Is it bad if my 2002 accord burn oil?

All cars burn oil to some degree. Some more than others and some less.
It depends on how much you are having to add each time, engine operating conditions, etc.
About how much do you have to add each time?
Any noticeable leaks?
Bluish exhaust smoke?
Has the PCV valve ever been changed?
This link has info. on the location of the PCV valve.

To give you a more precise answer you need to provide us with how much oil you're adding and how many miles you drove since you last added oil. The thing is, some folks drive over a thousand miles every two weeks and some folks drive only a hundred or two.

Also how many miles on the car? How many miles between adding oil. That reminds me I need to check my oil. It's been 5k since I change it.
That said, I love not being a Honda repair expert. Have a Ford Fiesta?, contact me, I know what's wrong with it as I had all the problems.

I just hear my uncle says that I should use thicker oil like 10-30W because my car is old. Should I use thicker oil from now?

My 02 Accord v6 has 102K miles. I use 5-20W synthetic Mobil oil because it says 5-20W on the cap of the engine. My v6 accelerate very bad. Sometime I floored the gas but the car accelerate slower than normally.

If your car has bad acceleration then something else is going wrong, possibly a slipped timing belt (when was the last time it was changed?).
FWIW, I have basically the same car as you (only in 2001 trim), it has 160,000 miles on the odometer and it has been fed a diet exclusively of 5W-20 and 0W-20; it accelerates very strongly and uses very little oil between 7,500 mile oil changes.

My mpg is 19-20mpg(I dont race, I press hard on the gas when needed)
Vtech almost never kick in

Hmmm, something's very wrong, and it may well be the timing.
Things I would check:

- Upstream O2 sensor
