i feel suffocated around my family because i ALWAYS hang out with them and it is boring and whenever i hang out with my friends my mom WOULD keep calling me and annoying me about what time im coming home, always worried about me even though i dont go out with my friends that much because of my mom and my family, im already 19 and its still like this and thats why i dont feel happy when i hang out with my family because i always hang out with them anyway, is there anyway i can hang out with my friends longer? sometimes i cant enjoy hanging out with my friends because my mom would call me asking where i am all the time.

I am surprised to hear that you are 19, and your mother still calls you often when you are out with friends. Time to let go. You're mom may just be overly cautious and have a lot of anxiety about you getting in an accident or something. Well not much you can do about that. I mean the chances are slim to none, but if she doesn't believe it now, when will she ever.
But if it is just a matter of trusting you to do the right thing, when confronted with drinking too much, or drugs, or guys who are jerks...then you need to verbalize to her that you are smarter than that, and not about to jeopardize your future over something like that.
Good luck to you
