By all means, let her know how you feel. It makes a big difference since it takes so much of your time and life away from what you could truly enjoy! Your happiness is what's important. If it makes you depressed from doing all of this, then let her know. All the glamour and glitter of being a model isn't for averyone. I know a few who hated it due to all the stress and the heat from so many hot summer days or the studio lights. They are much happier as a person for speaking up and dropping what they didn't want.
Good luck in either case. =)

Been there and done that. I used modeling to travel the world and have experiences that no one my age had. I hated modeling but one thing I did love was visiting all of the different countries. I didn't come home until 10 years ago and my mother is still angry at me for quiting. I have disappointed her. Oh, well. That's ok with me. I love my life, now. I am still able to travel but I now have a "real" job, which is an adjustment. I also have a normal husband and child. Not one that travels like I did. I have told my daughter that if she wants to model after college or while in college for "extra" money, that's fine. But I do not recommend the profession to her or any young woman.

On the other hand. If you want to "get away" and be on your own. Modeling could get you there. Just remember to save your money and keep an eye on all of the vultures. Don't get mixed up in anything and be you. That's the only way you will survive.

Good Luck!

She wants a trophy child, and that's a shame because most kids end up rejecting the role. The time they should have spent on other things--even mere enjoyment and trivial socializing--is dominated by the parent. Is there something else you'd rather be or do you just not want to be a model? Or could you be a model but are uncomfortable in the role, with that kind of attention and pressure? I have to apologise here, because I'm not taking your mother's side. I'm pointing out that it's important to know your own feelings about this, and it's easy to not know how you really feel when you're under stress.

If you don't have a father you can speak with or who will speak on your behalf, you should find others outside your mother's circle. Could be a teacher, clergyman, school counselor or even a phone talkline. You could find--or even start--a support group for kids being dominated by such parents. You aren't alone. I know a girl whose family was into baton twirling--Grandma, aunts and mother--and turned what could have been an enjoyable pasttime into competition to perform. Yes, I know they say it's a "sport". That's irrelevant. Boys can also face such pressure from their fathers.

If you don't want to be a model then sit down with your mom and talk to her about it. She can't force you into things, even if she is only trying to do what's best for you. Explain to her exactly how you feel. Or if your mom isn't the type of person that you can talk to face to face then write her a letter. In my opinion the letter option is easier because your mom will have to read it all whereas if she was talking to you she could interrupt you and not listen to the full story. It's up to you how you tell her though.

I'm sure that your mother loves you with all her heart and absolutely adores you. I think that she was trying to help you and make sure that you have a good career, but even moms make mistakes sometimes. Just tell her that you love her with all your heart and that you have great respect for her but you're not happy. I'm sure that she'll understand and will go well out of her way to make you happy again. Good luck and I hope it all works out. I'll be thinking of you xxx

if you don't want to do it, just tell your mom! tell her, mom, I love you, and I know you want the best for me, but I think I'd rather spend my time doing other things. Also, I would also suggest you try to find another older person you can discuss this with--in real life, not online--like a teacher or a cousin or someone at church, if you go to church.
