Because I'm only 17 I don't want to have to use any other protection but I don't want to get pregnant. But is the pill and condom pretty safe, I know it's not 100%.. But do you think I will be safe this way? Thank you.

You are protecting yourself the best way possible.Make sure you NEVER forget a pill, miss one or take one over 12 hours late and you can get pregnant-even up to 5 days after having sex because sperm can live inside you for that long.
Only have sex if you are 100% sure you are ready and trust your partner. Take care.

It sounds very safe and sensible to me. Just make sure that you use both PROPERLY.

Yes, very much so. The best combination is the pill and condoms. Each are both 97% effective, so you should be absolutely fine.
