In summary, achieving balance meant that
adolescent mothers could balance their life by using strategies to adapt themselves to multiple roles during
childrearing and schooling. All participants applied
the strategies of adjusting to new identities, adapting
lifestyles, coping with the new roles, and asking for
support to deal with the multiple roles simultaneously.
They gradually adapted themselves to a variety of
tasks and ultimately could overcome the situation of
being a mother and being a student. The participants
performed multiple roles simultaneously, and used
the strategies as internalized adaptation of themselves
to balance their roles that was a dynamic process and
happened concurrently as a cycle.
