I'd do it and see where it takes you.

Modeling and school are not mutually exclusive.

You can always change your mind later if you don't like it, or if you find it to be bad for your mental health

or you can do both! Modeling isn't a lifelong career plan, but then, I don't think humans were meant to have only one career in our whole lives. It's no wonder people get bored and discontent. There's too much pressure in our society on 17-year-olds. You're supposed to have your whole future figured out and know what you want to do with your lives. No. Do what you feel like doing now, and don't burn any bridges.

Meantime, distractions can be good. I hope you get the therapy you need. It's really unforgivable that your mom hasn't taken you already

 

I would persue the modelling and see where it takes you. You can train as a therapist if you don't like modelling, but modelling really is a one shot! All my luck x

 

Well being a model once doesn't mean you have to make it a career.
Also even if you did get an agency you can still go to school? It's not like modeling is clocking out 9-5. Usually you get something once in a few weeks / months for two days. Let's not be too dramatic. There is another -7 year old model who has good grades while being in an agency.

 

Go for it! You're so lucky that you got a break like that! Even if you decide not to pursue it, it could help you pay for school if you're good at it. Just study up and be careful of scams-there are a lot of creepers out there, but there's tons of information for beginning models to help you get on the right track.

 

Like the other ladys said, "GO FOR IT!", but keep education going as well even just 1 or 2 classes a semester add up over the years, and if your studying or going to class it'll keep you busy, which I find keeps my mind off of eating.

 

I'm kinda jealous 😅
Because I'm waaay too short, ugly and overweight. If I were you I'd def go for it!

 

Thanks everyone. I said yes, and they will get back to me if they like my photos from today I wish I did not feel so miserable. I feel very sad and guilty and I hate myself. But nothing anyone can do about that

 

I think you could model and do school at the same time, however I don't think it'd be good for your mental health to get into a job that emphasizes being thin so much when you're clearly struggling with issues already. Best wishes xx

 

My friend modeled all the way through college and it helped her a lot with paying bills. No offense, but you're only 5'4 (I'm the same height!) so your options as a model are slim to none (not trying to be offensive! They don't like petite girls). I would say take the opportunity and see where it takes you! But if you don't want to do it, just say no.
