This thesis presents a study of the biographical projects of juveniles who had committed an offence and were under social support in the Contact Center. The method of narrative biographical interviews was used to collect empirical material. An analysis of the chronology of the narrative and the meanings attached to the stories of our own life experiences made it possible to establish how the life path is constructed and which events influence the trajectories of young people's maturation. The aim is to examine the biographical narratives of juvenile offenders. The study examines basic examples of adolescents' life trajectories while in a special state institution. Specifically, the agents of influence encountered on the adolescent's path to adulthood and the events that contribute to changes in that path are presented.
