Anyone can be a model as long as they have the right attitude and are happy with the work, and don't expect overnight success. If she is actually thinking about it here is some advise for her.
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 in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
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.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

she is the perfect height. Ive modeled since I was 12 but when I stopped growning I had problems with my height now. most agencies now require their models to be 5'9" or taller. or under 5'6" for petite models.... have you seen those 12 yr old girls walking down the runway for the big name designers ....... yeah none of them are shorter then 5'9" so she has that on her side and chances are shes going to grow still because shes only 14 im guessing.

I would actually saythat she is perfect, or a little to tall. But there is no right height for a model. All the models might be the same weight wise, but not height wise. It doesn't matter! U see tall models, short models, and in between models!

POT is a good high for a 14 year old girl, 5'9" is a good HEIGHT for a girl of 14.
Do they teach English anymore?

She's absolutely tall enough, but make sure she doesn't get too hung up on numbers and get self conscientious, whether it's height or weight! It's just SO not worth it!

i have a friend thats 5'8 and shes trying to be a model. the modeling agency said that she met all the "requirements" but they didnt have any room for another model. so i think your friend is fine.
