No, it would be considered grossly unethical.
Hormonal Birth Control should be avoided unless for birth control or to manage serious health conditions, it should not be used for menstrual problems and certainly not for something like lightening flow.
Hormonal birth control works by suppressing your natural hormones in order to suppress the menstrual cycle to stop ovulation, as you no longer ovulate it means that you no longer menstruate. The bleeding women experience on birth control such as the pill is the withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormoneswhen going from active to inactive pills, it's not menstruation. Although withdrawal bleeds can be lighter than menstrual bleeds, there are far more effective and less extreme methods of lightening flow.
By suppressing menstrual cycles hormonal birth control also effects over 150 different bodily functions so effects a person physically, emotionally, mentally, and neurologically. You lose the benefits of your cyclces such as being better able to cope with certain things or having clearer thinking at certain points in your cycle, your immunity is also lowered and you're less able to absorb nutrients from your food while on hormonal birth control. Hormonal birth control has a wide range of side-effects including increased risk of vaginal infections and depression, through to serious risks such as heart attack and stroke. Long-term the pill increases risks of bone health problems and Breast cancer, we also don't know the long-term effects of suppressing menstrual cycles in someone going through puberty.
No good doctor should put a woman on hormonal birth controljust to lighten flow, however many do because women want it, it's easier than explaining how it works or other options, easier than investigating underlying problems, or because doctors have financial incentives to prescribe hormonal birth control. It would be especially unethical to prescribe to a 10 year old because there is no way that someone of that age would be educated enough about their bodies or birth control to understand what is could do, or understand possible consequences to be able to make an informed decision about whether or not to use birth control.

Is it normal to not have a period if on birth control pills for a long time?
It depends on what type of birth control you are on. If you are on a birth control that will only make you have four or so periods a year, then it is normal. If you are on a normal birth control it really isn't normal to not have a period. Failure to menstrate is often caused by hormonal imbalances, certain conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, could be causing the imbalance. In any case a good consultation with a family physician or a gynecologist would be a good order.
