Thinking of taking birth control
So I am 17 years old and lately I am thinking of taking birth control. I am not sexually active but I have painful periods and acne and I heard birth control can help with that. My mom never took it so I don't know what I have to do. I am also really scared of going to an obgyn and getting an exam. And I heard there can be a lot of side effects. Is birth control worth it?
