My Mom Just Stole $1000 From Me. What Can I Do? (mi)

I'm 16, I turn 17 in August. I just got a $1000 scholarship to put in a savings account for. Today, my mom got the check before I did, opened it, and now is saying she wants to "borrow" some of my money. I tried putting my foot down, telling her I wanted at least half to put in my savings account and she told me she wants more than half. She then said "thanks" and didn't let me object.

That is money that I've worked my ass off for. I've gotten a 3.91 GPA overall. She's super strict about school and has kicked my ass for anything under a B. I'm going to be a senior in high school soon. I know $1000 isn't a lot of money when it comes to college but it's the principle. She's been taking money from me for years but there's nothing I can do because the account she had been taking money from is in her name. I've got my own accounts that she can't get access to. She's not the kind of mom I can just stand up to. Whether I like it or not, she's gonna take that money and spend it. She won't let me get a job so any money I get is from her. She won't let me drive so even if I got a job I couldn't get there, and I can't move with my dad because I have 3 cats and he won't take care of them. What can I do to make sure that I get paid back? I know that if there's not legal action done then I'm never gonna see that money again but it's not even about the money though. It's really about the fact that she's taking money that belongs to me without my input.

If anyone needs anymore information I'm happy to provide some.
