Abstract

Objective: The study explored the lived experiences of adolescent parents in the Philippines and how they were able to transitioned from adolescence to young adulthood.

Materials and methods: It adopts a descriptive phenomenological approach exploring the parenting phenomenon experienced by purposively selected adolescent parents (n=24).

Results: Using an inductive thematic analysis of the content of the entire data set, the research identified one predominant theme: "Rise where you stumbled," along with four sub-themes of adolescent parenting experiences, namely, "a child turns our world upside down," "beating the odds," "in good company," and "our hope and joy."

Conclusion: This study presents a cautionary narrative for adolescent parents in comparable circumstances. It reveals its multifaceted challenges and opportunities for effectively navigating its dynamics, emphasizing the psychosocial factors that facilitated the desired behavior and the underlying motivations that drove their forced transition from adolescence to young adulthood.
