Your mother want's you to do well in school and like most parents she feels you are have more potenial then what you are leading on. Ask your mother for help with your speech.

From her perspective, you may not be being entirely honest. If she thinks you're wasting time by not seeking help or guidance with the speech then maybe she thinks you've given up on trying to finish it. I don't think she's trying to be mean but I think she is trying to encourage you to push forward and get this task done sooner rather than later.
The way she may be thinking of it is this:
If you were really stuck then why haven't you asked for help?
If you were really stuck then why are you wasting time doing x, y, and z rather than focusing on the project?
If you were really stuck then why haven't you talked about being stuck without being prompted by her already?
She is your mother and is probably well-aware of how you work and what you usually do with things you find difficult. She may be seeing signs of something you did before--saying you were stuck on something and then never finishing it out properly or seeking help. By prompting you about the problem, throwing her 2 cents into the mix, and then leaving it causes you to think things through. Why does she think I'm lying? How can I make her know I am working on this? How can I actually get this assignment finished?
I don't think your mother is being mean and I don't think you should feel she is being extra harsh on you. She is just trying to push you to be successful with this and doesn't understand about you being stuck and not ever talking about the difficulties you're facing. Sit down and chat with her about the project. Pick her brain. See if she can help, has ideas, or can point you in the right direct on how this speech can be ended.
