Well though I understand how you are feeling, I don't think moving into a shelter is the best idea for you. I know how it feels to have parents that don't understand you, but you don't really have an understanding of what living in a shelter is like.
There are a lot of people that live in shelters that steal, and they are not as safe as your home. If you are not being molested or abused, then you should stay where you are. When you live in a shelter, it's easier for you to be raped or jumped and beat up. They should be a last resort, and if you are a good kid, your shelter counselors will try to find a good safe shelter for you to live in, but you should really be thinking of them more as a detention center than a home right now. It might take some time for your counselors to find a good safe placement for you as a minor. In the meantime, it will likely be like living in juvenile hall.
Now in terms of your emotional pain and frustration with your mother, you should seek professional counseling. For this you can use a public shelter counseling program or a government program. Talk with a social worker or a counselor who can accept you for who you are, and provide you with the guidance for a career and for life that your mother cannot.
I think you should give your mother a chance to come to counseling with you though, before you go by yourself. It could be that she just doesn't know what you need. She is only human after all. She might truly want to be close to you, but just not have the intelligence or experience to do things right, many parents do not.
