                            The Amish is a religious group of people who live in communities outside the city they have been around for some time now. Amish communities live very simple lives they don't use electricity, drive cars and wear normal clothes like we do. 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.
