Ok, this is going to be a hard sell to any parent, but lets try to break this down in a way that will make your mom more comfortable. First, let your mother meet everyone you intend to invite to the party. Anyone that she doesnt like may need to take one for the team, but if she becomes to inflexible, you have to remind her that she MAY NOT CHOOSE your friends for you. Second, make sure that all the parents that can be involved, are involved. Your mom may serve as head of the guard, if it will suit her better. The more parents, the more at ease she is likely to feel. Third, make sure that the guys' and girls' tents are a respectable distance apart. Talking maybe twenty feet, if it is possible, that is twenty feet from the start of one tent to the start of another. Fourth, be as responsible as humanly possible until it is time for the party, one slip can sink the entire plan, finished and agreed on or not. And fifth, remind her that this is a learning experience for you and your friends. This is not a trip so that you kids can get it on. All that being said, some parents are so inflexible that it is a wonder they havent broken from tension. Letting your mother be active in this event will show her that you are committed to being a good little girl, and capable of earning her trust. If she doesn't allow it, then she may have flexablity issues, and may need to seek therapy, unless you have done something that proves you are untrustable. Anyway, good luck with the party. Email me if you need further help.

You need to act as responsibly as possible first of all. Make sure that you're showing her that you make good decisions and you can handle some responsibility.

Give her the phone numbers or e-mail addresses of the parents that are going on the trip. That way, she can talk to them and make sure that you will be well supervised. Maybe after talking to them she will feel a little more comfortable with you going. Just make sure she knows that you are responsible, and aren't going to cave into any peer pressure. Hopefully it works! Have fun camping!
