We don't know you or your Mum, so we can't say. Do you really need one? If you do persuade her, here are some safe download addresses for freeware. Its all legal!
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.

http://www.mozilla.com/ Firefox web browser

Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.

Get a life and earn enough to buy your own laptop.
If you genuinely asked your mum to buy you one, and you're too young to be earning your own keep, I'd say it's down to whether your mum is in any position, financially, to be able to buy you one, and whether you deserve to have one bought for you.

"dan_the_man" shouldnt be asking for mummy's help. However, just plain old "dan" should be.
