At 16 you will need a parent, guardian to sign the account agreement as you are too young to enter into the contract. Since the bank needs to have a legal contract with the account holder in case of bad checks, fraud, overdraft, etc. they require an adult on the account with a minor. I always recommend going with a local bank so you can establish a good relationship with the bankers in your community.

bank of american has a young person account i got one for my daughter in her name only when she was 17 and she did not have a job, try to open a savings account first if you do not have a job and i think you must have a min of 25 dollars to open one, also try wachovia they have a minors account

At 16, you cannot open a bank account on your own. You have to have that mom of yours that you don't trust open it with you and be a cosigner. I bet she doesn't trust you either.
