Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to explore the lived
experiences of teenage mothers living with solo parents along coastlines of Agoo, La
Union. Using snowball sampling, a one-on-one in-depth, semi-structured interview was
used in collecting data from eight (8) teenage mothers, currently residing in barangay
Balawarte, San Isidro, San Manuel, and San Nicolas. By means of thematic analysis, the
findings suggests that the lived experience of teenage mothers living with solo parents in
the coastlines were influenced by a complex interplay of parental responsibilities,
financially unsecured, pregnancy turmoil, social bounded, fractured family dynamics,
support networks, and balancing independence and priorities. This study found that
teenage mothers living with solo parent in coastlines face various challenges, yet they
developed coping strategies and social networks that would support them while exhibiting
the demanding responsibilities of early motherhood.
