I would not think that at all. Some people look at things differently. I am into basketball, not modeling or anything like that so I would say that you should play ball. Now, my cousin is into all that modeling stuff so she would say you should be a model.

My god, you sound beautiful !!
When you mentioned 'basket ball' player, I thought u were like 6'3" or something.
You're about Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer's height. And the fact that some think you look like a BB player is cause you're probably really slim. Which is fantastic at 16. You will gradually grow to be more proportioned. Don't rush it. You will be wonderful by 19 and super fabulous at 21. The beautiful ones take longer to mould into their looks. THe others flourish too early and fade too quickly. The ones who knew better were the ones who said you're beautiful. The ones who didn't or jealous, were the ones who want to mock. Try reading their facial expressions. You didn't need me to tell you that.
So don't worry, and focus on what matters ! The inside. While the outside take time to mould, work on your head and your heart. In a few years, you will be getting comments like, she's beautiful inside out. And that's what you'd wanna be. Rather than a supermodel (like Naomi for instance).
Chin up, babe. I'm gay, so I know what I'm talking about. *winks*

Whoever makes a comment about you being tall is just impressed, and maybe a bit jealous. Being tall is a big plus for a supermodel. Models are born, not made, and if you have the physical makeup it takes to be one, you should go for it. Ignore the thoughtless comments!

That is a normal comment of people who see being tall is automatically qualifying you for sports. If you are serious about modeling watch for open calls or get a portfolio of pictures to make the rounds of agencies. There are schools that will help you get a foot in the door, just keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities if you want to follow this path. good luck.

I wouldn't be so worried about what others think if I were you, since you will choose for your self what your going to do with your life. Why are you so concerned about other peoples comments? Do you feel the need to have others validate your looks for you, to have them tell you that your pretty in order for you to feel good about your self. You need to work on your self esteem, so that you can feel good about you that way.
Not every on sees some one who's tall/pretty thinks
"model", some think along the line of a basketball player. So what, who cares what other people think. Its called different strokes for different folks or every one is entitled to their own opinion.
If you become stuck on what you look like because that is all you can see about your self, then I would say that you are right to feel that you have a problem and it is serious. Maybe you should get some counseling to help you with this, because it isn't a good. Learn to love your self for who you are, and not for what you look like. I say this because what if your face were suddenly to become disfigured because of some kind of an accident, how would you deal with this?
I know that you said that you didn't want any rude or mean comments made. I like to help others if I can, but I'm not going to give you a sugar coated answer just to make you feel better about your self. Since I don't know you I have no reason to be mean/rude to you, I wouldn't waste my time answering questions just to be mean or rude. My time is valuable to me and I don't like to waste it, so I'm here to be honest in and attempt to help you. As I will gain nothing from answering this other than a good feeling with the though that maybe I helped you to see your self in a different way.
You seem to want/need to have others validate your looks for you. Look at it this way, if your pretty then you are pretty,so why would you need others to keep telling you this? I think that you have a low self esteem and that is why you crave people telling you that your pretty or beautiful, this makes you feel better about your self. So when the baskeball comment was made, it up set you since it wasn't what you wanted to hear.
What you really need is counseling so that you can understand that you build self esteem from the inside out. Get some help with this so that you can begin to feel better about who you are. I hope that you will do this. Feel better about who you are and stop worrying about the way you look.
A high self esteem will make your life a lot easier, it will keep boys/men from using you, it will also help you feel a lot better about who you are. You will come to see that you are more than just a face, and that it isn't all about what you look like.
I wish you all the best in what ever you do in your life. I hope that you seek out some help so that you will feel better about your self and who your really are. Good luck to you.

It's just that people equate height with the ability to play basketball. It has nothing to do with your looks or whether or not you can even dribble a basketball.
There are many attractive female athletes out there, so take it as a compliment.

5'11"? My guess is you are at least 6' and don't want to admit it. Tall girls are UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS... I LOVE THEM... and so does everyone else... Women won't ever compliment you because their height is something they can't change, not even with surgery, they can get tighter stomachs, bigger boobs, but never taller. Also, I promise, any guy who says a 6' girl is unattractive, or makes fun of her, is FAR too short for his own security. Embrace your tallness, and learn to love it, and in a few years, guys will swoon for you... I promise...

well (and please this is not an insulting answer at all) models generally have a very disproportionate body. the ratios of say their leg length to their torso length is not the norm, for example....they appear quite differently than normally proportioned people..but they wear clothes tremendously well.,..I don't know that much about the fashion industry but I do know something about body proportions...I'm not saying that they are unattractive--just that they stand out.

I wouldn't worry what any of them say. While 5'11 is tall,, it's not wnba freakishly tall, so what? Figure out what it is that makes you happy, and what you want to do with your life and don't let other people dictate what you think about yourself!
