15, and I know the usually don't diagnose under 18.
I was sexually abused for about 6 months when I was 7 (NOT by family) I did receive counselling, but I have had a pretty hectic life.
Also there is a family history of mental illness.
Then there is no way of knowing for sure until you are 18.
Psychiatrists are relcutant to diagnose teens with mental disorders because teens often suffer from hormone related mood swings, identity disassociation etc. as a normal part of being a teenager. BPD may intensify that, but overall, you may be a mentally sane person that just needs more counseling and for your hormones to calm down.
