I really want to have a small party with just 10 or 15 friends for the start of High School. The only problem is, I don't know how to ask my mom to let me have it.
My dad is out of the picture, so asking him is not an option.
I've never actually thrown a party, but she knows that I'm responsible. I would pay for the entire thing, and I would clean up afterwards, but she's just not going for it.
Help!

Well u sound like a reasonable girl so just be honest wiv ur mum and if she doesnt buy it then tell her exactly wat u plan to do for the party and tell her how u have thought about it and have rooted out causes of potential harm or tragedy also sweeten the deal by telling your mum that uve invited friends she likes and that they have agreed to help make sure the party goes swimmingly and tell her the other people u hav invited are trustworthy and also the help a bit trie to invite less people so it doesnt sound too daunting for your mum. good luck lol

This is a tough one to answer unless we actually know who your mom is it would be really hard to answer this question. I found doing extra chores and asking my parent what i would have to do to earn the party to work the best actually since you only have a mom she is probably not going to go out anytime soon unless she has a new bf you get them to go out for a while while you have the party oh yeah you might have to shoot for less people 10 to 15 and your going to be a freshman Iam guessing its a very slim chance that is going to happen try 5 or 6 once you have done this then maybe your mom will let you have a bigger party. Good luck

Your intentions might be good, but few parents would allow what you are asking. Try making a compromise with her - instead of a "party" - what if it was an outdoor barbeque with some games and activities? Maybe you camp outside in tents for a night ... think of other possibilities that your mother might be OK with.

Get another responsible teen that your mom trusts to host it with you.
Do it on the weekend when she's home to chaperone.
Find another adult to chaperone the party if she can't be there.
Go in with an organized plan: what time, where, how long, who will be there, set up, clean up, etc.
The more info she has, the better.

1. (easy, cheap way) All you need is a rope, some duck tape and chair. You plan your party and 15 min. before your guests arrive, you tie your mother, you stick some duck tape on her mouth and there you go.
2. (expensive way) You organise a romantic diner for your mother and father/stepfather/boyfriend in a fancy restaurant, you ask the chef if he wants to keep your parents there 'till 2 pm, and you "accidently" drop 100 dollar/euro/... and there you go

Buy your mom a a full day spa package and throw your party during that time. Or sedate her so bad she won't know what's going on.
