I don't ever want children and I don't want to take the risk even though I'm already on the pill and always make the guy use a condom.

There is no permanent form of contraception, not even tubal ligation. Tubal ligation has a failure rate too and women have gotten pregnant any way in spite of it. It's not a very common thing to have happened but it can happen. Also, depending on what is used during the tubal ligation it can be reversed at a later date which is another reason it's not permanent.
All forms of contraception have a failure rate, some higher than the others.
Also, even though you say that you never want children even if you did want to consider a tubal ligation many drs may not be willing to do it because of your age and the fact that you could change your mind in the future.
Also, some States may not allow a dr to do a tubal ligation on a 19 year old til she's had a child already, or tell her to wait til she's older if she's not had children at that time.
I'm 35 years old and have never been married but I know that when it comes to the issue of marriage and children my mind could change. (Just using this as an example how even older women can sometimes make a decision and then change their mind depending on the circumstances).
I would suggest talking this over with your dr.

there isn't really a 100% permanent form of BC. I doubt the doctors would let you get your tubes tide at 19. They made my cousin with two kids, and is in her mid-20's , really think about it before they actually would do it. I would try the Depo if I were you. It makes you periods stop, and you only have to get a shot every three months. I used it for three years and didn't have any side affects.

You can get your tubes tied but even then it isn't 100% effective. You could also have a hysterectomy, which is when they take out your uterus. That is not reversable. Getting your tubes tied (sometimes) not always though, is reversable...so if you decide to have children someday when you are married later on in life, you can!

Tubal ligation tho I have to question how at 19 you can say you don't ever want children.

I don't think there is a permanent form of contraceptive. except you have a malfunction ovary due to taking too much contraceptive.
