Do you think the dermotologist will prescribe me Accutane?

I have used the following:
Clean and Clear:
-Continuous Control Acne Cleanser
-Persa Gel
-Advvantage Acne Spot Treatment

Neutrogena:
-Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Cleanser
-Acne Stress Control Foam Wash
-Oil-Free Acne Wash

Biore Ice Cleanser, Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser, Skintelligence Cleanser, Cetaphile Gentle Skin Cleanser, AcneFree Sensitive Skin Kit and Nature's Cure.

Prescriptions I have tried:
Duac Topical Gel, SFC Lotion Soap Free Cleanser, Differin, Retin-A and Brevoxyl-4.

I am very aware about all Accutane side effects and have researched it for about the past month. I'm sick and tired of my acne. I don't care what I have to do to get rid of it. My acne is mild and very annoying. Do you think I will get Accutane?

P.S. I am 15 and I've had acne since I was about 11.

But I know people who's acne is less "severe" than mine and they have been on Accutane. Are there other requirements besides severe acne?

And I know about the birth control. My friend just chose abstinence. It doesn't have to be actual birth control pills or stuff like that.
oh.my.gosh.
Can ANYONE give me a legit, reliable answer!?

Why would god make humans suffer through acne?

It's quite possibly one the worst things to live through especially if you have moderate to severe acne. You know what I'm talking about if you have it. You can't live a normal life because when your conscious of the acne on your face and you can't help to think about when your face to face with someone. It makes socializing hard and it can actually make your life pretty depressing. I have taken products to help my moderate acne but it doesn't seem to be consistent. As soon as i notice my face starts to clear up I see another pimple beginning to form. It's like a constant battle, and sometimes I feel like people that don't get acne are so lucky.
But I used to be lucky I guess because I lived 16 years of my life without a pimple on my face. Now im 18 and acne has hurt my confidence at times. On the good days when i don't have acne I feel great and motivated, but as soon as the breakouts come it's a nightmare to say the least. I don't feel like doing ANYTHING and my motivation is out the window. I don't want to talk to anyone face to face because of it so it can get pretty bad.
Does anyone know a GREAT solution that helped their moderate acne? because i can't seem to find one.

Things i've tried-
I wash my face in the morning and night every day with neutrogena facial wash oil free

i put on clean and clear spot treatment 1-2 times a day, I've tried pro-activ as well
I've even taken natural pills and supplements to help with acne
I honestly eat healthy, ESPECIALLY compared to my friends that i only see eating junk food ( they have little to no acne by the way)
This is really starting to affect me please help.
