Hi! My (now ex) bf bought me schedule 1 a couple months ago, and now I want to gift ANOTHER COPY to my best friend. The "add to cart" button is not there. What do I do?

Okay so I'm 16. That is very important to the story.

I grew up most of my life living in a hoarder house. We had roaches and mice and ants but never bedbugs. A year and a half ago we finally move out of the house and we only bring a few pieces of furniture with us. I believe it was two chairs, a mattress, and my dad's dresser. We checked everything thoroughly to make sure we didn't bring anything over. This included our clothes and everything else as well.

Well two months after we moved my mom bought a mattress off Facebook marketplace. It looked clean, and unless the bugs were inside (although I doubt it because there was no stains) there was no sign of bugs.

I started seeing bugs pop up in December 2024 and I thought they were just roaches. Until I got fed up in February 2025, took a photo of one with Google lens, and found out it was a bedbug.

I freaked the hell out, ran to tell my mom, checked my mattress. It was all over the seams. I washed my two comfort blankets I wanted to keep (on the highest heat setting) and threw out my comforter and mattress. (the pillowcases and other blankets got washed later). I slept on the couch for 3 weeks waiting on a new mattress. Got the new mattress.

It's now been over a year with bedbugs we can't get rid of, we don't know where they came from, they're in every room of the apartment, and we don't have money for a proper treatment. I don't know what to do I'm so tired of having to triple check my clothes and my backpack every morning before school. I'm embarrassed I can't bring friends home. I hate that I can only take pictures in certain areas of the apartment. It's just like the old house and I don't know what to do I don't want to live like this anymore but nothing we've ever tried has helped.
