Am I Bipolar? What should I do?

I have had very high times and low times in my mood lately.
Like a cruel roller-coaster.
My self-esteem seems to be being ripped apart by this because for a week I’m beautiful and for a month I am a swamp-like creature.
I also have a ton more energy than normal, and can come up with better ideas, too.
I’m really happy, but also very mad; easily irritated.
During these time I’m also very social, interested in people, which is strange because I’m pretty much anti-social.
I also have really strange habits, and because of all this my school, and family-life is affected.
(habits:saying rude things, biting my fingers, yelling at people who aren’t even talking to me, being very impulsive, daydreaming so much I can barely concentrate on real life)
I’m 90% sure I am at the very least Bipolar II.
Anyway;
I’ve read up on this; taken a few scientifically reviewed tests and they all say:
Moderate to Severe Mania/Depression very likely;
Beneficial to get screened.
But the problem is my parents will not get me screened,or take me to a therapist and are very-anti drug. So I’m left with nothing because my parents are still my care-takers.
School is out now, so I can’t talk to a counselor there.
My parents believe that mental illnesses occur from terrible situations and abuse, so I’m just perfectly fine because I haven’t been abused.
But the funny thing is from the moment I was born I’ve had more than my fair share of traumatic experiences for my age; (13 surgeries due to facial defect, loss of two siblings, institutionalization e.e)

I just feel like I’m stuck.
What should I do?
