First of all, assess the situation. If she just hates her mom, then take her mind off it. If her mom physically or mentall abuses her, then you need to get her help. Even if she doesn't understand at first, she will apreciate it in the long run. (I have experience, and my friend later told me that my getting her help was one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for her.)

When she says that she isn't pretty or whatever, make her list 10 good things about herself or 10 things she does especially well.

Always make her laugh and let her know how much she means to you. Once, I was having a bad day, and I got an email from my best friend just saying how much I mean to her and it completely turned my day around. Do random acts of kindness like that and they will go along way.

Last of all, get her out of the house. Once my friend and I hung out at the library because we both wanted to go somewhere else so badly.

You cant change who someone is just keep trying to make her feel better about herself. All you really can do is just be a friend to her and thats all. You and her go to like a movie or go have fun then when she brings it up just joke about it say "yeah i know life sucks but hey what ya gonna do" if she agrees just tell her the one thing thats gonna be good is you and her gonna grow old and fat together. Just try to make her laugh thats one thing you can always do. Hope iv helped a little write me back id love to hear how it turned out.

i know that this must be hard for you as it seems that you really care for your friend!
I have a friend and she dosen't get on with her mom to the point where her mam is telling her she is 'fat' (shes a size 6) and ugly (she was voted pretteyest girl in our cless)and it really gets her down.
As i know that there is nothing really i can do as i can't change how her mom acts i find that the best thng to do when she is unhappy or upset is just to be there for her and reassure her ... Hope that heLPS

sounds like my older sister.
my mom is making her take self esteem classes, maybe you can look up some in your area?

you could also just be a good friend and be there for her when she needs to cry or needs advice or whatever.
