Do you really believe that so long as a kid is under 18 and living under the parents roof?

"So do you really think that just because I'm under 18 and living under her roof that I have to do every single thing she says"

Yes. You are the child and she is the adult, and it is her house.

However, if what she is asking is unreasonable (and I do think some of this sounds unreasonable) then there are adults who can stop her making these demands. You need to go speak to your counselor at school and tell her what is happening. Not allowing you to see a doctor, ridiculous punishments for small things, and things like suddenly banning coffee, are downright bizarre and potentially harmful.

She can't stop you going to a college, btw. You'll be an adult by then. She can refuse to pay. But if you can fund yourself and/or get a scholarship, she can't stop you going.

You have forgotten you have 2 parents. You father may not be around much but given he is not interfering he MUST agree with the way you are being raised. [EDIT: If he doesnt agree he should do something about it - given he isnt, he is saying that you are not important to him - keeping the status quo is more important]

Between the ages of 13-16 most teenagers go through this phase in their life. They believe their parents are just trying to make things hard for them. It is a perception YOU are having of the situation, amplified x1000. From the outside and when you hit that magic 19 mark you realize how silly you were and nothing was as bad as it seemed at the time.

You are getting the "under their roof" answer because you are being illogical. You are taking molehills and constructing mountains out of them. Really is going to mass at 6am soo bad? It is giving you insight as to how some people deal with life changes and turning to religion. What is the alternative? Leaving you at home while you mother goes alone? That is not an option for her - she obviously cares about you and doesnt wish to leave you at home alone (and it is possible that they (both your parents) do not trust you to stay home alone) so she has to take you with her. I was at the bus stop on the way to school at 6.15am every day and I managed to stay awake in class. You just need to go to bed a bit earlier and not play the "I was up until X " game with your friends.

It really depends on what they are. Some of the time teens can't decide what is best for them. I look back at my teen self I think even though I thought I knew everything in reality my mom and adults knew way more then me. You will understand that statement at some point or another.

But I see your side..

1.to me it is wrong to force religion on kids. It should be THEIR choice.

2. Not date anyone who isn't catholic is ridiculous and really lessens the dating pool for you. Not only that but there are people out their who were considered catholic and claim they're catholic but don't live the lifestyle of how a true catholic should! Example...an ex of mine claimed he was catholic but had over 50 sex partners...

3.I would never force my kid to keep acne

4. Where the hell is your dad in this?? It sounds like she makes all the shots and he just sits back and relaxes. Why isn't he sticking up for you?

I do think your mom is really intense but sadly we can't do anything about it. And reality is if you don't do what your told it sounds like you would get in really really big trouble. So I guess your choices are either put up with her antics and live life a little easier until you turn 18, hope to god your dad starts sticking up for you, or not listen to a word she says and be punished all the way up until your 18.

I believe that what goes on under MY roof with my kids under 18 is my business, but I'm not an unreasonable person. I wouldn't push any religion on my kids ever.

I would expect NORMAL things like clean up after yourself, don't be disrespectful, try hard in school. Things like that.

I think your mom is being irrational because of her brush with death. That tends to totally freak people out and if they are religious already it's almost intolerable afterward. I feel for you, I do.

I guess though, if your dad can't stop her from acting this way and she won't listen to reason you will have to deal with her the best you can until you are old enough to get out of there.

Good Luck.

Yeah, they do have the right to decide what goes on in their house, no matter how weird you think the rules are.

If you don't like it, just leave.

Add: So run away, dumbass, or suck it up until you turn 18. Really, it's not a big deal. You don't want to follow Mummy's rules, so who cares if it's illegal? Go stand out on a street corner or something. Oh wait, you're an ugly crater face so I guess that plan is out. You'll just have to live in the house that Mummy and Daddy provide for you and follow their rules for another couple of years.

Yes, absolutely yes. Parents run the household, not the kids.

You might not like it, but that's the way, as well it should be.

Most of the rest you've posted is just a cry-me-a-river self-pity-party.

Now, you can sit there continuing to feel sorry for yourself, and posting the same question over and over and over. That's not going to make you feel any better at all.

Perhaps it's time to learn one of life's great lessons and put it into practice - making the best of a "bad" situation.

Kill your mother. Simple as that
