I noticed today (August 18, '21) that the videos are no longer available on YouTube due to a copyright violation.

Although I wanted to at the time, thankfully I couldn't go to the High School Training, due to a conflict with family travel, and technically, I wasn't old enough to go although I know there were others younger than High School in attendance. A number of YP from my area did go, including my best friend at the time and my brother; they both make an appearance in the second video during the testimonies. I remember watching the both videos when everyone came back and feeling bad because I had missed out, but that feeling changed after watching so many of my peers crash-and-burn. Eventually our YP workers distanced themselves from it, and we never really talked about it much after that. I think this event was my first inkling that there was something "off" in church life culture.
