Is it bad that I don’t want to go on the pill? Like, I get that it’s good when you’re in a relationship but I’m not really sure about it and I just don’t want to risk the side effects from it.

Nothing wrong with deciding it’s not for you, but keep in mind that there is a lot of propaganda out there an anecdotes that don’t represent the usual outcome. Most people have little to no side effects. And those that do have better outcomes than an unwanted pregnancy. Talk with your doctor about staying safe and all your options. Pills are just one group of methods. I was terrified of birth control and it ended up being such a huge positive in my life, beyond just pregnancy prevention.
