    I live with my brother and he always makes the room messy. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Have a talk with your brother, tell him you're trying to keep the room clean, and ask him to make more of an effort. If he's unwilling to do that, ask him to at least keep the mess on his side of the room. If all else fails, ask your parents to talk to him.
