This paper is a result of the research named Adolescents and knowledge: subjective positions, bond modalities, and possible destinies that was carried out in the context of the Master's Degree in Psychoanalytic Research (2010-2013) at the University of Antioquia (Colombia). One of the findings of this study is the understanding and arranging in hindsight of the subjective responses given by the adolescents interviewed. It is done from the graph of desire that Lacan proposes in his Seminar V. Indeed, the presence of the Other in the destinies that knowledge has in a teenager is crucial to understand the subjective positions of the adolescents. Thus, when an adolescent raises the question “what is my place in the desire of the Other?”, in relation with the school knowledge, he or she may respond with the ego Ideal I(A); with the fantasy, (S ◊ a); with the symptom, s(A); or with the signifier of the barred Other, S(A).
