Think of your priorites in your life.
When I was a middle and high school student, I was a child who really listened to my mom.
I wanted to go to one school, but she wanted me to go to another school. I quarreled with her about our opposing opinions. However, I couldn’t help following her opinion, because it seemed if I didn’t follow her, all the things in my life would get out of shape fall apart. She wanted me to graduate from school earlier, and make some money and settle for my life. I think she thought I couldn’t do anything myself at that time. Looking at her like that, I also couldn’t believe in myself. After growing up, I often have often said to her, “I’ve followed you without reservation, but where I am now?” Then she’d say to me, "This is your life, why did you listen to me at that time?" I couldn’t attribute blame to anybody.
Here you could also say this as "When I was in middle school, and while I was in high school," if you want to include both times. It makes the statement a little longer, however.
Here I thought about changing "at that time" to "all those times".
"However, I couldn’t help following her opinion, because it seemed if I didn’t follow her, all the things in my life would fall apart." In my correction, I took out the second "follow" because you used the word twice very close together. The second follow will be understood without the need to write it. You could also substitute the first follow with listening to her opinion.
Reservation could also be hesitation or question.
*Additional correction: However, I couldn’t help following her opinion because it seemed seems that if I didn’t don't follow her, all the things in my life would get out of shape.
Oops, I accidentally made a run-on sentence and forgot to change one thing I wanted to change:
"She wanted me to graduate from school early, and make some money, and settle for my life."

I wanted to go to one school (you can also use "a school that I like") but she wanted me to go to another school. I quarreled with her about the opposite opinion. However, I couldn’t help following her opinion because it seemed that if I didn’t don't follow her, all things in my life would get out of shape. She wanted me to graduate from school earlier, and make some money so to settle for my life. I think she thought I couldn’t do anything myself at that time. Looking at her like that, I also couldn’t believe myself. After I've grown up, I often have said say to her “I’ve I followed you without reservation (you can use "hesitation") but where I am now?”. then Then she’s she said to told me, "This That is your life,. why Why did you listen to me at that time? I couldn’t attribute (you can use "point") the blame to anybody".
