Adolescent pregnancy has been widely acknowledged as a major social problem in the United States, particularly for African Americans. Most of the studies on low-income African American adolescent pregnancy concentrated on causes and consequences of pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to generate a grounded theory that explains the social-psychological processes of low-income African American adolescents who avoided pregnancy. Five in-depth focus groups and seven individual interviews with 17 low-income African American women aged 19--26 years old who did not get pregnant when they were adolescents provided the data. According to the grounded theory method, transcripts from the focus groups and interviews were analyzed using the constant comparative method, theoretical coding and memoing, reduction, selective sampling of the data, and selective sampling of the literature. A basic social-psychological problem---negative social-psychological scripting and a basic social-psychological process that addresses the problem---rewriting negative scripts were discovered through interpretive analysis. A substantive theory was generated that describes how tough girls rewrite their negative scripts. Tough girls were strong, self-determined, and self-protective. They had supportive mothers, friends, and role models. Tough girls used awareness and introspection to recognize negative scripts and became disenchanted with negative scripts by believing in their own uniqueness and knowing what was right for them. They were determined to be different by avoiding pregnancy, abusive men, and poverty. Tough girls ultimately made their lives different by not getting pregnant, having good boyfriends, finishing high school, and planning for college and career. Understanding of the process of rewriting negative scripts used by tough girls can assist nurse practitioners to facilitate successful sexual, reproductive, and male partner choices, and future education and employment options for low-income African American adolescent girls.
