Women wear   ankle length  dresses that must be one color and not very bright they have their hair in a bun under a prayer cap. Men wear black trousers  a dark or light color shirt with suspenders and a black hat they mush have a special hair cut.
     
Amish family's are often very large most family's have between 6-8 children, Amish teenagers have signings ( a social after church on Sunday's ) when Amish teens turn 16 they go on their rumspringa its when teens get to run around and experience the English world  then they choose if they will join the church or leave and join the English.

Usually when teens court they keep it quiet until they get engaged once a man marries he is not allowed to shave. Amish parents are strict and they discipline their children according to the Ordnung children have many things to do around the house or even the farm, the Amish community helps each other in mostly everything. Barn raising are pretty cool the men gather and help build a new barn together it usually takes 1-3 days depending on the size of the barn and  the amount of men that are helping, women are inside making food for the hungry men after they call it a day. The children's school house is just one room the Amish stop going to school at  8th grade they do not believe in a higher education once they leave school they go into their family business or go work in a local general store or in a cafe.Amish work with wood and make furniture and some women have bakery's.
