How young is too young for birth control?

Home More advice Health

I have been reading a lot about the schools in Maine administrating birth control pills to middle schoolers without notifying the parents. I was just wondering what sort of side effects the birth control has on such a young body? Do the pills mess up their hormones or growing development? How about the children that are taking the pills before they have their period? Are they taking any risks on their bodies?
