Does birth control make your periods easier?

I am sixteen, not sexually active but I have been talking to my mom about getting on the pill. My periods are about average when it comes to heaviness, but I always end up feeling completely miserable with the cramps that I get. Would you say that taking birth control has been beneficial as far as making your period lighter and even less painful?
