models don't necessarily need to be good looking, but I don't think you are tall enough. grow another 2 inches, make sure you can see your ribs, and be confident.

Depends, For example the standard runway model should be 5 9" and up, but Kate moss is a runway model and she's only 5 7", also it depends on your look, is it what's in style now? And finally your personality, you need to be someone people can hang out with easily, it's very important in the industry, i know this from personal experience, I took modeling classes for years and I'm also familiar with the industry from being a model dresser and I'm a designer. Any ways check out modeling agencies, like Ford models, Wilhelmina, IMG, etc, Agencies on line ,see when their open audition or whenever their searching for new models, if you get rejected it's OK plenty of famous models did too, keep trying don't take it personal, and keep your head up.

Well you're a good age and height, being slim also really helps. There is more to being a model though... you also need:
Attractive face
Good hair
Posture/poise
Grace
Full figured (it helps to have an hourglass figure with good sized breasts and ***) although this is more for things like Victoria Secret models... many "runway" models tend to be pencil thin.
You should at least give it a shot if that's what you really want to do!

your tall so a runway model , im sure you could! Just beware.. i think some of the modeling places actually make you starve yourself for awhile intill they think your the perfect weight.. Have you seen some of the pictures of some of the runway models on tv!? They look like skin and bones..
It really isn't healthy and doesnt look right but how about doing photoshoots for certain advertisements or something

probably not a runway model... runway models are usually between 5'9 and 6'0. but you could probably be a commercial model if you are pretty and take good pictures.

yes you can model. go to an agency and try ot get a deal create a portfolio first then wear somehting that shows off your body because they want to see your legs and overall body to see if they will take you on. good luck.

I don't think 5-7 is tall enough. I think 5-9 is about as short as they go.

i dont know it depends if you are pretty or not
you have to be tall and skinny (which you are) and pretty in a sophisticated way. also, this is hard to explain, but you have to be able to look (like looking at the camera)the way models do, like the way their eyes are and stuff
