hi there and welcome to Mylot.
I see that you are 16 and that is probably it in a nutshell. Are you a daughter?
I have 4 daughters and I was one. As a teen, i could not get along with my mom for the life of me. 3 of my girls are grown now and I'll tell you...the teen years were very trying. They wanted to be adults and I was used to being the mom and in control...it was push and pull. Some of our arguments got so heated over the silliest things. I could not tell you why really but I can tell you that I know from experience that your mom is more than likely just looking out for your best interests. Be honest and upfront with her and watch the words you use in anger. These times will pass and you will grow up and your mom will get used to you being grown up & not needing her as much and you'll be the best of friends. I think listening to each other and talking help a lot.

Perhaps first thing you should do is searching for the root.
There is no one cause only. Any problem that happen, there are at least two people involve. So, you might want to look at what you did before you put all the blame on your mother.
Keep me updated my friend.
Have a great life.

I think its normal to have small fight here and there between mother & daughter. However, don't worry, you gonna miss these fights and yelling when you start to stay apart from your mother (when you go to boarding school or grad school, where you need to stay in hostels, or when you get married and stay with your husband). Trust me, this is natural, just get a long with it and from time to time maybe you can do something to your mom (like cook for your mom). If she says you cook food is not good, treat that as an advice not the source of fire. :-)
