The aim of this study is to describe the psychosocial characteristics of a group of six young women, infringing of law, detained in a reclution center in the city of Medellin. To achieve this objective we used a qualitative research, narrative and autobiographical mode, which collected data from the life story of adolescents then describe and analyze them. It was found that in these cases various relevant factors converge in the formation of identity of adolescents. These variables can observe the social and family role assigned to them and the existing risk factors in these contexts, and the subsequent identification of adolescents with these representations, which are individually idealized.
