I think you should wait until you are a bit older! You will thank your dad in a few years time!

Being a model is a complicated thing. You need to find our how you can officially become a "real" model - through local agencies, department store teen boards, and so on. Ask your Dad and Mom to go with you to talk with one of the agencies to learn about how to be a professional. Your Dad may have visions of some unsavory characters when in fact models under 18 have to have parents present at all times and all sessions are very well attended by lots of people. Your Dad will have to invest some money in your career through good photography and printing.
If he is reluctant because he thinks you will lose school time, you can set the criteria for accepting jobs and going on interviews and stick with it.

Wear clothes that he likes for a while, do the thing he tells you and trust him. Honor him and respect him. When you do this he will trust you. have him read about modeling and that its not bad. Give him some web sites on modeling and books but don't shuve them down his throat. Don't MAKE him read them or anything. Show him the good side of modeling.
My 8 year old daughter and 11 year old daughter model. Believe or not, all my kids have modeled even my 3 and 5 year old sons, not really modeling but kind of for kids toy magazines and stuff. My baby son, Nigel has done a lot in baby magazines
I think its wonderful and its in no way bad.

its not that your dad doesnt rust you, its that hes noticing that daddies llittle girl is growing up, and he is scared of reality... Tell him you have enough repsect for yourself that you wont do anything stupid to keep this modeling career, than go on by explaining that one day you will have to grow up and see the real worrld, and you could make youself a living doing this. Also go on and let him know you wont let it interfere with your academics and you will still go to college(if you have previously planned on it). What wuill really make him trut you is if you stick to your words to him. Tell him modeling is what you have always wanted to do and now that you have the chance you really dont want it to be ruined. Tell him you have drempt of it all your life(as many little girls have)...and now that the time is here and its really happening yuo wana take the chance... ask him if he will pease support you through this...
thats the best thing i can tel ya.
good luck with teh career, keep up the work in school...
best wishes to you and happy holidays

I don't think it's a matter of trust. Look at all the ubermodels out there. Do they really look happy? And what do they do after they start to age? And does anyone ever give them credit for their brains? I think your dad wants you to have a normal life, and he wants you to depend on your inner self for what you do with your life, not just your looks, which will fade with time. I agree with dad. Sorry.

Have you seen the way Hollywood treats their models? Most of them have to starve themselves on a daily basis in order to remain in the profession. Weight is a big part of modeling and if they think your too skinny or fat(even if you put on a little weight) they'll "cut" you from the business. Your dad is just protecting you from that business and the stress and pressure that these B******* put on young teen girls and women. I'd advise you to pick another career.

The reason why your dad doesnt trust you is because he thinks guys will wanna do it with you while your exposing your body.... just say something like:
"Dad this is my dream, what I want to do and if you can't accpet that then too bad because you can't stop me from what I really want to do"

well are you modest? if you aren't than your dad is probably afraid that you will be put in a porn pic, which isn't very good so be as modest as can be around your dad and if the people taking pictures asks you to be in a porn pic or something close to that than say no or your dad will not allow you to have that job.

Do you have good grades and great behavior? These are important if you are thinking of working, including modeling.
Another issue is, do you base your self-worth on your appearance, or on others' opinions of you? If you do, modeling might not be healthy for you; it might make these tendencies worse.

Ask him why he doesn't want you to model. Then listen to his answer. I think he may be being protective, understandable for a Dad.
If you're serious about it, ask him to come with you & involve him in your career.
