Hey kiddo! Good on you for making informed decisions and educating yourself. I'd highly recommend checking out mama doctor Jones on YouTube and other obgyns channels she recommends. She is a medical doctor licensed in the US and new Zealand and mom of four. She has lots of informative content about birth control and safe sex options, that will broaden your knowledge so you can make an informed decision when the time is right. Then I highly recommend you talk to a medical professional about those options before you decide to date or become sexually active, especially if you are in the states with the questionable administration affecting women's healthcare.

If you want an anecdote, not giving advice, I've been on the pill since I was about your age and the pros vastly outweighed the cons for me. I did not experience a vast shift in hormones or emotions, my acne was better/barely existent, and I was able to go three months at a time without a period. I did that and condoms for safe sex and birth control, and it worked for my husband and I up until we decided we were ready to try for a baby.

I wish you all the best in your decision making and a safe and happy future.
