Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
Let me add to what Zane wrote.
Seeing a dermatologist for your acne is a good idea. Mild acne is a teenage curse and for young women it is sometimes made worse than for boys.
As for gynecology: Regular checkups are a must and something you have to do annually for the rest of your life. The PAP smear is the first line of defense in early detection of Uterine Cancer. My wife tells me the PAP smear and other tests doctors have for early cancer detection are painless.
You should also discuss with your doctor and your mom is if you wish the HPV vaccination. HPV has been known to cause cancer in some women and the virus is undetectable. There are pros and cons to this vaccination and you alone have the right to make the decision whether to have this one.
None of what I have written so far will have any effect on anything you have asked.
Congress passed a law called HIPPA. In that law is a portion that gives anyone over the age of 14 medical confidentiality over their reproductive system and rights. What this means is: Everything I wrote about above is strictly your decision to do or have. Mom cannot force you to see a doctor for any of this or can she stop you from seeing a doctor for anything concerning your reproductive system. Parents may not be told of anything you and the doctor discuss, are examined for or treated for. This is the medical confidentiality of the law.
Now for the heavy flow and cramps you have. Birth control pills may help control these problems and is something you should talk to your gynecologist about. You can do so as mom cannot be in the exam room with you without your consent. IF you want birth control pills for any reason the doctor must write the prescription. In your case it may be medically efficient to prescribe and mom cannot stop the doctor from writing the prescription.
No one can see you medical file for anything related to your reproductive health without your expressed written permission. If you were to become pregnant parents cannot force you or stop you from having an abortion if you chose either option.
Congress wrote this law not to give young people he green light to have sex. They wrote this law so that when and if they developed problems with their reproductive systems they would seek medical advice and treatment safe in the knowledge they could speak openly and freely with their doctor.
Most of your questions would be best answered by your gynecologist. Just tell you doctor or the receptionist that you wish to invoke your rights under HIPPA. Mom will be told she must wait in the waiting room if she is with you for the visit. You can also make appointments to see the doctor without parental consent or knowledge under this law. Health insurance will still cover the visit.
Just bring your health insurance card with. Your health insurance card is something that you are old enough now you should carry with you at all times.

Having sexual intercourse has no affect on weight or acne.
If you want to help the weight avoid saturated fats, Added sugars and processed food. Focus more on fruits, veggies and protein.
As far as acne, Avoid greasy foods, Makeups. Make sure you try to wash your face with warm water everyday.
This should help.
For cramp pain try Midol, This can be found at Walmart.
Pap test really aren't much to worry about. I was scared too but it is no more then 5 minutes in and out and it is only slightly uncomfortable. No big deal at all
