Birth Control
Are their any birth controls that garrentee you won't get pregnant? I'm 15, and if I go to my gynocologist and admit to being sexual active do you think they will give me a perscription? What birth control won't make me gain weight? I need help on choosing the right one. Also, what should I expect at my gyno visit?

Closest advice I have is personal experience. My girlfriend gets the generic brand of Ortho Tricyclin. Its effective, she doesn't gain weight from it (though that varies widely from girl to girl). It also costs her 9 bucks a month from Wal Mart, cheap and affordable.
4 years later and its been 100% effective thusfar. She's like clockwork, I think she might miss one pill every three months by accident. Be regular and you should be safe. Though condoms are still a must for STDs.
Your gyno should give you prescription without you even saying you're sexually active. Birth control is available to just about anyone who wants it. That being said, be honest with your gyno, the more they know the more they can help.

No birth control method is 100%, but the Pill is around 99% effective. It's always better if you combine your birth control with condoms, just to be doubley sure. It's worth discussing your options with your doctor or at your local sexual health clinic as they will be able to guide you in the right direction. There are other, less conventional methods such as the implant, patch and injection.
At your visit you may be examined but this depends. You may also be offered an STD test. The doctor will definitely ask you a few questions about your sexual and general health. This is also where you can discuss the different methods.
As for getting a prescription, I don't know how it works in the US but in the UK even if you are under the age of consent, you will still be given birth control. I imagine it to be similar there. It's better to have teens having sex safely than getting pregnant.
