[quote=Anonymous]It's good that she asks you what is wrong when you look sad. That's what concern parents do.

See it from her point of view. She responds that way because she is not getting the answers/response she wants. And she knows something is troubling you, but you are not telling her. Her reaction is almost like, it's hopeless because you will remain sad and your mom can't help you BECAUSE you don't tell her what the problem is. 
There is a bit of miscommunication or the lack of it between you and her.

Try telling her what is making you sad and see what her response is. If she wants to solve your problems, that's just what some parents do-solve problems for their kids. If she still respond negatively towards you after you tell her your problems, then, tell her the negativity bothers you. But, if you want to be mature, you can say something is bothering you but it's a problem that you need to handle on your own. You could ask for advice. But, if you simply do not know why you are sad but others see it, something is bother you. 
You can't change her behavior or thoughts but you can learn to develop yourself into a mature and responsible person.
