okay this might sound kind of funny but im just making sure! ive probably been on birth control for about a year now..not for sex or anything but for my period. is there different kinds of birth control? like..if i wanted to have sex with a guy would taking my birth control still be effective, or is there like birth control just for sex and just for your period? im just wondering like..im scared to have sex obviously because im scared of pregnancy and all that other stuff! so if i ever find a right boy that i love and when i feel the time is right i want to make sure im as protected as i can be =)

You are as safe as you can be for pregnancy. Because
there are STDs out there, and some like the AIDs virus can change your life forever, you should still insist that your partner wear a condom.
Here is a good website that covers lots of subjects of interest to teens. It answers a lot of questions you might have and info good to know before you become sexually active. :)
