Abstract

Abstract. Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood. It’s a
time when individuals have sexual curiosity and interest. Some teenagers are sexually
active, while others are not at all. Teenagers who have sex are at risk of experiencing
unwanted pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to determine the description
of the meaning of life in teenagers who experience pregnancy outside of marriage.
This study is a qualitative study with thematic analysis techniques. Sampling in this
study utilized purposive sampling, with a sample size of 5 participants. There are
four main themes found: 1) Initial response during pregnancy, 2) Challenges, 3)
Experiential Values, and 4) Hopeful Values. It shows that teenagers who are pregnant
outside of marriage find sources of meaning in life through the love given by people
around them, spiritual activities, and hope for themselves and their children to have
a better life in the future.
