Sorry about your dad honey, it must be tough for you.
I am a firm believer in "what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger". And I really believe that what you’re going through at the moment is going to make you one hell of a strong person! You will be amazing in years to come, trust me! The fact that you are entering a beauty contest means that you will be beautiful into the bargain, so you are in a win win situation!
Stay strong honey, please don’t upset your mother by telling her you are ashamed of your home, she probably feels bad inside as it is. You clean as much as you wish and ignore your stupid neighbours. Your friends will be your friends no matter where you live, if they change towards you, they were never your friends in the first place and you are better off without them!
Can I just add that if you are feeling depressed, please speak to somebody as it may be mixed sadness coming from your dad that is being confused as feelings about your house, or a bit of both. Don’t be sad honey, speak to a doctor and even getting things off your chest might make you feel a bit better.
Good luck babe;-)
How about you discuss this with your Mum, and talk about spring cleaning the house? l am pretty sure your Mum feels the same way, but helping with your Mum to clean it would be a good start. You clean up your room on your own, that’d be fair, and l am not ashamed of my house, but l am ashamed to live in a ‘flat’. Although, it’s a roof under our heads, so l’m not complaining.

I can’t really help you on the first three questions, because I am in a similar situation. I am ashamed of my house, because it is tiny, old, and just plain crappy. I know I’m going to get thumbs down for this, but idc. I never invite people over to my house or to pick me up.=/
No, I don’t feel ashamed. I guess it’s big, but I really love it.=] Every summer, my family goes on vacation to New York, and we stay with my grand-mother in this small apartment. When I come home, I’m like, "Woah, this place is big." My house is just really home-y.
1.) What should I do?
Maybe get a job to help out? Honestly, you at least have a house, a lot of people don’t. Try cleaning it, or something?
2.) How should I approach my Mom about this?
I honestly don’t think you should. It’ll put so much stress on her!
3.) Should I clean on my own?
Yes, if it’s that important to you.
4.) Do you ever feel ashamed of your house?
Never. Once, some guy who lives near me found out where I live, and said, "Oh yeah, her house isn’t nice." Psh, it is. Even my friends agree. =D It doesn’t look like it could be on magazines, but it’s a place where you’d WANT to live.
1) you can try to make your room really cool, it may be small but that dosent mean it cant be fun! I live in a small apartment and I love my room.
2) I dont think you should approach your mom, if moneys short theres nothing she can do about it, its not her fault that she went through a tradgedy
3) yea!
4) I used to, until I realized my mom does the best she can, I should enjoy what I have, other people have so much less
1. Be really thankful you are living in a house and are not a homeless person.
2. Ask your mom if she would like your help in sorting and storing the clothes, or in putting excess furniture in some of the upstairs rooms.
3. Cleaning on your own is a good thing.
4. No, because I knew my Mom was doing the best she could to provide me with a home.
Although you didn’t ask, see about getting a lawn-mower to trim your yard. If the yard is full of "junk," devote an hour a day to removing the junk to trash cans and soon the appearance will be much better.
If your friends look down on you because of where you live, they aren’t friends. You deserve to be liked for who you are, not what you have.
My sympathy for the loss of your Dad. God comfort you and your Mom.
1. You might want to talk to your Mum about all cleaning up a bit.
2. Just be like Mum I think the house could use a bit of a tidy up.
3. If no one else is willing to clean.
4. No and my house is no palace either, it’s fine for me though.
