Help? Birth control

I'm 18, never had sex, it's mainly oral and just his part rubbing against mines and kissing. My mom put me on birth control because she's afraid I'll get pregnant when I don't have sex anyways, I am on the pill now and would like to know the side effects, pros & cons? And also I been taking it I'm on the 4th row I believe, according to my calendar my period will come on in 3 days. I still have pills left for the rest of this week and then the last row - I think they're green pills, do I take those? I'm confused.
