HI,
1st. Your weight isn't an issue. You are built that way, and being thin is a good thing to be. Don't worry about this, no matter what they say.
2nd. Talk to you dr. about the excess sweating there may be some thing they can do about that.
3rd. For your hair, I grew up with what I thought was really crappy hair, and now that I am older my hair is one of my best assets! I have learned to put the correct products in it for my hair and I have thick and long curly hair (its turning gray now, but there are remedies for that too! LOL) My advice, save some money and go to an excellent salon--they will help you! Just tell them your situation and they will tell you what you can do to make your hair great!
If your parents or your sister (if you have one) do not want to help you with these issues--do them by yourself. Or find a great friend that can go with you.
You can do this!! You don't have to feel like you're ugly or lacking in some way. Love yourself for who you are.
Good luck.

Everyone has imperfections. Its just the way we deal with them that counts. Its like make up, people use make up to highlight what they do like and cover what they dislike, if you take a look at some people its a very strange way to live but it makes us human everyones in the same situation they just like the idea of being unique and keeping it personal.
As long as you drink lots of water, keeping hydrated throughout and have a balanced diet putting on weight shouldnt be a problem, just do it the right way. Treat yourself from time to time never say no when you really want to say yes! Sweat is a common problem some people suffer more than others, it may be the deodrant try a different brand or if you use roll on try spray or vice versa whatever works best for you.
Straightening does damage hair! After years of experiance i can tell you that i wish id ov left my hair naturally curly its too late in the day now im left with the inbetween kink otherwise! Why not invest on a really good set of hair straighteners? Its worth the cost, always use heat protection on your hair too to tame wild locks!
Or if moneys an issue a good cut will do your hair the world of good why not go for a new style? Short hair is in at the moment which is a lot easier to maintain! If its especiall think hair then a hair serum may do the ,a thick conditioner will smooth and flatten hair (i sound like an advert!)
Try embracing what you do have rather than what you dont have, nobody in this world is perfect but it makes you the person you are.
Sorry this was so long just wanted to cover all questions.
P.s you say your 14 yet the post says 18-21, may affect answers. best of luck

buttt
dont gel your hair! please dont! theres a girl that does that at my school and everyone thinks her hair is just greasy
i have a similar issue my hair is not curly or straight
just frizzy
so tips:
once youve washed it (use heat defence conditioner)
Blow dry it in sections: Spray using heat defence spray, then blow dry from above using a brush to blow dry it straight, then use hair spray on this section (comb through after to make it not sticky)
Then straighten it in sections: (this shouldnt take too long because its already blow dried, just helps to keep it straight for longer)
comb through during the if you need to
:D
