My boyfriend and I have been thinking about doing it for the first time soon...you know, sex. I don't know what's safer, birth control pills or a condom, or where to find either...I really need help! I'm too embarrassed to ask any adults I know...please help.

Though nothing is 100% effective, the pill can help protect you against pregnancy, and the condom can HELP to protect you against things like HIV and pregnancy,though there is no garauntee.
