Sit down with your mother and explain how disruptive your brother has been. Tell her you need to concentrate on your homework and school activities and that it would really help if your brother cleaned up after himself, stayed out of your room and took over some of the chores. Hopefully, she will understand what you are going through and things will change for the better. If she doesn't understand, stop cleaning up after him!

Talk to your mom. I cant count how many times I talked to my mom when I wasnt happy about something and she helped. Tell her you really need to focus on school and the fact that he isnt helping out around the house at all is pushing you over the edge.
