It's partly info. A lot of it, though, is similar to the problem kids who've done the whole "purity ring" thing run into, such kids also having high pregnancy rates:
If you stop having sex to take precautions, your whole "it just happened" story flies apart.
And as for going out to purchase or get a scrip for birth control...
ETA: with queer kids it's almost a reversal of the purity ring situation: a lot of queer women, especially, are so scarred by the whole "you just haven't met the right man" bs that they don't feel safe admitting to having had sex with a man for whatever reason.
