If you don't want to use birth control because of religious views, you should stop having sex and wait until you're older or married and ready to have children. If you're going to keep having sex, you might as well use birth control. using birth control wouldn't be making the whole thing worse as you said, it would just make you more responsible. Put everything aside for a moment, and just think about what it will be like if you get pregnant. Do you really think you're ready for a baby at 16 and all the responsibility and sacrifice that comes with it? It doesn't sound like your boyfriend wants you to get pregnant, so it wouldn't be fair to him. Unless you're completley prepared to become a mum, I think you should start using birth control.
