I am sharing a room with my younger, 13 year old, brother. DUH!!! I'm a teenager with a life, I can't share a room with my little brother. I really need some help here. Being a female i need my own freekin space. But no matter what I do to make the room look presentable, he messes it up and NEVER cleans up. My parents let him by without any punishment. They may tell him that he needs to clean it, but they never put any disapline into action. What in the hell am I supposed to do?

Clean it yourself and stop complaining because obviously it done you no good if they do not discipline hI'm im willing to bet they don't you either and that's why you would think its OK to be a teenager and swear

Well, if you can't really move out or get another room it can't be helped. Why don't you put a curtain or something in the middle of the room and say he can do whatever he wants with his half while you keep your half nice and need and decorate it however you want to. Just keep the one room seperated into two parts so you two can both do what you each want to do in your own part of the room. Then if it gets messy you can complain saying you have to step out the door but this big junk of trash from your brother is too messy to walk through. Well, truthfully it doesn't matter if he gets punishment or not, you just want your own space so find a way to get it. Also, your parents will probably eventually get tired of this and somehow deal with it more seriously, but sharing a room and a room being a mess isn't really a big problem to your parents because they need things they need to do that is more important than this. So you have to find a way to figure this out on your own.

When you clean your room, just put all of his stuff on his bed. He will have to do something with it before he can go to sleep. If he dumps it back on the floor again, at least it will be near his bed. Just leave it there. Eventually your parents will get tired of this and make him clean it up. Just make sure you keep your things put away. And I agree that you need your own space. It is not fair for you to be sharing your room with your brother, but then, life is not fair. Ask your parents to get you a room divider. That might help to give you some privacy.

Is there another room that you can move out to? You need to discuss with your parents that you can not live in that room with your brother and tell them the reasons why. Until you can make them see your point of view, make a line in the room and he can't cross it, at least your side will be clean.

it's against the law for both members of the opposite sex to share a room especially from the same family eg: bro and sis...this law came out many years ago...you are older than him...you need space...ask you parents to sort it out because it's doing your head in....i had to share a room with my sister for best part of my life and i hated it..she was a scruffy cow too....you need your space...and get that lazy little git to clean up after him...find another room to stay in, thats if you have another room....even if it's a junk room, clear it out...move your bed and things and get a lock put on the inside so the bro cant invade your space

Ok, others may have great words of wisdom, but I say "get nasty". Your parents arent helping and the truth is, there may not be another room, you dont say. But you need some help because you are a teen who needs a little space.
I say leave your girlie unmentionables around the room. Undies, bras, kotex (yeah, I said it...sorry). It will probably gross out your brother to the point that he will ask to be moved out of the room!

make a rule urself that he is not supposed to touch any of ur things...and if he does u will have to scold him..since he is the second child in ur perents view he is still young though he is 18...and may be u can say ur parents that its time that they give u a room for u alone...and its time that he must be sent to another...

They are wrong by not saying anything to him about discipline and cleanliness. Talk to them, tell them they should advise him. Talk to him yourself too. If they don't do anything about it, then I'm sorry to say that your parents have spoiled your brother and probably prefer him over you. That is very unlikable.
