Very low self-estem
uuhhhh! I hate feeling like this! OMG! When i look in the mirror sometimes i like what i see and sometimes i dont! I've tried and tried to love myself but its hard! There is always this little voice in my head telling me im ugly! I know im not ugly, but i feel ugly. People tell me how pretty i am, and it makes me feel good about myself. I dont ever believe adults when they say im beautiful cuz they just say that! but anyways is there anyway i can feel good about myself all the time and not sometimes? I want to love myself so bad but its hard for me!

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
All of the advice given is good and you should definitely consider everything.
I can give you a bit of additional advice that will help you in this and nearly every other aspect of your life.
Be as honest with yourself and everyone around you as possible. Do this while improving the skills you have and working to gain new skills. This is a lifelong process that brings great happiness on the way for you and the people that you'll meet. Be prepared to see no results for months and months before you begin to see benefits.
Get yourself some testing for autism related and other mental health issues. If you seriously have problems about feeling good about yourself and it isn't because you're dishonest all the time, you may have problems that are beyond your control without counseling and possibly being medicated.
Definitely look into 'Eating for Your Type', (do a search for it) and start by cutting out all of the 'bad' foods for your specific blood type. That will make sure that you're not having any mental issues magnified by food you shouldn't be eating.
Above all, have fun! Work to be the best that you can be at the skills you do best and try to gain one new skill each year!
Remember that happiness is not a destination or place you can get TO... it's the state of mind created as a byproduct of:
1) The quality of the goal you're reaching for
2) Your honesty in life and your relationships
3) The amount of effort you put into what you are reaching for
If you're not reaching for anything and not working to improve anything in your life, you're not going to be happy about much. Only when we are actively in pursuit and pushing our limits do we find the happiness that everyone is searching for in life.
-- Stay Honest

I know how you feel. Sometimes I like the way I look, sometimes I wanna stay home cause I think I look like a mess. I am a guy, but this stuff still bothers me. The thing I suggest is that you (and as stupid as this sounds) jsut try not to care. I know it is hard to do, but it is the best thing to do. I mean, a lot of the time I can't, and sometimes I just wanna stay home and be anti-social cause I think I look bad. But you just have to make yourself go, and just always try to think the best of yourself. I have a massively low self-esteem sometimes, and I know it sucks, but you just gotta fight it. When the little voice starts to get to you, just call up a friend and talk about things to keep your mind off it, or do something to keep your mind off of it. Hope this helps

Sweetie I feel the same way all the time. It is hard, especially when you look at other girls/boys who seem so confident 24/7. That little voice kills me every time too.
This works for me, so it may help you too:
-Look in the mirror for 10 minutes or so.
-As you're looking at yourself, try making a list of all the things you like about yourself
-And if you have a single negative thought, you have to stay there until you have at least 3 consecutive positive comments.
-Every time you do this, you can make the number of positive things higher and higher.
I'm not saying you should be totally conceited, of course. This is just so you can recognize how beautiful you are.
Remember honey: We all have our faults as people, but we also all have the things that make us beautiful. And you can't have one without the other.
