Question:the 2nd floor rooms are very hot in summer.
Answers:
Insulate the attic with thick blown-in or batting fiberglass.
Re-shingle the roof with lighter-color shingles, dark shingles absorb more heat, light ones reflect more heat.
Plant trees on the south side of the home to shade from the sun. Use a local tree that grows quickly and has a large canopy. It won't help you now, but in a few years.
Install a radiant barrier in your attic
