Yes, because your mother is a Portuguese citizen, you can obtain Portuguese citizenship (and therefore a Portuguese passport). The requirements will be a little different than that of your mates because you are now over 18 but you can still obtain one.

However, since I don't know what country you live in, your best bet AFTER making sure your country of citizenship ALLOWS dual citizenship, is to contact your nearest local Portuguese consulate to find out what the current requirements are.
