You didn't need that many commas in your last statement. It depends is there enough rooms that you can have your own room? If so just tell your mom that you think it would be better that have place where you can be alone. You need your privacy.

Being a teenager does not make you THE QUEEN of the WORLD.
I am sure that there are circumstances that your Mom has a good reason not to give you a room for yourself.
Put yourself into someone else situation for once.
Not just I want, I hate, I'll get?!!! If and after you take a good look at the situation and if you do feel that there are extra rooms in the house. At that point talk to you MOM nicely and give her all the GOOOOOD reasons that why you you should have a room for yourself. You'll be surprise that even MOM does listen to reasons!!! All you need to do is communication.
Life is simple as you make it to be. You are lucky that you have a roof over your head and food on the table. Wait till you get out to the real world and then you'll learn how wonderful your parents are. Never too early to show your appreciation, NOW is the time. Count your blessing that you have a FAMILY. Treasure them!
When in doubt, take a walk in a cold night and visit the homeless.

Is there a room for you to have? I don't know if there is a room to spare. they may need it for grandma of something. It doesn't matter anyway, The grownups work their butts off and deserve to do what they want with the room. In a perfect world you should have one but the world isn't perfect. I think if you maintain your grades, wash dishes,all laundry,mow lawn, shovel snow. scrub bathtub,toilette, all floors, vac ***, watch younger sister, help out cooking, make lunches, kill the spiders and bugs,rake the leaves, do you have a pool? vacuum the pool, do you have a dog? Pick up the dog poop change the cat litter every day and maintain the upkeep of cleanliness, then heck yea you should have your own room. The cost of a roof over your head is about 1000 a month a person. Just for the roof. do you know how hard it is to supply you with that? Of course you don't mean to be spoiled, but gives thanks that you are. try not to forget those less fortunate.

I know what you are feeling. I had to share my room with a younger sister who is 6 years younger than I. Do you have room in your house to put your sister? I really don't think you will be able to change your mom's mind. I suggest that you push on the subject on needing your privacy at this time. All I can say is good luck.

My daughter wanted her own room for the longest time and she was sharing a room with her younger sister and baby brother, she finally got it because she showed me that she was responsible enough to take care of her room without me or my husband having to tell her to keep her room clean. I don't know what to tell you except show her that you are responsible enough to take care of your room.

First, is there room in your home available for you to have a room by yourself? If so, ask you mother, politely and logically of course. She was a girl once. She'll probably understand.
And you probably need more privacy as you get older. Nothing odd about that.

We had 2 bedrooms with 5 kids. So until your an adult you get your own home try to make it work. Your sister will become your best friend when your older anyways.

Express to your mom that you are a teenager and need your own space. You need somewhere where you can go and just be by yourself in solitude. Everyone needs that; especially teenage girls.
