Kuurt, you will be making choices sometime soon. Every choice we make comes with consequences, and/or a price.
Like Roadrunner suggested, the choices will be yours, since a forced or pushed recovery is no recovery at all.
I would suggest that you consider the cost of whatever decisions you make in your life anytime soon. I chose the path of silence, and look at where I'm at. I had many of the same classic signs of acting out at your age. (Falling grades, social isolation, poor self-image, experimenting with drugs/alcohol). I didn't just choose the path of silence, I chose no path of "doing nothing", as if my problems would just go away once I hit some arbitrary age like 18 or 21. Well, the problems didn't go away. They're still with me and I'm only now starting to address them.
Recently, you paid a price by barely exposing the fact that you have underlying issues that you would like to see addressed. (You got yelled at by a Mom that doesn't understand your situation and betrayed by a school counselor that doesn't know how to do her job). Yes, you paid a price for that.
If you choose to not address your problems, what will the cost of THAT price be?
