WELL EVERY MODEL NEEDS A PORFOLIO. YOU CAN EITHER GET A FRIEND TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF YOU OR GET IT PROFESSIONALLY DONE. THEN SEARCH FOR SOME AGENCIES IN YOUR AREA. SEND YOUR PICS TO SOME AGENCIES. YOU CAN GO TO YAHOO SEARCH TO FIND AGENCIES NEAR YOU. SOMETIMES SCOUTS WILL COME TO YOUR AREA TO FIND TALENT. YOU CAN GO TO THEIR OPEN CASTING CALL. IF YOU WANT TO GO THE EASY WAY YOU CAN GET AN ONLINE PORFOLIO. FOR CHEAP OR FREE! HERE ARE SOME WEBSITES-
www.starsearchcasting.com
www.instantcast.com
www.models.com
www.onemodelplace.com
I HOPE YOU BECOME SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR FUTURE MODELING CAREER. REMEMBER,NEVER PAY FOR AN AGENCY! THEY PAY YOU!
GOOD LUCK! ^_^

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!!!!

Certain agencies would accept you at your age at 5'7: this of course depends on your build and overall 'look' as well. Think high cheekbones, toned body (the general rule is 34-24-34 for bust/waist/hip measurements)
If you fit this then your best bet is to go to an open call at a modelling agency. Make sure its reputable and consider trying one of the bigger NY or LA based agencies such as Ford or Elite. If not, research the agency well.
Also - you may consider trying modelmayhem.com or onemodelplace.com and setting up a profile.
Think carefully about wanting to model though: it seems glamorous but you will be working all day tirelessly in very uncomfortable positions. Every shoot I've had I've been shattered afterwards: its nice to have the photos but understand that it is work, and hard work at that. You must have a mature attitude.

You are probably tall enough. I have read about models being about your height now. The first to do is to find a good place to help you find work. Just make sure that the agency doesn't wnt you to spend a ton of money on your pictures because if they want you bad enough they should pay for them. Good luck!
