Its silly to cry over cellulite, practically every woman has got it to some extent, so it would be more surprising if you didnt have any. It sounds to me like your mum putting you down is the real issue here. maybe shes just a bit blunt and doesnt realise that it hurts your feelings. Just ignore it, you know that youre slim, maybe your mum is jealous of your youth and figure? i know i am;)
ps the best rememdy for cellulite is to drink lots and lots of water (as near to 2 litres as you can) if you dont like water, drink squash.
Why is your mother commenting on your so-called 'orange peel?' Now really, that is not the best way to inspire confidence in your offspring. Kindly tell her to mind her own buissness next time, I shouldn't imagine she'd fancy you pointing out her saggy bits.
Aaaaaaaaanyway. Orange peel. Hrm. How do you get rid of it? Well, no one really knows. Take a look at every womens magazine on the shelf and they are all asking the same question. Fat people get it, skinny people get it, it is totally normal.
Exercise will probably help, as will drinking lots of water and eating healthily. Some women swear by body brushing and exfoliating, some have more money than sense and buy expensive creams.
I shouldn't worry too much about it (easier said than done, maybe) but it really isn't that big a deal. Most women have it to some extent. Just make sure you are healthy within yourself and be sure to let me know if you find that elusive pair of trousers that fit.
Shoot your mum
The best way is to buy a body brush which helps to break it up, because it is to do with fat deposits under the skin. You can start doing something about it considering you are young, as I suppose the older you get the harder it is to "break it up".
I don't personally think the creams work - plus they are expensive too.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't!!:)

I would say start going to a gym...do lunges with dumbbells and ask others which machines are good for the hamstring/glutes areas.
I would encourage running on a daily basis. Although I only go running maybe once every two months, running is something I think just about everyone can do, whereas swimming is not.
