I deny that it (abuse of alcohol, drugs, and sex) is encouraged by the Elders and parents.

I don't think it is encouraged at all. I'm sure it's actually discouraged. I'm talking about the practice of rumspringa as a tradition. It just seems strange to leave the door open at a certain age. Let's not even bring drugs etc. into it. Leaving the door open to have a cell phone if it's wrong just seems contradictory. It's just a strange practice.
