Adolescence is the period in which efforts to give meaning to life peak. The principles and values of religion that make life a meaningful contribute to the more meaningful and peaceful life of adolescents because meaning is the most basic element of life and religion is the most important element of meaning as well. Our research focuses on the contributions of religion on the search for meaning and leading a meaningful life in adolescents. In this study, it was seen that the opinions of the adolescents participating in the interview about meaning and meaninglessness were compatible with previous research studies and other research results in the literature. The research is based on the theory-building approach which is one of the qualitative research methods. In this context, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 people aged between 18 and 24 who were reached by a convenience sampling method. Content analysis and descriptive analysis were performed. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12 software.
