I examined the competitive culture of adolescent mothers and the sociodemographic characteristics that explain the formation and diffusion of this culture. I gathered data during a 3-year participant-observation study of mothers enrolled in a high school program for adolescent parents. The mothers competed in several areas: the provision of material possessions, the physical and cognitive development of their children, their knowledge of parenting, and their care and leniency in comparison with other parents. I conclude that the competitive culture is shaped by the age, social class, and race of the adolescents.
