Okay, as for skipping pills, here is what my doctor said... it shouldn't affect the birth-control benefits of the pill if you are on a pill that offers equal amounts of hormone for the ENTIRE month. However, if you are on a progressive/tri-phase pill (ie. orthotricyclene) then it might and (not to be gross) you will not skip your period completely on tri-phase, you will usually have "spotting."
As for you, Hootie, there are several pills that are clinically proven to clear your skin up instead of make you break out...
And, DeltaSig, reassure your girlfriend that if she does gain weight (which is usually not too much), her chest will probably grow too! That is where most girls I know gained all their weight when they went on the pill... not a bad deal!
