Have your mom read this http://www.fraserinstitute.org/COMMERCE.WEB/publication_details.aspx?pubID=4932 and maybe some things from here http://www.hslda.org/research/ray2003/default.asp.

Also, find homeschool groups in your area and put together of list of activities they do, as well as social activities outside that you could do.

Here is a book your mom might want to read
"Homeschooling: A Path Rediscovered for Socialization, Education, and Family"

ive just started to be homechooled last year, i was afraid of being of a social zero, but im not. im noticed im more social then when i was at school (and i can tell u i was VERY social at school)
u get to meet heaps of people as well thro homeschooling. the trick is to stay in touch with ur friends. ther is really no way to force ur parents, just show them the benefiets of homeschooling. some schools will let homeschoolers come to school for a few classes during the week. so basicly, research!
