I recently read an article about young Amish folks on the net. You know how trustworthy internet articles are don't you? Anyway, this article claimed when Amish kids reach 14 they are allowed to go out into the world to experience what living in the public is like. When they reach 18 they are to make a decision on whether they want to live the Amish way and be confirmed or go modern and leave. This article claimed a very high percentage of these young folks choose to live the Amish way.
I greatly question the validity of this article though. For one thing the article was worded to give the reader the feeling it represented ALL Amish communities. I know better than that. For another thing I doubt if the Amish communities would allow the chance for their young to be possibly indoctrinated by a society with beliefs differing from theirs.
A few years ago I read about part of the history of the Mennonite religion. Mennonite is very, very old, multiple centuries old, and is an offshoot from the Catholic religion. The founder of the Mennonite religion was upset with the catholic religion he belonged to so he went out and started his own. This article also claimed the Amish belief is an offshoot of Mennonite but Amish wasn't founded till the mid-1800's.
I don't claim for all of this to be true but instead I feel it's one slant on the subject.
