Which form of birth control should I use?

Allison
I recently decided that I wanted to start birth control since I am sexually active and will be leaving for college in less than a year. I am 17 now and do not plan on having children for a while. I want to start birth control so I can enjoy life with less stress, along with the fact that my periods are absolutely miserable, to the point I am regularly missing school. What form of birth control do you recommend? I want to do as much research into all of them before I decide. Your opinions meen a lot to me! Thank you! 😊
