1. put unwanted stuff in bins and store them in a convient place where you can always access them but yet not have them in your way.
2. I would just say throw away all the junk you have in your room...stuff thats keeping your life a mess, thats what i always do. but of course you needa bed to sleep in. an alam clock or your cell phone to wake you up in the morings. a desk to actually do your homework at. it doesnt hurt to have a tv in your room, nor a stero. you can put your makeup in the bathroom.... if you dont want some of the stuff in your room haul it out, have a yard sale, take it to good will or something
3. just throw it all away or sell it if you don't use it!!!!
4. I'm having the same problem, hahaha! What I have is a very very colorful room. I read your question from earlier saying your walls cannot be painted. Easy... Just use color to decorate your walls. You can buy also colored sheets and pillows. Target right now has some good prices for dorm type decor and stuff. I'd check there first and get ideas. Also, I trashed alot of my junk I didn't need. Most stuff us teens have can't be reusable hahaah. Try IKEA if there is one by you. They have good storage and accessories. Good luck!!
5. Just the teen and the bed.
6. You can keep everything just organize them:-))))
7. Keep anything that you just can't part with and put them in storage. You shouldn't keep everything....if you can even maybe see yourself being parted with it....by all means part with it! Anything you decide to get rid of that is in descent shape...I would donate to good will. Keep only the main things needed to do the list you made. And make an area for each of those things.
8. Start with three large boxes. One for your favourite stuff that must be somewhere close at hand in your room, one for .. well I like this not sure what to do with it stuff (you can store this in the garage/attic and one for time to go stuff... if its in good condition take it to a charity shop and think how somone who wants it is going to make use of it and how you will be benefiting the charity and it hasn't cost you anything!
9. keep the stuff you KNOW you will need. the stuff you wont need you need to sell. get a desk for all your school stuff and so you could do your homework on it. put shelves in your room to put stuff on it. be sure not to clutter.
10. I'd say at least one big image say 40 by 60 inches, may be a painting or just a pic, but got to be a well focused one
