I know i am no supermodel, but i've learned to accept myself. Theres no sure way to boost your self esteem you just have to learn how to take yourself what you are.

Darling, you are beautiful!
Just tell yourself that every day in the mirror. Eventually you will start to really believe it and it will become part of your essence!
If you already have a modeling job then obviously you are even beautiful to the media's standards (which are pretty tough). Do NOT compare yourself to other girls. If all girls looked alike, what kind of boring place would planet earth be? Besides, they might compare themselves to you! Maybe they feel like they have a bad smile and they look at you and wish they hard your smile just as much as you wish you had (insert feature here) like them! So you see? Every girl will constantly compare herself to other girls, even though you shouldn't because frankly, it's just silly. Of course they look different, you're original!
As far as singing goes, I hate to be the one to say it but practice DOES make perfect! Keep practicing as much as you can and eventually you will feel confident in yourself and your song.
Sometimes insecurity is a psychological issue, however, and at that point (if it gets REALLY bad, which I'm sure it won't) you might want to seek professional help or medication. BUT you probably don't need to.
There are those days where a girl feels down, no matter how her outlook on life is. In that case, treat yourself to something nice - mani/pedi, hair cut, day out with the girlfriends - anything that will get your spirits up!
As far as losing weight goes - I warn you. Don't get too caught up in that. Yes it's good to eat healthy and exercise but NEVER skip meals because you feel like you need to. And don't starve yourself with little morsels every day. Eat three square meals a day, drink lots of water, cut out soda, exercise as much as you need to, and refer to the food pyramid often.
Just remember that you are the one and only you and you will be the only one to look and be you! And remember to tell yourself that same sentence every morning (and sometimes even at night if you have to)! Darling, you are beautiful!

Just think of it this way:
The adveradge girl your age isn't even a model.
Almost every teengage girl thinks she's 'ugly' and 'fat' when she realy isn't
The people you're comparing yourself to are probably comparing themselves to you
And plastic surgery often makes people look worse-not better.
Everyone has issues with their bodys- just dont let yours controll your life
I hope i made you feel better
