I've been in this situation with my sister. She got in with the wrong crowd, took drugs, commited a lot of crimes. We tried to help her but the more we did that the worse it made her. In the end she moved away, but i always made sure i knew where she was and how she was doing. In the end she realised what she was doing was wrong and came home. I'm actually not talking to her right now as she threatened my son, and even though she has given up the drugs i still can't forgive her right now. But the main thing is i know she is safe.
My advice would be to stop pushing her, she is a teenager and it is a well known fact, the more you tell them not to do something, the more they will do it!
With the loss of your parents i am sure you are all coping with a lot right now and she is probably angry at the world. You can't force her to come to her senses. So i would suggest you keep a close eye on her but try and give her some time to realise things on her own.
I really hope things work out for you, please keep me updated!
