Birth Control

[waterspyder]

I'm reading a friend's website, and she's talking about birth control and how most teens are afraid to acknowledge they have it or are terrified when their parents find it. What the hell was wrong with me then? Birth control was a "Yeah, and?" sort of non-event, of course then again the mood swings I had before birth control, which although only mildly alleviated may have served to override the parental concern that I may be having sex. Everyone knows boys have cooties anyhow. Speaking of which, when I went on the birth control shot, the nurse told me i still had to use condoms for the first 2 months. Wait a minute? Just the first two months? BIRTH CONTROL DOESN'T PROTECT AGAINST STD'S!!!!!! It's advice like that that gives people herpes.

If you're only having sex with one person, and they're only having sex with you, and you both have been thorouly and properly tested, you're not likely to get any STDs.

However, the fact that birth control still has a bit too high margin for error does mean that using condoms is still a good idea.
