Abstract
(analytical): This study used a qualitative biographical-narrative approach to
capture students' voices regarding the way they experience secondary school. In order to explore the
autobiographical narrative identity of adolescents in a situation of academic and social vulnerability, the researchers selected a group of 33 Mexican students who were at risk of dropping out and falling
behind and asked them to create a digital story about their school experiences. We sought to understand
the factors associated with the progressive reduction in the meaning of education and school learning
for these students. Their narratives highlighted the importance of their socio-emotional lives, criticism
of school regulations and authority, the relevance of friendship and acceptance among peers, the way
they conceive bullying and the lack of educational facilities and services in affecting their view of
education.
Key words: adolescents, underperforming students, identity, narrative (Iresie Thesaurus).
