Want to Switch Schools.
I am so frustrated because I hate my school beyond belief. The rules are ridiculous, the administration is always up your as*, & I'm having friend issues.
My mom won't allow me to switch, though, because of a bunch of reasons. I keep telling her how unhappy I am at this school, with these people, but she says I need to cope.
What should I do?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I switched schools during my sophomore year of high school, and was very happy with it. I went from a larger school to a smaller school, and I liked the smaller school so much better. My grades went way up because I had more friends and got involved in student organizations. Because of this, I understand why you might want to switch schools. However, I see your mom's point, because your whole life you will encounter problems, and you need to get in the habit of dealing with them, and not running away.
If I were you, I would make a list of the reasons why you think a different school would be beneficial to you in the long run. For instance, do you think you would make better grades at a different school? Why? Be thorough, and be as grown-up about it as possible. Perhaps you can convince your mom with logic that it would be a better choice, if in fact it would

Your mother is right. If everyone was allowed to switch schools because of rules, and friend issues, there'd be no one in school. Everyone will come across problems like these no matter what school they go to. Every school you go to, issues will follow.
You need to learn to cope. Talk things out with your friends, follow the rules (no matter how ridiculous) & respect the administration. There's nothing else you can do. You cannot switch just because you don't like the environment. Where your district says you go is where you go.

I think you should try to make a deal with your mom.
For example, you agree to going to this school for the rest of the school year, and if you still are dissatisfied, you get to switch schools.
But also think about it this way; you may get to the other school and hate it just as bad, or worse. This is a tough decision and i think you should think it out and talk to your mom about it before doing anything else.
