I've been on the pill for a year now. I'm 16 and I am sexually active so I need protection obviously. But I hate being on a medication I've always been like that. I will ride as head ache out if I take anything for a headache it's serious. I also hate having to remember to take something every day. I was originally put on the pill because I get cysts on my ovaries then afterwards became sexually active. I just can't wait for the day I can stop the pill.
