Active. what is the best birth control method for a teen?

One you will use!: There are many contraceptives available. Used appropriately & as indicated & directed, one should feel safe from pregnancy. For a teen, Implanon is a no-brainer. One insertion and good to go for a couple of years. No remembering! in right situation, IUD may be considered. Again no remembering. Monthly nuva ring, same idea. Daily pill--you gotta remember! can fail due to absorption & meds.

BCP : The pill is simple and easy to use and most of them have low incidence of breakthrough bleeding. The maturity of the teenager and how willing is she to take a pill daily has a lot to do as well.

IUD/Implant: Regardless of your age, blood pressure, family history, or reactions to other birth control, the most effective and safest methods of birth control are long-acting progestin-only methods, such as the implant or the hormonal IUD, which decrease rates of endometrial cancer and decrease bleeding. They're safe, reversible, and don't affect weight gain/mood. They're almost as good as getting sterilized
