Birth Control and Pap Smears

Hello, i'm 16 and have been thinking about getting on the pill to help regulate my period and all that junk. I've never been to the Gynecologist, so I wouldn't know what to expect. I heard from some people that in order to get on the pill, you'd have to get a pap smear, and other people have told me you don't. So do you or do you not? Also, since I've never had a pap smear, what is the procedure like?

Thank you 😄
