birth control


In my science class I have been studying up about the effects of using birth control and why it’s such a controversial issue. Back in the days if you were using birth control you were considered a betrayal to god because you’re stopping the natural order of things. The younger you are while taking the pill like 13 or 14, the longer those chemicals stay in your body for. When taking the you should know all of the side effects like…
•Increased risk of breast cancers

•Risk of blood clotting, heart attack and stroke (and even worst if your smoking)

•Migraines and headaches

•Gall bladder disease

•Increased blood pressure

•Weight gain

•Mood changes

•Acne and oily skin

•Nausea/Vomiting (especially at the beginning)

•Irregular bleeding or spotting

•Liver tumors

•Breast tenderness

•Yeast infection

  1. Hi Kimberley,

    Wow, there are a lot of side effects for the pill. It made me curious on what the pill actually does to the reproductive system. Can you find that out? Also, you can tell your followers something about that picture that you've posted. Also, a suggestion...write your posts in Word and then edit. Read it out loud and make sure that it all makes sense before you post, OK? Finally, don't worry - I'll show you how to follow others blogs in class next week and then be able to comment to them.
