How to deal with low self esteem?

I have low self esteem and because of this low confidence. I'm not good at socializing as a result, and my mother is convinced I'm anti social. I have a reasonably good attitude, i dont do drugs, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm a virgin and 16. My parents seem to be convinced my life is headed in the wrong direction all because I stay up late and sleep in late. I have body issues and my mum is always calling me fat.

How can I deal with this? I've been feeling really depressed lately.

    You are only 16. The way you are feeling now won't matter is 20 years, focus on school, get good marks/grades. Go to college. Keep busy, and always do something. Don't worry about what people think about you. It's not their thoughts that will make you successful in life, it's your own. If you do the things that you need to do first, then all the things you want will start to appear. Its sort of magical lol. Good luck and i wish you the best in life. :)
