Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Most teenagers go trick-or-treating by themselves. I haven't gone with parents for about three years now.
Sure, teens are going to play pranks on people, but most are harmless. As long as your promise not to burn down anything or injure people (and actually follow through with it!!!), there's really no reason why your mom shouldn't trust you. Offer to bring a cellphone and call her every half hour or something :]
You say you already do chores? Do them without any complaining. Already clean the bathroom? CLean the kitchen too without being asked. Little stiff like that. :]

Maybe have your friends come over someday to your house and explain to your mom exactly where you're going, give them their numbers so she can call you and all of your friends to check up on you guys ( so she won't be worried ), and just let her know where you guys are all going and what time you'll be back and whatnot.
Also just talk to her about why she doesn't trust you enough to go somewhere ; is it because of something you previously did that made her lose trust in you? And ask her what you can do to make her understand you can be trusted and it's only running around with a few friends, getting some candy and she could call you any time she needs to to check up on you and see how you're doing.
I hope I helped.

A consistently good attitude and no back-talking is a great start. Listening and communicating that you understand the rules is good, too. When you do the chores, do you need to be reminded or do you do them automatically? These will all win points, and after keeping it up for a while, approach your mom in a non-whiny or demanding way and tell her you are ready to prove yourself.
