My mom won't let me have a sleepover if she's not there. She trusts me and I do babysitting, so it shouldn't be a problem. She likes my friends and trusts them, too. How do I convince her to let me have one??

Continue to be trustworthy. When she feels you're ready, she'll say okay.
Personally, I'd NEVER let my under 21 kid have a sleepover when I'm not there. Even if I trust my kid. Who says the party won't get really wild? How about boys? Who's going to keep them from doing what they want and spending the night. Drinking, drugs? Uh-uh. Not on my watch. And my kids won't be attending any of those parties at other peoples' houses, either.
Sorry sweetie,
While my kids are in my house, I'm going to protect them every way I know how.

I know it's not fun, but your mom is being smart. If something were to happen (anything from sex, drugs, alcohol, to falling down the stairs), she would be liable for it, and in trouble since she wasn't supervising you and your friends. Even the most well behaved teenagers come up with stupid ideas sometimes, and she doesn't want to face consequences of it.
If you are bored and lonely when she isn't home, ask your mom if just one other girl can sleep over. Two girls are a lot less likely to get into trouble than a whole bunch. If she doesn't go for that either, ask to sleep over another friend's house. It won't be the same as having a party without parents, but at least you won't be bored and alone.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

You shouldn't have one without her there. And what about the other girls? Would their parents let them come without adult supervision?
