Trust is earned by a history of responsible behavior and telling the truth. The fact that you don't have a father living with you doesn't make you any less of a family, it just means that you mom has to do the job of 2, why don't you cut her some slack? Also do you think a parents only job is to provide food and shelter and accept you for who you are? No, it is her job to train you in such a way as to make you a plus for society not a burden once you are an adult, as well as to protect you from even yourself.
So why don't you work on your relationship with your mom and not worry about friends who I guarantee are not going to be there for you 10 years from now. Your mom wll.

If you're 15 and going out 'partying', you're NOT being responsible, so don't try to convince yourself that you are. You've just been lucky so far that you haven't been caught around someone doing something dangerous.
Regardless of any lack of a Dad or siblings, your Mom is no less your Mom and you are her legal PROPERTY until the day you turn 18; within the law, she has every right in the world to tell you EXACTLY how you must live your life and when you deserve to not be in her immediate supervision.
Unless you're an honors student at school (I get the impression that you aren't), just being sober isn't enough - are you helping with keeping the household chores up, like mom is? Do you help with cooking? Are you a partner in your family, or does your mom provide you with everything that you need to live so you can spend your time partying while she's at home, exhausted from cleaning up after you?
Every time you think your mom is being unfair with 'rules', step back and look in the mirrior, then think about who's really getting the short end of this deal.
A little effort to help her out will buy a lot of trust from her, if you're showing enough maturity to support yourself and the home you live in with her; do your own laundry, clean your own bathroom, clean up your own dishes...offer to do your mom's as well, and she might be impressed enough to give you some freedom.
