I trust that my mom will see how I have matured through this experience, and not go to any extremes and block me from the outer world.

You are a smart woman. Well done. Ten years from now, you'll look back and recognize this a learning experience, and you'll be thankful it didn't turn out to be a harder lesson than it has. At your age, taking advice and accepting responsibility as much as you are is a rare trait. You have a bright future ahead of you.
BTW, you'll also end up meeting more interesting people that aren't interested in taking advantage of you.
