I agree, and i think that even if you do go on birth control make sure to always use condoms, I got a std from an ex who had slept with someone while we were broken up for 1 week, i never in a million years thought he'd do something like that, now its me that has to deal with it
If you are sexually active then yes you need some type of birth control. You need to talk to your doctor about your options. Your doctor will be the only one to tell you which one you should try out.
