Please be serious I know how most people on Yahoo answers make jokes..

But yeah anyways, I am just about 16, and I have all these things about my physical self that bothers me and it is like all I think about most of the time.
Like I always look in the mirror and worry about my face because of all my imperfections that I cant stand and my weight which bothers me being 134, I can't help but to compare my self all the time to other girls and I also worry that my boyfriend will think I'm ugly. I pity on little things about me and I hate it...I will look in the mirror for a long time...
I guess I have low self esteem..
I dunno.

Get into volunteer work, maybe with elderly people. You need to get out of your head. If you meet older people, you will learn something, and you will learn that other people have worse problems than you do. It will also raise your self esteem to know that you're helping others.

Sounds like you do have some self-esteem issues, but you are already aware that you are too hard on yourself, so reverse your thinking pattern to think of things which are positives about you.
If you have a boyfriend, he wants to be with YOU the complete package, not just your brain or your butt or your feet!
Men don't think the same as women, they see the black and white picture of life whereas a lot of women see the grey.
In other words, he either likes you or he doesn't..simple.
In addition, I don't know of a single woman who doesn't want to change something about herself. Even the "perfect" girls aren't 100% happy.
It really only became clear to me once i was out of my teens that everyone, no matter who they are have angst and pains about themselves and often just put up a facade.
Don't allow yourself to obsess about your appearance because that becomes a really ugly quality about a person, accept who you are and know that there is definitely someone for everyone.

The biggest problem here is that you seem to be obsessed with your physical imperfections. It's fairly common for teens to be disgruntled with their (relatively unfamiliar and hormonally bizarre) body as a way to channel general anxiety about life and growing up and all that.

This is something that can be helped a LOT by working with a cognitive behavioral therapist, who will also be able to make big difference with self esteem and depression.

Talk to your parents, school counselor, or anyone you think might be sympathetic to find one and get this stage of your life over with!

You have low self-esteem. I cannot tell if it is age-driven or personality-driven but you need to re-evaluate yourself in many ways. You need to start focusing on the beautiful aspects of your appearance and begin loving your short-comings and imperfections.
That is the only way people will accept you...only if you first accept yourself.

You may gain weight, you may get a couple of pimples every once in a while, you may have a very very terrible hair day but you know what? That will not change who you are and what a wonderful person you may be.

Remember focus on the positives.....its all a matter of perception.

if you have a boyfriend at all then he doesnt think you are ugly or he wouldnt hang around with you, no one ever likes the way they look, if you look at models and movie stars close up without all the make up and changes made to pictures through computer tricks you would find out how ugly some of them are. you are just fine. be yourself, and be the best you , that you can be.

Sister, you are made in the image of God. You are beautiful. Read Psalm 139 for more info.

If you feel sad all the time, mention it to your doctor next time you have an appointment. Your hormones may be out of whack, & that's fairly easy to fix. Tell your mom....she was your age once, and may have good insight for you. No, she won't think you're stupid.
