Volunteer at a hospital burn unit. Your problems will magically go away once you gain some perspective.

Take a look in the mirror, a really good look. And write down one thing you like about yourself. It may be "I have beautiful eyes" or, "My hair is gorgeous". Every morning look at yourself and recite that thing a couple of times, and after a while you'll find yourself happy while doing it.

What you need to do though is get a phyciatrist. Nobody on Yahoo Answers is going to be able to tell you what kind of treatments to get for your problems, everyone is different.

Though, you should tell a trusted adult about it, the one you find most understanding and ask for advice.

Another thing you can try is look at pictures of people who have diseases, ingeries etc. Like people with facial tumors, obeisity, or fire burns that have damaged their appearance. Think of how lucky you are to be in a possition where you get to decide how you look, and don't have to worry about dying or medical bills. You're an extremely lucky girl from what I hear and you just need to realize how lucky you are, in the world there are a lot of people jelous of you, that go's for everyone.

To take out anger of hitting yourself you should take of something like Kickboxing to take out your anger, it really helps.

Best of luck, xoxox.
