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.
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.

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??
