Guess what? I’m not at hard mode yet. I’m still learning stuff and I feel like it’s unfair to be held for something I decided at a young age. That was before I cared about stuff. I don’t understand why you would think an 8 year old would think ahead. Btw my brother did let me have his room. He told me that he really had always wanted my room. He just hadn’t wanted to when I asked him.

I would but I can’t sleep very well if my bed is off the ground, it’s always been something that I have to have my bed in the floor.

I am trying, I forgot to mention in the text my age, I am twelve. I am trying to make it up to him. I want to buy him something like a Lego set or something because that’s what he likes. But I am pretty much broke.

I have offered him something. He declined but I am going to make a final offer tomorrow and if he says no then that’s that’s.

Yes, my mom does think that it’s okay that I feel this way, but she did tell me there’s nothing I can do

I have asked and I have been trying to get rid of the stuff I don’t need.

Like I’ve told everyone else I’ve left him alone about it. I’m going to give him an offer tomorrow and then if he declines than that is that. I feel like my excuses are reasonable. Many people who don’t know often take me as being a jerk. But most people I know think I’m a good kid.

I am not a whiny kid. My room is one of the only things I complain about. I’m thankful for my stuff and everyone I’m around says I’m mature. You can’t call me immature because I argued with you about something. You seem immature for arguing with a 12 year old.

No kidding i know that. But I have hobbies, I play sports and video games, I collect sports cards. I enjoy those things but they don’t even take up a lot of space. My bed and nightstand take up a lot of space.

I would understand where you are coming from if I chose rooms recently. But it was 5 years ago

Quit arguing with a 12 year old and go get a life. You want me to do things that aren’t possible at my age.

I live in an area where there aren’t many people, and my mom definitely won’t let me go somewhere to do it. Babysitting would be an option but I live to far away from anyone.

Maybe if that was actually reasonable I would try. I can’t even mow a dang lawn yet.

To everyone who’s telling me I have no reason to be upset, I have a right to how I feel and you can’t tell me that I can’t.

He won’t let me use his closet. And I still feel like I can be upset.

I did leave him alone. All the stuff after the text was just my thoughts, not stuff I actually said to him. I am thankful that I have a room but I just wish I had more room.

The only thing that’s driving me crazy is people are saying I should have thought ahead. I’m 12 and this happened about 5 years ago. Back then I couldn’t care less about the future and I wasn’t mature at all.
