Currently, I'm 16. When (if I can) I go to prom, I'll be 17.
Let me start off with saying I have VERY strict parents. To give you an idea of how strict my parents are on me, I'll give you a few rules that they have on me:
-I can't spend the night at ANYONE'S (besides family) house. I never have.
-I can't let anyone besides family ride in my car.
-I can't go to any friends' house.
-I can't ride in anyone else's car besides family.
I want to go to prom with my boyfriend this year (it's his senior prom, I'm just a junior). Nothing mischievous is going to happen between us that night. No drinking, drugs, sex, etc.
Regardless, my parents don't seem to be very trusting of he and I. I'm not sure why since we've never done anything to break their trust. NOTHING. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year, so they've been able to get to know him.
Now you can imagine how strict they are on me. How would I ask them about going to prom? I prefer to approach my mom first and then let her talk to my dad about it. I need to find out if I can very soon so I can start dress shopping. (link)

The only thing that I can tell you is probably something that you've already done. Approach your mom and tell her exactly what you're telling us. Just let her know that prom means a lot to you, and there isn't going to be any sex, drugs, alcohol, or anything like that, it' going to be a dance with your boyfriend and that's it. Prom is something that you're going to want to look back on and reflect on in the future. Tell her. Let her know that it's important to you that she trusts you and your boyfriend and just ask her to listen to everything that you have to say before she answers. Good luck, I hope your parents let you go. :/
