I can’t tell you if you have bipolar. There are concerning behaviors you shared. You need to convince your parents for a developmental psychiatrist evaluation if they can afford it. It’s a 4+ hour exam testing for mental illness, developmental delays, and learning difficulties. Also get a physical exam to make sure nothing is physically wrong. Before going to the evaluation sit down and write down a timeline of your behavior and important events. Make sure you include your sexual behavior. If you write it in a note then you don’t have to share it when your parents are in the room.

As far as school goes, get your GED. Then look into a trade school or part-time college. If you take 2 classes a semester you’ll have a degree in 5 years. The college your in class for 6 hrs and you have homework cross reference what your local community college with Snag One of These 10 High-Paying Jobs With an Associate’s Degree . Trade schools you go all day or half a day but there is no homework, and you get a certificate in a year. Cross reference this list 43 Trade School Jobs Among the Highest Paying Trades with your local tech school. You also have the ability to learn a trade, then work and go to a college if you want to. I only say to go to a trade school or college because minimum wage jobs won’t be able to support yourself.

There is also the option for your parents to apply for disability for you. That will give you medicaid and a few dollars to pay for your medical expenses if you get approved.
