How can i convince my mom to move us out of this neighborhood?
I basically grew up in this neighborhood but from the get go i was an outcast. My parents are from central america and everyone in this neighborhood is mexican. My mom is a diehard christian and everyone here is catholic. Not only could i never relate or be like everyone here because my mom forbid me from living the lifestyle that most mexicans live, but i could never relate because my parents culture (more like my moms because my father left 10 years ago) is completely different from theirs. I was bullied alot in school and ended up getting social anxiety. Now i never leave my house because i dont want to see the kids i grew up with. Whenever I encounter them they are always asking me why i never leave my house and treat me like ****. (Btw the majority are the stereotypical alcoholic didnt finish high school type). So as you can imagine, living with social anxiety in a neighborhood where everyone looks down upon you is really frustrating. My mom doesn't seem to care, after all its not her heart thats beating at 150 beats per second every time she leaves the house, its mine.
So how can i talk her into moving and making her see this from my point of view?
Thx for reading all of this, and please help me because im tired of feeling trapped in my own life. Im 17 btw.

im not sure how willing your mom will be to listen, but make sure to tell her all the experiences you have been through and everything you feel (making sure not to get angry yourself and to stay calm if she is not)
if all else fails, then if you can wait longer, move away yourself at 18 or find a shelter or therapist
