Hey IBSgrl,
I know it sucks having the burden of IBS on you so young (I was seventeen when I started showing symptoms). It, among other problems, practically ripped apart my social life and I'm slowly trying to pick up the pieces, but it is hard. My goal is to make some new friends, or revive some old relationships, before my twenty-first birthday in October.
just remember, even though your family and friends are giving you a hard time, at least you know they are there and care about you and miss you when you are not around.
I have had some pretty hopeless times, but hope is the one thing that I have hung onto to get me through it.
I have been on the diet only a couple of months, too, and even though I've been an improvement, there ia a lot of stress still to keep things "normal". As upsetting as it is, every morning I go through a panic thinking that I won't be able to have a BM and may get a bout of D later in the day at work.
But, I just go about my routine and everything turns out fine. Just keep on trying, please don't give up! There is too much out there for someone as bright and young as you!
You'll get through this. 
Oh, and listen to Bevrs advice about poop'n. It's helped me!
