My Life My Privacy by Kaylee K.

Girls and boys who share a room do not have the privacy that people who don’t share a room have. They need their own space because if they don’t have it, then they can’t change freely in their own room without a brother or sister sitting right there in the same room. Also, people need their privacy so they feel more safe when people are in their rooms.

According to an article, Keren Perle states that  when people share a room they don’t have space that others have when they don’t share a room. For example, my brother is always in our room and his things are all over the room all the time and I don’t have a lot of space when hiss things are all over the place. This makes it feel as though I have no room.

According to the same article by Keren Perles, Children should have their own rooms because of privacy. When children share a room they don’t have the privacy they need. This means that they  have to change in the bathroom. For example, if my brother is in our room before me when we get home from school or practices, and he gets into our room before I do, then I have to change in the bathroom.

According to the same article, Children who don’t share a room feel safer in their rooms than people who do share a room feel. One reason to support my claim is because if people come over and you have to change in your room you feel a weird feeling because you think someone is going to walk in while you are changing.

Even though people may say that children should share a room so they become closer to each other, most of the time spent in the room is something quite like reading or doing homework and when children are doing that they aren’t really spending time because they are doing their own thing and minding their own business. If children are going into their room to just do homework it’s just like if your child were sitting in the living room right? Also if children go and sit in a room for a long time together children may end up arguing about something.

Children that share a room with a sibling have less privacy than people who don’t share a room have. Also, when children are not in the same room all the time then they argue less than when they are in the same room most of the day. So why don’t you change the room arrangements and let your child have his or her own room? Children shouldn’t have to share a room with siblings.
