Convincing my mom to let me sleep over at my best guy friends house?

Just tell her the truth of what is going on. Make sure you are very detailed in telling her who is there and what is going on. Maybe give her the number of the parents who are supervising.

Just be upfront and have all details ready for her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
