I have been on Sprintec oral contraceptive birth control for about two and a half years now and it's been a little bit of a ride. I was put on the pill for medical purposes before I started actively using it as contraception. I was a little scared of the pill at first because of all of the things I was hearing about it.

One of the worst things about being a girl in this society is that you are under a constant microscope. What you wear, what you do, and most importantly, what you look like are under constant surveillance by those around you.

That being said, waking up with pimples or marks on your face can prove to be detrimental to your self-esteem. One pimple is manageable, but when you suddenly find yourself developing severe acne all over your face, it's easy to get upset and feel like the whole world is staring.
