The teen years are when a person is breaking away from their parents and establishing their own identity as a person. They may be very mature in one area, but still child-like in another. They have enough experiences to think they can handle anything - but hey usually do not.
If you are in high school, and you looked back at someone in grade school - how would you think of them?
Your Mom has about 20 years more schooling in this thing called "life" than you do. She sees you as you see the person in grade school. You know so much. and yet you know so little.
The famous writer Mark Twain once said: He was amazed at how much his Father had learned in a few short years.
I got married at age 33 to a woman with 2 teenage kids (girl 16 and son 14). We have a few discussions (fights) over things. 22 years later, the kids tell me I was right and they wish they had listen more often.
Sometime, even adult cannot see the true situation until it has passed and become someplace where they should have been. A lot of how a parent knows when your are lying or doing something you should not be doing, is because they made the same mistakes when they were your age. And they don't want you to make the same errors.
I gave my wife's kids 1 rule: You are responsible for what you do.
If they made a mistake I would help them out of it. But if they did something stupid (like drinking and driving) I told them since they knew better, if arrest - don't call me.

Speaking as a mom of 3 teens,though it may seem like your mom is ruining your life,listen to her,do what she asks of you,do well in school,do not talk back,and talk to her often.Let her know whats going on with you(good or bad).Tell her you love her,and hug her daily.Thank her daily.Ask her what you can do or not do in order for the two of you to get along.

me and my mother get along, but try not to stay around each other for to long. try to find other things to do than to be around her. and when you have a problem then you go to her, talk to her about the things parents are supposed to talk to you about and just let her know that you love her every once and a while. remember no-one else is like your mother!!!!

i suggest a sit down with your parents and talk to them about what the problem is and how you can all work around it no yelling this will show your parents that your a mature and can put your mind to use and they may trust you more in the long run, it worked for me and my mum.. cant hurt can it?

Just stay away from her. Dont be around her too much. Only when u have too. This keeps the relationship healthy and not annoying

Avoidance does not solve any problems, it only delays that issue being resolved.
Take Care
