Have btb from missing a pill at the beginning of the pack. 4 active pills left but had btb for about a wk. would it be ok to skip placebos and still be protected? i really don't want to bleed anymore.

Yes: There are no studies that have yet to show that skipping your period by not taking the placebo has an harmful effects on your health. Just check with your pharmacy that you will be able to get your next pack on time, as you don't want to mIss taking them.
