OB-GYN(Obstetrician-Gynecologist)OB-GYNFor you, there are very important things you should consider:
* the use of contraception or birth control. Contraception like an IUD, nexplanon, or depo injections does not require you to take or use something daily/frequently so the chance of forgetting is low
* The use of condoms to prevent the transmission of STDs. If you're having unprotected sex, not only can you get pregnant but you can also get an std. HPV is a virus that is spread through sex and can cause cervical cancer. There is a vaccine to prevent this.
* Excessive drinking or any alcohol/drug intake at such a young age can put you in harmful positions and also have a negative impact on your health and growth.
Going to planned parenthood or your local health department for help and assistance would be an amazing opportunity to address all of these points: starting birth control, getting condoms, getting STD tested and vaccination for HPV, and talking to someone about alcohol or drug use. I encourage you to take the right steps in helping you be the best you can be.
