controlling parent

I really don't mean to complain or sound ungrateful, but I am just so frustrated. I'm seventeen, almost eighteen, and my mother controls every aspect of my life.

1) What I wear.
I can't wear anything from Hot Topic, and when I do I have to hide it from her ;-;. And omf, don't let her catch me wearing those clothes, I seriously get in trouble.

2) What I listen to.
No sleeping with sirens, Pierce the Veil, Devil Wears Prada, Bring me The Horizon, MCR, any of that 'devil' music. Any song that has the word sex or drugs in it, I can't listen to.

3) Where I go.
I don't have a car yet, so I resort to walking. But my mom won't, she won't even let me walk across the damn street. All I can do is go to the park that is literally right next to my house. I can't go anywhere without her, and don't even get me started on going out of town. Can't do that either, not even for school activities.

4) Dating life.
She throws a fit if I try to go anywhere with my boyfriend, so we stay at my house half the time. I know it's her house and such, but we can't even hug each other. ;-;

5) What movies I watch.
If it ain't disney, she won't go for it.

and there's so much more, but damn it is frustrating! I'm almost eighteen, damn. I know it's her house and her rules and I'm still living her, and probably will be after eighteen (god knows she'd throw a huuuuge fit if I went to move in with my boyfriend and we were unmarried) but can't she give me a little room to breathe? ;/

do any of you have this problem?
