How do I get rid of my S lisp?

It takes lots of repeated practice. Start by practicing just the S sound by itself. Once you can do that, start building on it by adding vowels. You might have an "aa" in front of or behind it, for instance. Then, you'd add vowels before and after, like "aasaa." From there, work towards words, and even blending words, like going from the word "show" to the word "us," and seeing if you're still able to articulate those different sounds.

What type of lisps are most common?

When people mention lisping, they're usually talking about a lateral lisp, which is when the sound escapes out of the side of the mouth.

What if I have low self-esteem because of my lisp?

It's important to understand that there's not anything wrong with you. You might be experiencing something that's different than your peers, but it's just a part of what you have going on—it doesn't make you who you are. Don't let it get in the way of living your life and talking with people you care about.
