I share a pathetic small room with my younger sister. It is really small until one can only walk the perimeters of the room. In addition, i have to endure her super irritaing cough ever night. Of course, i can't sleep properly at all. If i ask my parents about my problems, i will be very selfish in the sense that i want to have the room to myself. But i desperately need my own peacefulness and privacy to concentrate on studies and own relaxation. I feel very vexed and irritated right now! Help please???

Well, I can say that I know what u r goin through. Almost..... I was the younger sibling and my brother and I had to share a room. I didnt have the annoying cough but just the annoying prescence of me being there irritated him. We even divided our rooms with temporary wall and that somewhat helped and studying was a lil out of the question. I always got in his way. It doesnt help to talk to your younger sibling because, lets face it..... I didnt even listen. Maybe try studying in study hall or go in the living room to study. Ask your parents politely to have her leave the room so u can catch up on your studying. That is not being selfish. Your parents arent good parents if they cant accomodate to each of their childs needs if it calls for it. They had these kids not u. Ask and u shall receive. No dont be rude but just say, " Hey mom. Do u mind if u can let lil sis or lil bro watch tv while I study or do home work for an hour???" That would be very helpful to me. I dont think u will get too much help with the sleeping arrangment though. But the study part I am sure they can help u. OH, the library is a wonderful place too.

No, it isn't selfish. How old are both of you? If there's a major age difference, then yes, you deserve your own space.
Maybe your sister needs to go to the doctor's to find out why she's coughing every night?! For one...
And until your parents reconsider your situation, during the evening hours, maybe have the room off limits to her so you can concentrate on your homework, study and relax. Then once it's time for bed, she can come back in the room?
Do you have another room in the house where she can play with her toys? Like a play room? I hope this works out for you.

Go to your parents in a very nice way and say that your sister is coughing every night and it wakes you up night after night. Tell them you are having a hard time consentrating on school work because you are tired. Ask them what can be done. Don't ask for the room to yourself, make it their problem and ask them for a solution. Ask them to please help you. If they are decent parents they will come up with you having the room to yourself on their own. Good luck, hon.

I think you needed to see a doctor form the Psycologist department, she's your sister.. or she may be sick..
Room maybe small but try to live with what you have, the smaller that makes you girls closer to each other..
On the other hand, what if you were to be her, and your sister was you instead (the other way round).. do you want your sister to chase you out, or do your sister want to get out some where and just leave you alone..
DO YOU THINK OF ALL THIS, ARE YOU A PERSON WHO DONT CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?????

Talk to your parents. If there is only one room for the two of you, maybe something can be worked out so you have some alone time in the room and she does too.

That's not selfish to want a room on your own. Everyone deserves some peace and quiet and privacy. Talk to your parents.

you should tell you parents how you feel they might understant you if you do. i remeber that i had to share a room with my little sister a few years ago. it helped me having my own room so i can consintrate. also my sister was a mess like a pig! so go for it and ask your parents say that you are old enogh to have your own room. i did and im 12

so what is the reason you have to share a room with her? if there is no other rooms available for you to sleep how do you expect them to give you a room of your own? if there is one then just come out and ask them if you could have that room.

i stay in a 2 mattress apartment yet saving to purchase a house because of the fact with having a toddler i choose a backyard and particularly greater room. you're fortunate to stay in a semi indifferent. my mothers and dads do and that i choose their homestead!!

well unless you're able to provide for yourself you don't have much of a choice, unless you're willing to give your sister the room & sleep elsewhere.. i don't think its a bad idea to talk to your parents just tell them how you feel.
