I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau.
NEVER GO ON YOUR OWN ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PARENTS!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN!!!
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
PARENTS PERMISSION REQUIRED before i will do any work.
Also i may refuse to host any image if i think it is inappropriate, sorry but I do not agree with that sort of thing.

Don't send pictures to anyone online. Not only could you attract a creep, but you could also get your image used and not get paid. Your parents have to be the ones who find out how you can start modeling and it is a lot of work. It would probably be fun to take modeling or acting classes as a way to get your stage presence perfected.

dont post pics on websites or dont send one! have a go-see with agencies, try to have some modeling workshops because if they see any potentials from you they will automatically recommend you to their clients! prepare a set card first that includes whoe body, close up, side view shot and an establish shot! i'm into modeling too, doing it for 3 years now!

You need to create a portfolio first. Have a professional photographer take pictures of you. Then you send them to different agencies. You can go to GOOGLE to look up the agencies address and when all they need in order to consider you. be prepared for a lot of rejection.

I was one, and it really isn't worth it. Trust me, they exploit you, then drop you once you get too old. Wait until you're older.
