my family moved a lot when I was younger... I had my own room up until age 16... then we moved to a very small house while our new (and perminent) house was being built. I not only shared a room with my sister... but we had to share a bed aswell. for an entire year.
yea. so a 16 year old and a 13 year old sharing a room and sharing a bed. now that sucked. lol

so yes... tthink of it this way...your situation could be worse...
atleast you have a roof over your head... look at it that way... your luckier then about 100 MILLION people!! (yes. that many people are actually homeless.)

also. learn to deal with your sisters loud and annoying tendencies...it'll shape your character and do you good in the long run...

Yes I think you should have your own room but if you do not have the room in your house then I guess you can not. It is your mom's choice but yes I think you are old enough to have some privacy and she needs to look at that.

I got my own room only when my older sister went to college... But then she had to share a room with me every time she came back to visit. Now that I think about it, at that age, I didn't NEED the privacy absolutely... but I think developmentally you do need so privacy so you can feel how it feels to be the master of your own thoughts for a bit. My family has no concept of privacy though so they just barge in even if you're stark naked. So I locked the door. Which they unlocked and THEN barged in. So I taped the outside of the door handle. And then I at least had enough time to hear them rattle the door knob so that if I was doing something a little risque I could put it away and then unlock the door for them. All in all I took my privacy if they didn't give it to me, which is what I do nowadays with my freedom since they won't give me that either. (And I'm not a teenager anymore. and I'm in college.)
I would see if there was somewhere else for guests to sleep. If there's no other room for guests, you'll have to put up with your sis, but maybe you could find a way to take your own privacy?

I had to share a room up until I was about 14/15
then again when I was 17 when my older sister moved back in for the first time(the second time she had to sleep in the living room).
The fact of the matter is not that you just should have one because you want 1, but whether your parents can afford a house that will allow you to have your own room. Yes it is annoying, especially with a sister who talks in her sleeps, snores, then who cried when you tried to wake her up(note she was 8 at the time, so it just made you want to bash her teeth in, she was too old to start crying like a baby when you woke her up or who'ld have to wear night underwear*fricken big dipers is all that was* forgot to take them out when she p*sed in them, so I'ld get in trouble when the room smelled bad). But I had to deal with it because my mother step father couldn't affored anything better at the time. I had some peace when she'ld stay the night at some friend's house I when I went to visit my father or some friends. Perhaps that's what you can do, spend a few nights at a friend's house. Or another thing you can do is put up a room divider or a curtain in the room. I couldn't, the room was too small.
But whatever the case, hey, someone somewhere out there has it worse. Try sharing a room with 4 sisters, or not having a room at all, rather having to sleep in the living room or outside on the streets.
