my own room talk


Question Posted Wednesday July 29 2009, 12:02 pm

i share a room with my little sister right now. i am 13 which means i am a teen now and i need my own room. it would give me more privacy and some peace and quiet. i need someone to tell me how to ask my parents into letting me have my own room.

This question made me laugh when I saw it.

First off, just because you're 13 doesn't mean you need shit. You don't need your own room and you certainly don't deserve one just because of age. Having your own room is a privilege, just like riding the school bus, or having a snack before dinner. You don't NEED or DESERVE it. You cannot demand to have your own room.

If I had shared my room with my brother, and would've asked for my own room at 13, my parents would've laughed right in my face. Luckily, I've had my own room since birth & just started sharing a room about 6 months ago.

I guess you should just ask but as soon as you say you need one just because of age, I can almost guarantee you'll hear a NO.

wow i love this one i shared my room until i was 16 with my little sister the only reason i got my own room was because two of my sisters went away. you can talk to them if you guys have an extra room. tell them your ready to be your own self you need your privacy tell them to think about it dont cry or wine be mature maybe they reall will give you your own room.

First of all, is there a room for you to have?

then you have to think of all the good things about having a room. make a list. like it would give you peace and quiet, and even think of how it would help your parents (if you and your sister fight alot, you could tell them that you and your sister would be less likely to fight if you dont have the same room) just make a list of all the ways it would help you and the whole family and then tell them to your parents to support your arguement of getting a room.

if your parents still say no, respect their decision and dont make a giant deal about it, because if you can take them saying no, you will be more likely to get what you want in the future. Does that make sense??

I hope I helped and good luck. if you need any more help, feel free to ask me!
