Real friends
If they are your true friends they won't care about where you live. They'll like you for you. When I met my best friend I lived in a tiny little studio apartment with my mom. It had roaches and was in a bad part of town. 15 years later and we are still best friends. Now me, my mom, him, and one of my other friends lives in a 3 bedroom apratment together. Bugs happen. Buy some Raid or other bug killer and spray. Everyone gets bugs sometimes. People should like you for who you are. Not from where you live or what you have. If they don't, they aren't worth your time.

No problem...
You got to look at it this way... it may not be as bad as you think. Maybe others think it's fine. Don't convince yourself that your house is ugly because maybe in other people's eyes it might be perfectly normal.

Be yourself
Listen it's ok to not live in a mansion. I've dealt with the same thing before. I used to live in a 3 bedroom apartment where I had to share a room. I was emmbaressed because my house (to me) seemed like a piece of trash. Well it turned out that my friends got comfotable in it and they began coming more and more and started to love it. Even though I have now moved into a bigger house with my own room my fiends still love that old apartment because of all the fun and memories we had there. If you take some time one weekend to fix up your house you might start to like it better. Get some sort of spray and stuff for the bug problem. Hang some home-made or store bought decorations up. I'm sure you will like it better and your parent/guardian will like the help. But who really cares what they think because in God's eyes everyone is all the same. Your friends and dates should care more about you then your house.

DON'T BE ASHAMED, THERE ARE WORSE THINGS TO BE ASHAMED OF
It's silly to hide away because of your house. Lots of people don't have homes, they'd be more than happy to swap with you.
Don't be afraid of what your friends will think, they are not nice people if they judge you. I bet their houses aren't perfect.
Be proud of your house. Be proud to be different.

Don't worry!
You shouldn't be so caught up in what your friends think. I have a rather small home myself and I have learned to love it! When my friends ask why my house is so small compared to theirs I just make a joke about it and laugh it off. Don't be ashamed and have fun with your friends!

Chin up
Dude, be proud of where you live. You can improve what you don't like! Do something about it. You have somewhere to live, which many people don't have. So think about that. You're blessed. Be happy. Chin up little soldier.

Don't worry about it!!
If it really means that much to you, try to talk to your parents about it. Get your house a new paint job, hire an exterminator, and get your room a makeover!! And I think if you date someone who judges you on your house, he doesn't deserve you.

I had that same problem..
but i learned that if people judge me by my stuff then they aren't worth it. Love me for me not the things I own. True people who love and know you don't care if you are rich or not. And always remember to just be happy since you can't take any of your riches with you anyway.
