charges have mass. and mass is simply the amount of matter in an object. if charges are made of matter, why can’t we create or destroy charge? why is it conserved like energy and matter?

There isn’t a charge particle. Charge is a property of a particle–it does not have a mass. It just so happens that ALL particles which carry a charge have mass, but that in itself does NOT mean that charge has mass.

Even if the above wasn’t true, your question doesn’t make sense. You admit to the conservation of energy/matter, and at the same time try to ask: charge is matter, so why does it conserve?
