This article reviews, from the narration of two young people (Luisa and Israel), which are the main landmarks that they emphasize in the process of social exclusion that is related in their history of life. Through the use of biographical-narrative techniques we try to give voice to the young people and to think together with them which are the barriers that the school and the society impose on some individuals and that finally exclude or disable them.The points of coincidence in both cases are exposed finally, those obstacles that both recognize in their vital history, and also the original aspects of each narration, those that make of the life of Luisa and Israel a unique experience. Finally, some reflections are exposed on how the discourses of the young people clarify and extend our knowledge about the social exclusion and put the school and other social institutions at issue.
