Answer
Before anyone can help with specifics, you need to have a theme or color scheme in mind. Since you do not, that should be your first priority. Some links to help with picking a theme for your room:
http://teensthemes.com/
http://www.raftertales.com/decorate/decor-themes/25-cool-teen-bedroom-themes/
http://www.digsdigs.com/60-cool-teen-bedroom-design-ideas/
http://www.hgtv.com/topics/teen-bedrooms/index.html
If you do not see anything that you like on one of these, then you can do a basic web search for "teen bedroom themes" and go from there.
What I would suggest that you do is to take a moment or two and make a list of your likes and dislikes style-wise, your two favorite colors, and the things that are important to you (family, friends, music, etc.). You'll also want to note whether you are a girly-girl, a tom-boy or somewhere in-between the two. These things can help you identify your style. Then it becomes a simple matter of finding a theme that incorporates a good portion of the things on your list. You may want to get started on this and get it finalized soon, so that the parents know what to get paint and bedding wise.
Some other sites that can help are:
For paint & color applications: www.sherwin-williams.com
Hip/trendy bedding & wall art: www.target.com (Seriously, look before you laugh - You will be surprised!)
Area rugs, lamps/lighting & decor items: www.ikea.com/us
Wall murals: www.greatbigcanvas.com
Finally, some advice that is more my personal opinion than fact:
Avoid hot pink or lime green and zebra print - It's overdone and you want to be unique, right?
A style/theme that is subdued and elegant is something that can evolve as you mature. Just because it's fashionable now doesn't mean it will be a year from now. Your aim should be something that grows with you. An easy one to pull off is black & white plus your favorite color for accent pieces or monochromatic (black, gray, white with one accent color): There are so many interesting black & white patterned bedding sets and many black & white photo posters available on-line and in stores that it is really easy to customize.
Be subtle/sedate with the color you choose for your walls. It is far easier to accent with neon-bright colors in accessories, decor items, bedding items etc (and easier on the eyes) than it would be to live and sleep in a screaming pink or hyper lime colored room.
Good luck, have fun and I hope that you end up with a great room!

Answer
James was a great help:) Ok so here we go. For small rooms it's great to use a light colors because it seems to open up a room. So keep the colors light. Too keep a room from getting too dark if you still want to use a darker color then have an accent wall with your bed against it. This will make it the focal point. Then you can paint the rest of it white so you have the best of both worlds; a light an airy room, and that dark color you wanted. Or you can have a white room with the accent color teal and something else if you want.Â
  I love the look of teal and coral together. I think color teal is the most beautiful color ever.. As of yesterday.. For right now.Â
  What's the point of having windows if they're gonna be closed all the time? Keep your windows open (the curtains at least) and let the light in. Having natural light in gives the room that great light and airy feeling.Â
  Another great reason to have natural lighting. This doesn't really have to do with anything, it's just a great tip. If you have good natural lighting then put your alarm clock near that lighting. The light is like your body's alarm clock so when your alarm clock goes off you will feel a lesser need to roll over and go back to sleep.Â
  No matter how big your room is you usually don't see people trying to make their room smaller. Another great way to keep your room open is to use multipurpose furniture. Things that have storage in them. Like an ottoman doubles as a foot rest and a storage place to keep books and other things. Make sure your night stands have storage space in them instead of using a stool.Â
  Designs: Since your room would most likely look tacky if you used all your favorite patterns on the walls, so try to incorporate them in your decor. You can have chevron, polka dots, and striped pillows and picture frames and things like that and it will still look fine.Â
 I'll give you all of the links that I found. Most of them have coral in them and some have teal in it and they look great together. If you end up loving it like I did then these will be helpful for redoing:Â
