My mom is being really dodgy with my own money

[Path]

3 years until I can backslash.

You can take her to court when the time comes, mother or not. She's another human being with unauthorized access to your earned currency, and that's considered stealing.

why don't you stop tutoring?

Although it's part-time, it's serious income for me. I have about five clients that are constantly relying on me, and If I quit, it is more than likely I will lose all of them.
Losing clients is bad for your reputation, especially when you wish to acquire recommendations for future clients.

I earn about 150/h tutoring rich 10 year olds. However, my mother always takes my earnings away and gives me only 5$ of it to spend, saying i'm too 'irresponsible' with my own money, even though I've been trying to save it. She said she deposited it into my HSBC account, but the balance has stayed the same for months on end. Whenever I ask her about it she says she's keeping it safe.

Why are you working if you're not getting any of the money?

My mom used to do the same kind of shady stuff with my money. My dad retired when I was under 18 so I would get social security child benefits every month that would seemingly disappear into the void. I would sometimes get the money if I bugged her enough. I probably didn't get more than $2000 out of what would have been about $24,000 over the period that I got child benefits. She did the same stuff with my dad's actual social security check, she managed it and only put about half the money into his account and lied about the total amount given to him so he never really questioned it having other income sources. When we blocked her from accessing it later on she threw a huge stuff fit and disowned my brother and me essentially. Not a huge deal since cutting ties with her was a benefit to both of us and my father.

Unfortunately since you are under 18 most banks will require you to have a guardian to have access to your account. You might want to try opening an account that only your father can access besides you if you trust him not to screw you over.

Reminds me of something that happened between my dad and I except it ended up just being a miscommunication.

When I was 14, my grandparents gave me a $100 bill for 8th grade graduation. My dad offered to keep it safe since I wasn't at home and didn't carry a wallet all the time, so I gave it to him. When we got home a few days later, I asked if I could have it back to put in my wallet. He was just like, "But didn't I give it to you?" I just said "No..." However, he didn't have a random $100 to give to me. And he still didn't for several months.

But on my 15th birthday, I got a PS3, which was supposed to be an extra extra special gift on the deal that I would just forgive the $100 debt. I was happy though and probably would've used it towards a PS3, so I was cool with it. Almost three years later, I was cleaning under my bed and found an unfamiliar envelope. I opened it and found the lost $100 bill. But since I am a decent person unlike the majority of the forum population, I gave it to my dad.

My mother earns like 150k a year and she's stealing my money.

My father earns minimum wage and he has the decency to send me 80$ for my date.
