what do you do if your mom has felt the lump too, but doesnt think its anything "to worry about"?

While it is unusual for a teenager to get breast cancer, it does happen. Any lump in the breast needs to be investigated. Your mom needs to take this seriously and to take you to a doctor.
Now, a question for you. Where are you in your cycle? You should do your breast exam monthly and do it a few days after your period.
While it is important to get the lump checked out, do not panic. Most lumps are nothing to worry about. I located a site that I think will explain a lot to you:

Please let me know how things turn out. I hope your mom gets you into a doctor for an examination.

we don't understand the reason. If we did, we'd have the flexibility to keep away from it and handle it greater perfect. indicators are uncommon. I had a pink rash modern-day from the tumor inflicting tissue ameliorations. The lump replaced into particularly super yet my record not at all detected it. No concerns although; that is totally treatable, large now.
