Yes, it is perfectly safe. My Gyn put me on continuous BC since I would get mirgraines when I have a period. He said a woman doesn't need her period unless she wants to get pregnant. And the period we have on BC is not a "real" period because we aren't ovulating. I have about 2 periods per year and love it.

I have friends that get the depo shot every 3 months and never have a period.

I wouldn't recommend a teenager or someone in their fertile years to do it though. Might mess up their hormonal system.
