I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling like that, but it's great that you're wanting to do something about it.
It could be depression, but I'm not a doctor so I can't really say either way.
The best thing you could to is talk to someone about how you're feeling. A school counsellor would be a great place to start. They can be really helpful, and though it might seem hard to talk about at first, it is definitely worth it.
You could also tell a trusted friend, parent, or other adult (like a teacher), and they may be able to help you find a professional to talk to.
You could also see your local doctor.
I hope you start feeling better soon, and I wish you all the best :)

Have recently sought help for depression myself.

While the picture of depression may differ from person to person, there are several common symptoms. Bridges To Recovery knows that most people who are depressed feel sadness, describing themselves as feeling "miserable", "empty" or "hopeless", and report getting little if any pleasure from anything. Many also experience anxiety, anger, or agitation. Depressed people lose the desire to engage in everyday activities, and may have to force themselves to go to school or work, to talk to friends, eat meals, or have sex. Beck (1967) described this state as a "paralysis of will". Some may experience suicidal thoughts as a way of ultimately escaping their pain. They have lost the will to live, or see ending their lives as the only solution to their troubles.
Depressed people are usually less active and productive. They spend more time alone and may stay in bed for long periods. Insomnia, trouble falling asleep, or early wakening are common symptoms. Some experience hypersomnia, and feel that they can't get enough sleep, sometimes sleeping most of the day. People with depression may move and speak more slowly, with a lack of energy.
Finally, depressed people hold extremely negative views of themselves and their world, usually convinced that they will never improve and are helpless to change anything. They often feel that their intellectual abilities are poor; they feel confused, unable to remember things; they are easily distracted, and have difficulty solving even small problems. They may experience physical symptoms, such as increased headaches, indigestion, constipation, dizziness, muscle pain, and a change in appetite.

I felt a really similar way at your age - mine was more social based than looks based, but still. I moped around feeling sorry for myself for almost two years until I decided enough was enough.
So I dragged myself out of it. Refused to listen to the same old sad songs, joined a new drama group, and just tried to distract myself from the stuff about my life that was making me depressed.
But I wish I hadn't wasted so much time being miserable.
As much as I refused to do this at the time, I think it may have been a good idea to see a counselor. And that might be the right move for you too.
It can be such a wonderful time of life - don't allow yourself to be pulled under.
Good luck

Im fifteen aswell and i sometimes have times where i have really low self esteem. I just feel worthless. What i tend to do is motivate myself and keep telling myself that it doesn't matter how you look or what people think of you. I you say 'it doesn'tmatter what other people think' 3 times in your head it works quite suprisingly. Good luck.
