Without knowing the full story, it does seem that the girl who is following you all around is a stalker type. Most people can read non verbal and subtle hints that they are not welcome. If you are very young, that could explain why she isn't "getting it". She may have a mental disorder or a learning disability that is not allowing her to read the intent of the people around her. You might have to sit down and have another talk with your mother and explain that, while you are trying very hard to follow her rules, this kid is "out there" and not really welcomed within your circle of friends or at least see if your mom would allow you to set some boundaries with the girl, such as a set number of days/week that she can "follow" you and for how long on those days.

I do want to point out that it might be very hurtful to this girl if you do tell her to leave you alone. If she is clueless about the fact that she isn't really wanted, she might take it pretty hard. Later in life, you will have situations where you will have to spend time with people who you don't want to be around. You will have people at school and at work that drive you nuts, but you won't really be able to do much about that unless you are willing to quit your job or change schools. Unless someone is stalking you at your home or honestly scaring you at work, all you can do is deal with them in the best way you can manage. This could be a good learning experience. I do not, however, believe that stalking is ever a good thing. It would be much easier to determine if I knew your age, how long you have known the kid and what the circumstances of the stalking are.

Good luck. I do know what you are going through. My mom made me befriend a child who was flat out WEIRD when I was too young to understand what was wrong with him. I resented him because of that and, although I didn't treat him badly, I did have ways to get away from him that probably fall into the unconventional catagory...lol.

Show your mom this post...

I say it is rude and probably illegal for the neighbor to "follow" you around because the following could turn into "Stalking" and stalking people is illegal

Nope. I have a friend who is extra lonly and i want to pulverize him. I am putting my foot down harder each time to keep him away. I know how these people work It's trivial. Remember that they are being rude first. My mom told me the same as your mom told you.
