You would need your mother to give you up in order to be able to have someone adopt you. The only other way is having Social Services find that she is an unfit parent. If she's not abusing or neglecting you, it's unlikely that they would find her "unfit". Abuse, neglect, parents using drugs, etc are reasons that Social Services will take children from parents. If you two simply don't get along and butt heads often, that is not a valid reason for them to take you from your parent/guardian. If your mother is abusing/neglecting you or using drugs, I strongly urge you to contact police or tell another adult (a teacher, guidance counselor, a family member you can trust).

Talk to your school counceler and see if they can get you in the system. Then you can get placed into a home.
