I took my Mum's razor and shaved them myself, and she didn't notice. Although this should only be done as a LAST resort, if you get really desperate then that's what you should do too.
Firstly, I would tell your Mom that everyone else shaves and maybe you should say that there are some girls teasing you because of it. This will make her feel guilty (because no one wants their daughter to be bullied!) and then she should let you.
If this doesn't work, you could go and buy some hair-removing cream yourself. Cheap ones are only about $2 and they work pretty well.
Good luck!
