when do you start the pill?

Hayley
So I am 16 years old and I got my first ever period about 8 months ago (I got my first a week before I left for Europe, was in Europe for 6 weeks then I didn't get my period for about another 6 weeks and when I did get my period after this, it was very heavy). My cycle has seemed to become a little more reliable, but at the end of this term I am going on a tour with school to Vanuatu for about a week (so in about 7 weeks), will it be too early to go on the pill? I just really don't want to have to deal with my period in Vanuatu
