Don't worry mice do not attack people, they're timid little creatures.
At night put talcum powder down where you think the mice are then look for tracks in the morning. You will now know where to place traps or poison.

Get a large empty box and place it in the room where the mice are. Put cereal, mouse food, in the bottom of the box. Now stack books on the outside of the box to form steps that lead up to box top. The mice will smell the food, climb the books and jump in the box. Once they are in the box, since it is big, they can't get out. You can release them in the wild.
Hope this helps!

They're not going to bother you - they're after food and maybe water if it's dry around your area. You can sleep without worrying about it.
Yes, buy a trap tomorrow. A good bait is peanut butter - it doesn't come off easily and mice love it. The trap will kill the mice. Keep putting it out against the wall where you've seen them until you don't catch any more for over a week.

Keep something by the bottom of the door - like a rolled up towel to keep them out. They can get through tiny spaces, so jam it in tight!
If you don't have any animals in the house, use mouse traps & then throw them out into the dumpster - make sure that you keep ventilation in your room in case of the "hanta virus" - very lethal disease that will kill people if they are in a non-ventilated room - it is carried through the feces (poop).
Have your parents call an exterminator - that is the best & fastest way to take care of the infestation.

Oh, my brother just made a mean suggestion, he was like, 'put mouse traps in a line in front of your bedroom door.'
Don't do that, most likely you want a live trap.
They wont bother you, I'm sure.
Spray vinegar in front of your bedroom door, till you can get some live trap or sticky traps or something.

I love mice :) Good luck and I hope you become good friends. If I were you I'd buy supplies at the store.

you need to get these sticky pad mousetraps that get the mice's feet stuck to it. and in the morning you put them in a bag and throw them out.
