My mom barge into my room while I was dancing and now I m grounded?
So I was dancing, having me time and goofing off and stuff. You know whatever. Then my mom swings my door open, since I m half dressed I close it and say "wait a minute! Knock first!" and when I opened the door she started going on and on about "don t slam the door in my face" "MY HOUSE MY ROOM" and blah blah. When I tried to tell her I was doing something private she said I was "talking back" took my phone and I can t go out next weekend. Is this fair?

Part of the reason I shut the door was out of panic

Try to explain you were having some me time, tell her you paniced and did not mean to slam the door in her face, then leave it at that, see what happens.
No, it's wholly unfair. But there's probably nothing you can do about it until and unless you're old and financially stable enough enough to move out. At that point, you have leverage: Either she begins treating you with the same respect she wants FROM you, or you're outta there.
It's just possible you can get a teacher who you both respect to explain to her how unreasonable she's been. But I wouldn't bet much on that route.
Not really. She was probably in a bad mood to begin with, and you set her off without meaning to. No, it wasn't fair. But where is it written that everything will be fair. Sometimes we just have to live with it. That what you need to do now.
Well, if you slammed the door in her face i guess yes- but she is your mom i think it would be okay if she say you half dressed.... you should have tried reasoning first?
