scared of a pap

Ever since I was younger I have hated my vaginal area. I always felt like there was something wrong with me and that I was "ugly" down there. My labia are longer, and just ugly. I am now in my late teens and my period has been messing up. I need to be put on birth control for that and sexual reasons. Only one person ( my boyfriend of many years ) has seen me naked since i was very young and I am terrified to get put on the pill, because of the pap. i am afraid the doctor will tell me something is wrong with me, or tell me i have an ugly vagina or something of that region. i do not know what to do. this is probably my greatest fear.

You are NORMAL!  There are millions of women who have the same thing.  There is nothing wrong with you!!
Your Doctor will not say anything about the appearance of your vagna.
You have to get a pap for your own health.
It may be scary at first, but its over in a min and you'll feel a thousand times better.
You;ll be fine!
Good luck!
