Understanding the Experiences of Teenage Parents: The Case of Indigenous People-Out of School Youth in Sitio Bukay-Eel
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
This multiple-case study explored the experiences of five Indigenous out-of-school youth teenage parents from Brgy. Landan, Sitio Bukay-eel, Polomolok South Cotabato. According to the data, themes emerged from transcribed audio-recorded interviews through qualitative template analysis. The study revealed participants' views, feelings, and realizations towards their experiences. Themes included unrequited plans, distress, adaptive environment, and differences in perspectives. Common feelings included babysitting difficulties, contraceptive awareness, and contentment. However, some participants had critically minded thinking, became regretful, hopeful, emotionally overwhelmed, role transition, and felt ashamed and disappointed. Realizations involved personal growth, prioritizing education, determined matrimony, dealing with maternal challenges, and dreaming continuously. It is important to note that the conclusions drawn from this research cannot be generalized based on the participants' experiences.
