The data are from qualitative interviews with 53 black teenage mothers and their nonparent peers who reside in Detroit or Milwaukee. Findings suggest that, in general, nonparents had more success in school; however, some teenage mothers were relatively successful in remaining in school. The more successful young women cited support for schooling in three broad categories: personal traits, family support, and role models in the community and school. The findings suggest that the worst educational consequences of early parenthood in this population may be mitigated by the intervention of caring individuals inside and outside the family and by the nurturing of the young women's personal strengths. Social work research and practice should assess these components and their relationships to develop better ways to nurture the attachment to schooling shared by many inner-city women.
