The instructions with the pills say to take it as soon as you remember. Seems sensible. If you miss two, take two for two days. Since you're taking (usually) birth control pills, I assume you don't want to get pregnant. To be extra-safe, use another form of birth control (condoms, or the like) in addition to the pills until you get your pills back on schedule.

I usually take my pills in the evening, so if I forget to take a dose, I'll try to take it as early the next morning as I can. I don't know about anyone else, but if I take two at the same time, it will upset my stomach. Sometimes, I am so far behind that I'll have to take one in the morning and one at night for about 3-4 days in a row.

Immediately take it as soon as possible (if the next day). Your pills will still be as effective.
However, If you have have been late taking or have skipped more than one pill this cycle, DO NOT have unprotected sex as you have a higher chance of becoming pregnant. Wait until you have finished this cycle and start a fresh pack of pills.

Read the pamphlet that came with your pill pack or talk to your doctor or pharmacist!
Google your pill online and look to where it says what to do with a missed pill.
Mine (Kariva) states to take the missed pill as soon as your remember and take the next one at the regularly scheduled time. It also states to use another form or protection for a week.
Every pill is a bit different, so please check your pamphlet or google your pill online!

You double up the next morning and continue as usual, unless you had sex the day you forgot your pill, then you need to go to family planning and get the morning after pill within 48-72 hours if you don't want to be pregnant.

Don't take plan B yet. Find the directions to your birth control and it should tell you what to do. Usually if you just miss one pill you can take it as soon as you remember and pick up where you left off. If you can't find your directions call your gynecologist and they should be able to tell you.

If you forget to take some of the pills, you will have menstrual bleeding at unpredictable times and you may get pregnant.

If you only skipped one day, take it as soon as possible. Nothing bad happens. You can't take 3 in one day though.
Oh and if you go away on a long weekend and forget it, well you get your period again. Should wait about a month before having unprotected sex to be sure your hormones have calmed down.

take two the next day to make up the missed pill

Only kidding this will NOT work. Maybe get the patch instead.
Avoid sex and for sure use other birth control until you get back on cycle.

Depends on how many times you forget. If it is a one time thing nothing should happen. If you forget on a regular basis, you CAN get pregnant. And your period will start up again.
