Last night I was watching Cold Case. It was about this Amish girl who was murdered. She left her community because she was sick of being so protected. She wanted to go out and see the rest of the world. She decided to go to Philadelphia and her best friend came with her. When they got there, they saw one of their old guy friends who used to live with them. He was telling them how great it was to live in the city and how great it was not having to follow all the Amish rules. The girl was really excited about all of this, but her friend was scared. The first day they went to a club, and the girl met this guy. They started to get to know each other, and the girl really liked him, but then she found out that he raped her best friend the first night they got there. Her best friend had already returned home. The girl was so upset and she wanted to go home. But then her mom came. She told her daughter that she should take the opportunity, and stay out in the real world, because she (the mom) never had a chance to. So the girl decided to stay. Then her old guy friend found out about this. He told he should go home when she had the chance, but she didn't want to. He told her she was making a mistake, but she said she wasnt. He got mad and he stabbed her. Later we find out that the old friend was banned from the community because he had drinking problems. They wouldnt accept him in their community. Even though he acted like he really liked the outside world, the truth is, he really wanted to return home, but he couldnt. He missed his parents and he missed the rules. So when he found out that she had the chance to go back but turned it down, he was so jealous and he thought she was making such a big mistake. That is why he killed her.
I thought this was so sad, because the guy really wanted to go home. Because of the Amish ways, they wouldn't let him live with them. They just kicked him out instead of trying to help him. Also, the kids are so sheltered and they never get to see other places. I'm not saying this is bad, because some people like rules and protection. But for me, I'm just happy that I am catholic and I get a lot of privileges. I don't have to stay on a small farm and be sheltered from everything. I get to do things with my friends and travel to other places. I get to experience the world.
