Teenagers run inside Scientology buildings – level 1

Teenagers run inside Scientology buildings

11-05-2026 15:00

Hundreds of teens in Vancouver, Canada, run into a Scientology building. They want to film a video for social media. This is a new online challenge. They run through the building and see everything before the guards stop them.

The church leaders are angry. They say that their building is a quiet place, not a place for internet games. An expert says why teens do it. They think that the church is a mystery. It is fun to attack this group.

Some people think that the videos are just a joke. But the church is afraid that someone may get hurt. They want the teens to stop using their buildings for viral videos.

Difficult words: challenge (to test how strong someone is), guard (a person who keeps a place safe), mystery (something what you do not know much about or do not understand).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What reason does the expert give for why teens are drawn to filming inside the Scientology building?
