Well - first off quit telling yourself negative stuff all the time.

You have to realize that you do this because you've been hurt somehow - in the deep past. There's been some abuse which is now repressed and forgotten and denied. It lives on and makes you feel like crap. But you yourself are probably just fine and dandy.

Somehow you have to penetrate the past and understand what went on - that's what psychologists are for - the good ones anyway. They're lots of bad ones which don't even understand this.
 
Ok so I'm pretty sure that I have a very low self-esteem. I tell myself everyday that I am ugly but my girlfriend is always trying to tell me otherwise. I tell myself that I can't accomplish things. I tell myself that I'm not good enough for things and I actually stopped playing football even though everyone told me that I was amazing. I'm always saying to myself "your a failure and you don't deserve to live." any way how can I boost myself esteem
Also I'm 15 and I have a lot of friends
 
honey, first thing you need to do is stop telling yourself things like that . instead of verbally attacking yourself, find whats beautiful inside you . stand in the mirror & start telling yourself positive things about yourself . & no female likes an insecure man & vice versa . you obviously have a girlfriend for a reason . now you just need to see what she sees .
 
You may consider the theory that the brain mirrors the reality you Think You Perceive. So, if you Think you are Effective, Sucessful and Charming. And you Work towards achieving those goals, among others, such as Saving Money, being a Friend and Being Considerate then your brain may begin to mirror that and create that in your day to day life. It's an idea. Good luck and Wish You Well.
