I really want a septum and I have for a long time. My older sister and brother have piercings and my mom hated them, but I've told her that I would either get someone to do it for me or just get it when I'm older. I'm afraid to even ask her because I don't know how she would react. Help me !

Chances are you won't be able to change you mother's mind. But talk with her about the idea and show her this page:
http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/What_Parents_Need_To_Know_FAQ
With a septum ring, you can have it pierced with wide set, curved barbell or with an opened CBR in which you will not have a ball in place (hard to explain that one) there are also septum retainers that sometimes can be used for initial piercing. It is very possible to tuck this jewelry inside your nostrils so she cannot see it. If you remind her of that, she might be more inclined to say yes. I have my septum pierced and I flip it up from time to time.
However, while talking with her, no not yell, do not call her names or say anything that will make you seem immature. The point of talking with her is to show her you are responsible and able to handle this, and yelling will do no such thing. I know, trust me.
Though your brother and sister have piercings, they are not to be used as a guilt-trip tool to get her to say yes. Your brother and sister are not you, so you should not compare.
I'm not saying do the piercing behind her back, don't have a friend do and don't you do it yourself, because that is unwise to your relationship and trust with her. And if you do go behind her back, she will be less than happy with you after that.
Talk with her, take her to talk to a piercer and show her the page above. I hope you are able to change her mind, but if you cannot, wait until you are older and not living at home and then you may do as you please.

My Mom always said "As long as you're under my roof..." She couldn't really say that any more when I turned of age and didn't stop me from getting the piercings/tattoos I wanted at that point.
All you can do is try. Approach her maturely and seriously. Let her know it will be professionally done and that you know how to take care of it properly. If you're not of age and she says no then it's best to wait.
The best thing about a septum piercing is that it can be hidden (tucked up under the nostrils). I'm not in any way saying to get this without her permission. Still ask but let her know that she will never have to see it and make sure she doesn't if she does allow it. For this reason also it won't interfere with any job opportunities if that is a concern of hers.
Good luck and don't be upset if she does say no. It will give you something to look forward to and possibly a birthday present to yourself! Maybe by that time you'll be glad you waited and it turned out to be something you'd rather not have after all.

There is honestly no harm in asking. She'll probably say no, but even if she does..don't have a friend do it. or go to a shop thats not legit. I had my belly button pierced in china town when i was 16 and the woman pierced it crooked and it ended up rejecting. It wouldn't heal for the entire year i had it and it was always disgusting and puss-y. Now i have an ugly scar on my belly button. Worse come to worse, wait til your 18 because its worth it. Now i have my septum, nose, lip, etc pierced and NONE of those piercings gave me any trouble whatsoever.
Always research the shop you go to! Make sure all of the equiptment is sterile too! Everything should come out of sterile bags and not just out of a drawer!

just wait till your older...but when you do get older and try to get a job most places do not liek facial piercings. and will make you take it out because they are "unprofessional looking" so if you would like one when you are older then you will need to be jobless for a few months till it heals. anyways....besides that. your mom will probably react the same wasy liek with your brother and sister. so why bother asking lol. if i were you just wait till you are older and jobless..... but whatever you do, if you do get it, have it done by a professional! dont have a friend or anyone do it. thats very risky... lol
good luck but itd wait if i were you. my mom and bf arent pleased wthmy piercings either. so i know how you feel. lol i dont have any facial piercings but have my navel and my ears pierced quite a few times..

wait until you're older.
my mom's rule was if you want something (tattoo, piercing, etc) wait five years and if you still want it you can get it.
now I have several piercings in my ears, my tongue and my belly button and I am really glad I waited and listened to her
