I waited until 18 to become sexually active and was very ignorant with birth control methods. The condom ended up breaking and my mind went blank. I had no idea what steps I could take to make sure I didn't become pregnant. I ended up telling my Mother and she was actually really cool about it and told me about the morning after pill. The fact that you're now sexually active is a reason to go to the gynecologist and get all the information you can about sex. It's also a good time to get birth control and that doesn't mean you should stop using condoms. Honestly, you can never trust guys these days even if you think your in love with them.
I couldn't begin to tell you how many of my friends under 20 have sexually transmitted diseases. I also read a survey that said 1 out of every 3 high school girls has an STD now! So definitely continue to use condoms regardless of birth control. Men are silly when their young and sexually promiscuous. It sounds like you have a yeast infection and that is usually cleared up with one pill. I go to planned parenthood which is amazing because it's confidential and you don't usually have to pay.
