So for English we had to make a power point about us and who we are... I told the truth on my power point... but most of the things i put on there my mom wouldn't really like... i'm afraid to show her....
should i make up a fake power point to show her if she asks?...
she doesn't know that i am depressed and she doesn't know who i really am...
what should i do?... we fight alot and if she saw this she will get really mad...

Talking about depression should be a measured activity.
Maybe, just for now, lie on the presentation. You don't want to talk about important things until you're ready.
She shouldn't get mad. If you sit her down one day, when you're ready, it would be better than telling her passively through a powerpoint.
Important thing is: Wait 'till you're ready.

i wanted people at my school especially the kids in my class to know... they see my signs but ignore them and make hurtful jokes because they don't really know what is going on... my mom is the reason for my depression... thats why i don't want her to know... i was never planning to show her my presentation...

I'd take it up with a school counselor

I'd say just do it. Do what feels right to you. But talk to your mom about these things first. You don't have to mention the presentation, but it might help to talk to her. My parents weren't really understanding about it, they kind of slapped it away is a phase or something and kind of looked at me as a weak person. I could understand the fear of telling your parents something like that.
