BuzzFeed is of the same opinion and they have released an informative video about all the frequently asked questions about birth control.
Two gynecologists were brought in to answer questions. They briefly explained ovulation and menstruation, and they commented that hormonal birth control prevents ovulation. Afterwards, they opened up the floor to questions.
The participants asked many different questions ranging from, “What happens if I have one cigarette if I’m on the Pill?” to “Why isn’t there a dude pill?” It was very interesting how the experts replied and even cleared up common misconceptions about birth control, such as the beliefs that birth control can make you gain weight or become sterile.
Everyone agreed that all people needed to know more about birth control. One of the reasons why so many teens do not understand birth control is because we have abstinence-only education.
But, there needs to be more comprehensive sexuality education in schools in the U. S. Teens should be taught the different types of birth control and how to use them in high school.
