You could take Speech classes. They are offered at most schools, and if not at your school, you could ask your doctor for places to go. There are also many books out there to "defeat" your lisp, you might want to check a few of those out.
But always remember, you should accept who you are, including your lisp. Its nothing to be ashamed about.

Speech therapy. I myself had a bad lisp and stuttering problem until I was 8 yrs old. The school arranged for a speech therapist to come in once a week to help me with exercises to correct this. It took most of the school year to completely correct my problems, but I haven't lisped or stuttered since then.
Lisping is actually easier to correct than stuttering, because lisping is only caused by the incorrect way you hold your tongue as you speak. Stuttering is caused by a previous mental trauma, and your brain has to be trained out of reacting by stuttering to anxious situations.

I roll my r's and l's. So does my hubby.... Okay, is your jaw crooked or anything? Some physical birth defects can alter one's ability to speak without unusual sounds regardless of visits to a speech therapist.
A speech therapist could help, but what might work better since you're aware and want to change it, is to listen to someone whose speech patterns you admire and practice it at home. Practice enunciating. Take the time to try out how you would like to sound.
It's not unusual to have a small lisp anyway, and can be cute. Just my opinion.

Look into speech therapy. A professional can best determine what steps you need to take to correct your lisp.

What works for stuttering is trying to immitate a different accent, thats how Bruce Willis stopped stuttering, so maybe it will work on lisps?

Put some smooth pebbles in your mouth and go orate to the ocean. It worked for Demosthenes.
