Do not ask for a raise.
"Half a year," which I assume is approximately six months, is not an appropriate time-frame for a part-time employee to ask for a pay increase, it screams arrogance and entitlement. After you've spent a summer working full-time, you'll have put in sufficient hours for it to somewhat appropriate. A good employer typically has a schedule for pay increases, most often for a part-time employee that would be one year or for a full-time employee six months to a year. If you ask: unless you're very severely underpaid (and that would only be possible if you have skills ie. trades experiences), he'll most likely say no.
Do not text or email a boss unless you're at a management level yourself, always call.

I work at a paint store, and was hired last summer. I ended up putting stocks away at the store and was very worn out from it. I did a very good job of putting everything away fast and done right. Then I go help customers and contractors with their orders. I take out the garbages in the washrooms and out in the store every closing and sweep the floors.
My co-workers are starting to just leave stuff for me (taking advantage) even though it is their responsibility to put away stock and also clean.
I know I've been working for only 6 months, but I think I deserve it.

You're just doing your job, don't flatter yourself.
Given your job description, if you're making more than minimum wage consider yourself fortunate.
(I'm harsh, yes, but don't be offended, your employer will look at the situation through the same perspective. I've had many young guys work under my supervision in the past, so I'm familiar with this type of situation.)
