I don't think that a lot of teens think there is ever a chance of things happening to them. Not all of them mind you, but there seems to be something about being young that makes you think you're basically invincible (Or at least it did me and most of my friends growing up).

You also have to wonder how many of the guys in these cases are against wearing a condom because "It doesn't feel as good" or similar, as well as remember the intense pressure that is on some kids to be popular or well liked. I can easily see scenarios where two young people are together and things get heated and since it's spur of the moment the male, even if he would be willing, doesn't have a condom with him. In some of those cases, either the hormones take over and they really can't stand to wait, or perhaps one or the other pressures the other into it.

As far as getting birth control goes, you have to remember that just because a young girl doesn't have to let her parents know she's getting them doesn't mean that she isn't potentially too worried about her parents finding them in her possession later. If she fears getting in trouble at some point over it, she may decide it's a more acceptable risk to chance it without birth control.

There are a lot of factors I think, some you can adress and some you can't. Personally, I blame movies, gaming and music like all good citizens are supposed to do.
