Your parents still have parental control over you until you are an adult, which in the UK is 18 years of age. Why don't you sit down and have a chat with your mum. Let her know you have a good head on your shoulders and wouldn't do anything you're not supposed to. Your mum is only concerned for you, she doesn't want you to come in one day exclaiming you're pregnant so she only has your interests at heart.
How old is your boyfriend? Does he have his own place? This will concern your mum too, especially if he's older than you, she'll think he's taking advantage of you and leading you on. It's hard for mothers to see their "baby" is growing up so quickly into a young woman. Reassure her and let her know she can trust you and you would never do anything silly. (Make sure if you DO sleep with your boyfriend you have contraception). Get her on your side first of all. DON'T end up having a big fight and walking out on her as that will hurt her terribly and show her no respect.
Try and work it out with her. Even if your boyfriend sends her a card saying he would never do anything to hurt you as he loves and respects you, that might soften her a little.
