Abstract
Report brings insight into lives of teenage girls who, upon their decision to become under age-mothers, exceed the actual constructed norm. The aim of the paper is to answer questions how these young women experience their motherhood, what motives stood behind their decision, how they perceive themselves as mothers, whether they feel to be adult/mature.
First part of the paper brings legal and demographic settings for the topic, followed with research design and methodology description. Partial results of a pilot research are presented at the end of the report.
The pilot research consisted of semistructured interviews and written essays of 5 respondents. The respondents were under age mothers who had been sent to institutional care by court for under-age persons (they bring up their child in an educational institution).
Methodological tools will be adjusted according to the collected data analysis and then will serve for following research.
