Bargain. Bargain. Bargain. All things in life have something to do with the age old saying... I scrath your back, you scatch mine..
Or you could just try to get good grades, and do well.. and depending on your question... so long as it's for your better good... And not something that she feels will land you in trouble, or something that may get you hurt, she should be ok with it...

It definitely depends on what it is. If it's dangerous, harmful to yourself or someone else, and/or illegal, I'm pretty sure you won't get her to say yes at all.
Please specify.

Okay, I just read your additional details.
What I would say to do is SHOW her the difference in your grades. If you have the evidence available, that is. You're home schooled? Is it your mom that teaches you? If so, she should be well aware of your grade standing.
Put some time into this if it's something really important to you. Make a list of pros and cons for each. You will have to use some serious persuasion if she's still stuck on your being home schooled.
Is there a reason you're home schooled as opposed to going to online school? That reason may self-refute your request.

Depends on what it is. If it goes against something she believes strongly in, you probably have a better chance of seeing God than getting her to agree.
What you can do is present your case for why she should say yes. (And because it would make you happy, is NOT a compelling arguement!) For example: if you want to get a job, and she think it'll interfere with your schoolwork. Your case would be: 1. it would teach you responsibility. 2. you would work with your boss to schedule you for times when you don't have exams or a big project due. 3. you wouldn't ask her for money as often.
The more realistic your case is and the more evidence you have to prove your point without throwing a hissy fit, the better chance you have of success.
Good luck.

I am a mom and personally, I think it depends on what my daughter or son is asking me for. If its something rational, all she has to do is ask and discuss with me without acting crazy but if its something outlandish, she may still have a talk with me and ask me but she has to know I do have the right to say no. If you think it is something that you have always wanted or need and there may be a chance your mom will say no, here's a tip. Think it over. Do you really want it? If the answer is yes, make a list of why you think your mom should say yes to you. If you talk it out with her, more than likely she will agree with you coz she knows that you have put thoughts in it and she will appreciate it more. However, be prepared for a rejection coz we can't expect a "yes" whenever we want something. Thats being real in life.. good luck!!

its nice to do those things but ifi were you i would go to public shool they are ok and it also teaches you to enteract with kids your own age and stuff you need to do this also. home schooling is fine to a point. try that and you maybe happier at school then you would think.

what is she saying yes to? clothes, going somewhere? you have to make sure the whole day goes smoothly, pick ur moment right on time, and ask in a way that's not asking example:
"hey mom"
"hi __"
"how was ur day?" (unless u don't usually ask that)
then u two will get into stuff and u will causually bring up how everyone has a juicy hoodie (or something) and then she'll be like, "do u want one or something like that?" or u'll be like, " i really want one!" "how much do they cost?" " IDK" and advertise ur subject

Show that you are worthy of her trust.
Have you been?
