ok i have had several problems but people write it off as me being a hypercondriac

ok i am fifteen and have a lot of questions that need to be answered but no one in my family really cares to take me to a doctor to see if im right or wrong. ok first of all i see and feel a pulse in my stomach yes i know it could be an aneurysm but im not sure. i don't really have barely any fat at all because of my metabolism. im not exactly fit and active. im usually the one who always gets sick in the family, i think i have allergies, im very fair skinned, when i wake up i feel like complete crap, my sleeping pattern is completely messed up, plus i smoke which i really want to quit. i think i have worms or some parasite. i have stomach aches constantly and its always very mushy or diarrhea. it always feels like i never fully clean out my colon even when i take a laxative. and i have stomach pains that i cant distinguish as hunger or poop. sometimes i find little white stringy thin things in my poop and im not sure if its what i ate or worms i never take them out and study them because every one in my family thinks because they don't have problems im overreacting. when i was in 7th grade i had a swelling on my left side of my neck but the guy at the clinic said it might have been a lymph swelling or something that went away after some guy choked me jokingly very hard on the neck. could the neck swelling a couple years ago be a factor. so please give me some feedback on this im very worried.

Instead of talking about what you THINK it is and how your family feels you need to elaborate on your symtoms (symptoms) a little bit more. You said you have stomach aches and occasional diarrhea it sounds like. Are there any other symptoms? When does the stomach pain and diarrhea happen after you eat a meal? In morning only? Night only? All day? I totally understand how it feels when a family blows off your complaints of sickness and in my experience, the family turned out WRONG! But you gotta help us help you by giving more details about what you're feeling.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  Why would you take a laxative if you are already having diarrhea?  How long has the diarrhea been going on for?

It sounds like you have IBS-A which is IBS that alternates between constipation and diarrhea.  You need to convince your family that you need to see a doctor, specifically a gastroenterologist to get some testing done to make sure it isn't more serious.
