"reduces acne"
My girlfriend used to have very inconsistent acne breakouts; she'd not have any zits for like 2 months and then she'd have all kinds of zits for like a week and then none for a week and then tons for a week and then none for a month, etc.
So, her dermatologist suggested she go on birth control pills at 16, because he said that she had something wrong with her hormones (perhaps an imbalance? I'm not sure) and it would help regulate her hormones/cycles. Of course, her super"Christian" mom was like, "NO NO MY DAUGHTER AINT' TAKIN BIRTH CONTROL NO WAY NOPE NO WAY."
I really wish she had, at some point, been on birth control, because while her acne cleared up (after fucking experimental chemical washes or some shit for like 6 months?!), she still ... well, it's kinda like her breakouts were. She'll act FUCKING INSANE for like a week, then completely normal and calm for a few weeks and then THE CRAZIEST MOST HATEFUL SADDEST MEANEST PERSON EVER for a week, etc.
Perhaps a bit off topic, but I guess I'm gonna go on record and say that birth control pills have definitely helped more than they've hurt people, and some people need to be on them for various reasons (though, obviously, the decline in teenage pregnancies is definitely a plus!). I see nothing wrong with this. They're not FORCING the girls to take them, and the girls would get them some other way if they wanted them. Obviously, the hormoanal "screwing-up" may effect some girls negatively, but I'm willing to bet it will help a lot of girls too.
Nothing wrong with this.
Though, yeah, obviously, if you're a girl fucking some random dude, he should probably still wear a condom to prevent STD's. STD's in middle school.. Jesus.
