First, there are varying degrees of observance with the Amish. Most choose
to shun technology completely, but not all. I grew up in Cleveland, within an
hour's drive of big Amish enclaves in Ohio's Geauga and Holmes counties. My
father sells flooring installation supplies and tools, and some of his
regular customers are Amish. Some he makes deliveries to exclusively, while
others drive to his store.
Plus, we're talking teenagers. Amish teenagers can be just as rebellious as
teenagers in other ethnic groups!
