Is it the pill or just normal? I can deal with it myself. I just feel bad for my boyfriend. Please help me.

 It can be the pill is not the right fit for you (hormonally) It can be that you suffer from PMDD

Make an appointment and talk to your doctor about it.
Good luck.

 I believe in most cases the pill helps take the edge off of menstruation "overwhelmness". Like k c100 worded so well. Because the menstruation you experience while on the pill isn't a real menstruation. But, how did you act before going on the pill?
You could talk to your doctor (or whomever subscribes you the pill) about it and perhaps try a different type of birth control pill?

 Well it is different for every girl - some get very emotional as part of PMT and some dont. Generally with the pill it tends to supress symptoms of PMT hence cramps are less painful, you are less emotional, the period itself is lighter etc. So I doubt it is the pill that is making you this way.
Do you have any other symptoms of PMT? Like strong cramps etc? Because if that is the case then maybe the pill you are on is too mild and you could do with a stronger pill that can control this for you. There are so many types of pill to choose from, all of which do different things. I have tried at least 10 different pills before I settled on my current pill, so if you feel the pill you are on at the moment does not quite work for you then see your doctor and discuss other options.
Even if you are happy with your pill aside from being so emotional, I would still see your doctor anyway. They will be able to advise you if there is a particular pill that can stop the PMT for you.
I hope this helps and good luck!
