I love your sense of humor. Seeing an OBGYN is certainly a priority since you have become sexually active.
There are always side effects to anything you put into your body. Some people react different to contraceptives and your friend should certainly see her physician if she is experiencing the emotional roller coaster. There are several different types of (the Pill) and different doses so she may be on one that is too strong and they can change her prescription to offset the emotional portion. That happened to me also. It took three times to the OBGYN to get the right one that had no side effects.
The Mayo Clinic provides a substantial amount of information on the different forms of birth control methods and you can read about them here http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/birth-control/BI99999.
Some of the birth control methods will cause you to NOT have a period and if you are looking for regularity, you may want to try the pill.
Also, when you go see your physician, make sure you talk to him about all the choices that you have, he/she will be able to prescribe you what would be best for your body. Let us know what you end up choosing.
