I really want my own room and my sister (twin) takes up most of the space I really want a space to chill went I don’t feel good and as ikm growing and I want it even more

Soso answered

Okay, so wanting your own space, especially when you're growing up and don't feel great, makes a lot of sense. Your body and feelings are changing a lot right now, and having a private spot can really help you feel comfortable.

When you're getting your period or just going through puberty, sometimes you want to just chill by yourself. Maybe you have cramps and need to lie down, or your moods are all over the place and you just want to be alone for a bit. Having a space where you can feel secure and not have to share everything is actually pretty important for feeling good.

Talk to your grown-ups about how you're feeling and why this space is so important to you. Explain that as you're getting older, and your body is changing, you sometimes need alone time to feel okay. Maybe you can brainstorm ideas together, like dividing the room differently, or having certain times when the room is all yours. Having a safe and comfy place to retreat to when you don't feel great is a big deal for everyone, but especially for us as we're learning about our cycles and bodies.
