Which is the best contraceptive..?

I've asked my parents if I could go on the pill or have the rod.. but I don't know which is better?
The rod is for a long-term and you don't have to worry,(or something like that.. I'm not too sure..)
And the pill is awkward, if I miss one, it'll screw it up, etc..
What would be your opinion? Which would be best for a teenager?
Any opinions would be great! I just need reassurance on this; since it's my choice and my friends and family are telling me different things about the other. etc.
Thanks!

Someone posted this a while ago which may also help you to make a decision?
I personally have tried the injection, the mini pill and the implant. For me, the injection really messed me up, the mini pill was ok but I kept forgetting and the implant has been great. It's important to remember though that what works well for one person is another person's nightmare and that with things like the injection, once it's in your system, if it doesn't agree with you, you've got a while before it's out of your system whereas if the pill doesn't agree with you, you can just stop taking it.
Hope I helped a bit
Just educate yourself before you make a decision.
there is also plenty of info here on thesite itself under sex and relationships.
Like someone said, one persons perfect contraception can be another persons nightmare so it is a bit hard for us to advise you really, just do some reading and maybe visit your gp or local family planning clinic for some advice. Is it for contraception or another reason?
i hadnt realised that someone posted it onto here already, sorry about that; and i didnt notice the coloumn for it on the main page.. again, sorry.
i'm going to hopefully see the family planning clinic next week; and they'll suggest what will be best.. maybe.. :P
thanks
thanks for your advice/help.
Though where do you live? I thought contraception was an issue between your and your doctor however old you are.
