I totally sympathize with you...my symptoms started when I was 8 years old and by the time I was your age, IBS was ruining my social life too. If only I had the knowledge I have now back then! I missed out on many sleepovers, birthday parties, school trips, dances, you name it....How's your diet? How long have you been dealing with this?
I'm totally serious when I say this, but I have a small portable potty in my car for my kids when we are on the road, and it gives me so much comfort knowing that it's there if I have to be in the car and away from bathrooms for any great length of time. I've never had to use it (knock on wood I never have to!), but just knowing that in an emergency it's there greatly reduces my anxiety. I also munch on "safe" crackers, etc....when I start to not feel well, as well as sipping on lots of water.
