In two rooms that share a wall, each light switch will not turn on ceiling lights and the outlet on the shared wall does not work. What could be the problem?

It sounds like the lights and receptacle are on the same circuit which could be tripped. A circuit can be tripped at:
* the breaker
* a GFCI receptacle
* an AFCI receptacle
Check to make sure that no other receptacles are tripped that could be AFCI or GFCI. This receptacle could be the one feeding power to your circuit.
If you don't know how, have someone with knowledge of circuit breakers check your electrical panel to make sure the breaker is not tripped.
It is possible that someone wired another switch upstream of the devices you mentioned. If so you could check this by turning on the light switches for the ceiling light and turning on other switches.
If all this reveals nothing the something else has opened the circuit and it would be time to call an electrican.
In 2 rooms and a hallway and front porch apparently are all connected to a wall outlet in the living room that is an end, another words it only has 1 white wire, 1 black wire and the ground. I have the white wire connected on the same side as the ground and the black on the other. No matter what I try I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions?
