If you've talked to them a ton of times, and they still said no, I'm going to assume that the talks weren't successful, calm or good. I'm going to assume that you got an attitude with them as soon as they said no, and then continued to whine like a child.
If that's the case, then of course they're going to tell you no. If they tell you no, and you act like a child - why shouldn't they treat you like one? When you talk to them, be calm & nice. Don't get an attitude when they tell you no. Just say "Okay." and go back to what you were doing.
If you want to prove to them that you're responsible enough to do things a teenager should do, then do so. Do your homework on time, question something when you don't understand it, do your chores without being asked, don't bug them for anything you don't really need. When they start to give you freedom, come back earlier than the time they give you by about 10 minutes. Call them to let them know you're alright & see if anything changes.
Respect their rules if nothing does change though. It will with time. I'm not sure if you're the only child, but I know that parents have a more difficult time with girls & freedom because boys aren't as fragile. Trust me, I'm 16 & there's things my parents still won't let me do. I hope everything works out. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem when i was your age. my dad did let me go to sleepovers tho...it tooks me a little while but i did everything posible to proove to them that i was growing up. I was always up on time i tried not to talk back, i got good grades, and they were really proud. i decided then i should talk to them again. They actually listened to me then. They got the message that i was growing up. It took a little more time after that.. im talking like a week or too later, and i was alowed to go to parties and stuff. It was really hard, because my parents were really strict about my cerfew, so i stuck with it. Even though i had to be home earlier my parents were grateful that i was making the right decisions, so they pretty much gave me full power.
So im pretty sure that all you need to do is really proove to them that your responsible enough to do other stuff..
hope this helps.. sorry it wasnt much stuff that you could do..
