Answer 1

One major negative to birth control is it does NOT protect against ANY STDs. It is very effective against pregnancy, but offers NO protection against STDs.

However, being on birth control does NOT increase your chance of contracting a STD compared to someone who is not taking birth control. Woman who don't take birth control are just as likely to contract a STD as a woman who is on birth control.

There are MANY advantages of taking birth control though. Many women who take the pill have fewer menstrual cramps and lighter periods. The pill also offers some protection against pelvic inflammatory disease, which often leads to infertility when left untreated.

I wouldn't be so dismissive about it. You might think "it could never happen to me", but don't be so sure of yourself. I was young and naive when I was 17 years old and I didn't listen to my parents. I now have two incurable STDs because I didn't listen to them. You are going to have sex sooner or later and your parents just want to protect you. It's better to be safe than sorry! Good luck!

And no, birth control isn't undesirable for you. in certain situations you are able to get ovarian cysts, regardless of the reality that. yet do not imagine that being on the pill is immoral or something. some women human beings surely favor it. yet she will't rigidity that upon you.
