How Do I Convince My Parents to Let Me Model?
Question by Daphne: How do I convince my parents to let me model?
I am a 17 year old girl. I just completed high school and I am sure that I want to become a model.I fit all the physical requirements and am photogenic and I am mentally prepared for it. I speak 5 languages, I handle social situations well and I basically live for fashion. My parents however do not support the idea. At All. I want to participate in the Elite Model Look this year and I am not 18 so I will need their approval.
moreover, my Mom thinks that modelling is a ‘low( drug abuse, scams)’ and short lived profession. Without sounding conceited,just to make the picture clear, I think she knows I have the potential to stay in the business till I am in my forties but says it isn’t a respectable job.
How can I convince her that I can quit going to college and focus on my modelling career instead. I know its a tough business with tedious hours and lots of competition; I know that I will be rejected many times, regardless of how pretty or tall or graceful I might be. But I still stand a chance, because I am really hard-working and serious?This is what I wanted since I was 7.
Thanks for answering and taking the time to read. 🙂

Make a deal with them to let you have one year to pursue this. If you are not earning $ 200,000 a year by the end of your first year, then tell them you will quit modeling and go back to school.
If only? more people thought like you.
Your right on man. First time I heard anyone say what Ive been screaming for? years. Thank you and spread the word
Glad to hear someone has some sensiblities to be added to the issue of drug consumption and intoxication and drug addiction.
The drug advocates? dont care about the consequenses of their collective drug consumption. All they really care about is having easy access to their drugs of choice while conveniently blaming the laws for all the problems..but never ackowledging they are the source of the problems while always absolving themselves of any culpability.
Gee sounds like a formula for social disorder if ever there was one.
Let everyone have all the intoxicating substances they can get their hands on and allow government backed corporations to fully milk the citizens for all the drug profits they can.
How about more? people refrain from being intoxicated all the time rather than hell bent on trying all the drugs and intoxicants.
That’s already? happened. They are called pharms. They are just “official” versions of heroin and meth. Same shit. The only thing is that there are laws against illegal pharm use but it’s so easy to get pharms. Tell a doctor you have anxiety or ADD.
In my? opinion, take the distribution of drugs away from criminals, put in the hands of the state. Then draft extremely strict laws in regards to illegal trafficking and illegal purchase.
Keywords to consider, ‘unrestricted’ and ‘readily available’, I simply advocate legalisation because by putting the drug trade in the hands of the state it will allow them to regulate and restrict advertising, restrict commercialisation etc.
Where I live in Australia currently, if you want a drug, you can get it within 24 hours maximum. I? live in a high income area as well. Clearly enforcement isn’t working, we need to put sale into the hands of the state and not criminals.
For the sake of your friends/children or whoever else you preach this nonsense to, please understand the issue is bigger and much more difficult then just saying “well fuck lets legalize and tell everyone it’s bad”. It’s a? global issue and immensely challenging. I agree we should educate the shit out of people. But back to my original point, taking drugs affects EVERYONE. It is NOT your “civil right” to do what is wrong or harmful to yourself, your family, or your society.
You mention ‘facts’ but then group a drug like MJ with all other drugs. That’s irresponsible, dismissive and lazy. Egypt allowed unrestricted trade of cocaine and heroin in 1920s, a damn epidemic of addiction resulted. Even in Iran and Thailand,? countries where drugs are readily available, any idea the mess they have there? Did you even know netherlands are reconsidering the legalization of MJ. This is because property crime has doubled & studies show 80% of arrests are drug addicts
Um, you didn’t address my comment at all, instead you’re discussing legality…Anyway, I think most realize that marijuana can be legalized with little negative consequences.? What’s your point? MJ is not like cocaine, friend. You wanna talk history of legalizing drugs, cuz in foreign nations it NOT been successful. Opium was legalized in China earlier this century. That decision resulted in 90 million addicts and it took a half-century to repair the damage.

I agree that drugs cause problems, but people are going to use them irrespective of our current enforcement, this is why I advocate legality and regulation. Our current system causes MORE problems (drug cartels, taliban profiting off opium cultivation etc). We need to approach the problem differently, through a fucking bucket load of education, we need to reduce the demand for drugs, reducing the? supply to a point where demand will significantly decline is far too problematic.
You believe legality influences use? Look at the facts.
“The figures for cannabis use among the general population reveal the same pictures. The Netherlands does not differ greatly from other European countries. In contrast, a comparison with the US shows a striking difference in this area: 32.9% of Americans aged 12 and above have experience with cannabis and? 5.1% have used in the past month. These figures are twice as high as those in the Netherlands.”
I commend you for trying to be informed but you’ll have a tough time finding anyone to agree with you. Drug’s severely affect all of society, youtube isn’t the forum to help you understand why but I suggest you do the research. In 2008, 24000 ppl in Chicago alone were admitted due to Heroin. Who do you think pays for treatment? And keep in mind, the millions spent on publicly funded treatment programs is just? a small piece of the pie in chicago, let alone the country or entire globe.
Um, where was the logic and scientific evidence? Crime, incarceration, drug addiction treatment costs, medical costs from overdose or general psychological/physiological complications, drug related injuries, time lost from work,? social welfare programs etc etc etc.
Get a grip dude. I’m a realist, Marijuana is a tough debate. But if you’re “logic” leads you to believe people commit crimes, use any money earned for drugs but drugs aren’t the driving/direct cause, your delusional.
You simply resort to rhetoric and slander. I can back up what I say with sound logic and scientifc evidence. Tell me how a person who smokes marijuana is harming somebody besides themselves directly. Even in extreme cases such as heroin addiction, the heroin addict again is only physically harming themselves, if the addict is to commit crimes such as theft to fund his addiction, this is a question of their morality and not a direct consequence of the abuse? of an arbitrary substance.
Prevent gross human rights abuses? Only harming themselves? You have a lot to learn. And if you really think criminalization of drugs hinder ones freedom of how they want to “treat” their? bodies you must be high.
Not really, the thing is people are going to use drugs anyway regardless of whether they are legal or not. At least if they are legal we eliminate the need? for drug cartels and in turn we can prevent gross human rights abuses. Instead of spending all that money on law enforcement to lock up people who at most are only harming themselves we should be spending it on educating people instead and then giving them the freedom to choose how they treat their bodies.
Understandable, but you need to do your research. I’m not arguing against legalization of drugs BUT visit a family who’s been affected by LSD, cocaine or even worse, crystal meth then post. If you think this issue can be resolved by simply by legalizing it, the only people agreeing with you will always be those with as much knowledge (or lack thereof) as you. Your point of view MIGHT be accurate for 1 or 2? drugs, but for most it’s a completely irresponsible and dismissive.
alcohol definitely is not the most dangerous. Its use can be controlled and are controlled by people all? the time. I go a whole month without drinking. Let me hit some crack and I am going to want some more and more and more.
opiates are great too. I like oxys, roxys, percs, codone,. I never shot up? anything and I dont want to.
