ABSTRACT

Adolescence is the period between childhood and adulthood. Adolescents go through developmental tasks that must be completed successfully. Adolescents will become individuals who have lost their way if developmental tasks fail or are not completed correctly. This causes deviant behavior to emerge. Self-acceptance is the process of accepting or actualizing individuals with healthy personalities by adjusting and making themselves happy, which occurs between the ages of 11 and 22 years when the individual experiences change in mental, emotional, social, and physical maturity This research aims to determine the process of self-acceptance in adolescents who got married by chance. This study includes 2 (two) adolescent participants who were accidentally married. This was a qualitative data collection study that employed observation, interview, scale, and documentation techniques. The Berger Self-Acceptance Scale was used. This scale was a Likert scale with 36 statements about self-acceptance. This demonstrates that adolescents who are Married by Accident have self-acceptance based on consensual relationships that result in adultery. Subjects E and I both have fairly good self-acceptance, as evidenced by the highest aspect of the two subjects, namely confidence in their abilities; subject E receives a score of 2, which is in the range of scores X> 21, and subject I receives a score of 22, which is also in the range of scores X> 21.
