I believe that in one of the articles I read, the girl was apparently on birth control (at least her mother was getting her to act a little responsible), but she had lost it and stopped taking it. In any case, no birth control is 100% anyway, even condoms if something's gone wrong.
But yeah, I doubt they would've bothered to try to get their hands on some condoms. There's usually a minimum age for buying them, and embarrassment tends to stop a lot of kids from even bothering to try.
What I will say for Britain is that at least your government (in theory) funds comprehensive sex-education. For the past eight years, the US has refused federal funding to any sex-ed program that offers information about any alternative besides abstinence, something Obama still hasn't done anything about yet, I believe.
