It is a very very bad idea to start Birth Control before you get your period (or even in your teens!). Your body is not fully developed hormonally until well after (about 7 years) you get your first period and introducing artificial hormones at that time can be detrimental to your future health (not to mention the side effects you will experience immediately). Hormonal birth control is very risky and has many side effects.

If you are asking about a non-hormonal method of birth control, like condoms, it is a very good idea to use those if you are sexually active, even if you haven't started your period. You will ovulate before you get your period, and ovulation is the time at which your body releases an egg that can be fertilized by sperm.
