Sex ed is taught in school (I went to catholic school in the late 70s and it was taught then...) The information is available to people... "they don't know" is a bullshit excuse - those are the people who need to be taken and shot to prevent them from ever reproducing..

I have to congratulate you on your education. Rest assured, in the rural south in the late 80's, it was not taught. One guy came around with a film strip when we were juniors, but by then there were already 6 pregnant girls in my class. They dedicated more time to gun safety and army recruitment. However, my public high school did and still does teach bible studies. I still don't understand how they get away with that.
Compound that with the fact that at many stores, condoms are under lock and key so you have to get somebody to open the cabinet to purchase them. And a pharmacist can legally refuse to honor a birth control script.
Now put all these problems in the hands of a nervous 16 year old girl, and you get the same dubious sexual choices that have been made since the dawn of time.
