Anyone can be a model as long as they have the right attitude, measurements are not set in stone people look for a unique look not just a few numbers. If you are happy with the work, and don't expect overnight success, you will be fine. If you are actually thinking about it here is some advise.
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.
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. This site will not contain adverts, unless you host it and put the adverts there yourself. 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.
I will need to speak to your parents and make sure that they know what is happening and agree with it before i do any work, sorry but it is a legal issue.

Your height is fine for some types of modelling. For advertising or glamour modelling your height isn't really all that important.
But for fashion modelling, you need to be at least 5'7 (although kate moss is only 5'6). And for high fashion/courture/catwalk modelling, you really need to be at least 5'9.
But you're a good height for your early teens - grow one more inch (you'll easily do that) and you'll be the same height as Kate Moss, which is pretty cool.

depends on how old of a teen you are, i was 5'9" at 13-14, and am now 5'10" or more, i dunno, at 17, so either it might be possible to grow 4 or 5 inches in a few years, but if you're already 17 18, i don't think you'll be growing that many inches, cuz i'm sure you know models are like 5'9.5" to 6', the supermodels at least.

you have to be taller , at least 5'9 but you sound young so you have time to grow. Also being a model is not a glamorous as you think, Take the time to really reseach modeling and see if it is really want you want to do,

you're pretty tall heh, if you grow 2 more inches that'll be good for a model height. ;) don't worry you still have your teen years

Its a good height so far, if you want to be a model, get qualifications so you can have a nother career to fall back on if this one fails

you'll grow taller. but being pretty isn't only the factor in making it to the modeling industry. i mean, tyra banks isn't pretty without make up but she's a really good model.
