Abstract
Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal abnormality that affects exclusively girls and always results in a short stature . This article is based on an ethnographic research whose main objective was to look into the narratives and daily practices of Polish girls diagnosed with TS . The article describes strategies adopted towards the bodily manifes- tations of TS in everyday life of Polish teenagers diagnosed with this condition . In this paper, I explore the meanings and practices around normalization of Turner Syndrome which are being negotiated in the process of socialization of children with TS.
