Résumé : Teenagers radicalized to jihadist Islam: guilty of their radicalization or victims of their adolescence? In this article we focus on the phenomenon of radicalization and try to understand why adolescents are the target audience most concerned by jihadist radicalization. Based on an inductive methodology (Grounded Theory Method) and interviews with radicalized youths, parents and professionals, we conducted research with the objective of providing some answers to this question. This research has found that radicalization is an attempt to find solutions to various problems that a teenager may encounter in the 21st century. Stigmatization, a myth of self-engendering embedded in society, disinterested parents or a decrease in the possible bonds of belonging around the teenager, seem to feature among the factors which some vulnerable young people are facing. The jihadist way to which he/she could be exposed by accident could then become a radical solution to the ill-being of the person who feels him/her self in danger in his/her feeling of being alive.
