So, I was wondering if someone could give me a little bit of information on modeling. Teenage modeling, to be exact.
Let me fill you in; I'm a fourteen year old girl and I have a dream. I have a birth defect called Spina Bifida and I also have Scoliosis. I've had eight surgeries so far, so needless to say, I have scars. But I look completely normal from the front. If my back was exposed, that would be pretty much be the only indicator of my disability. And I've been interested in modeling because I want to show other teens that even if you have some scars and something not "normal", you're still beautiful.
I've grown up with a lot of self esteem issues, but I don't want to let this stop me from modeling. I've had countless people tell me, "Just give up. Their looking for kids who aren't messed up."
You see, I'd like to know if this dream is still possible for me, even with my scars and such. I'm not overweight, I'm actually quite skinny. I weigh 78 pounds (I'm not anorexic. I have an extremely high metabolism). I'm actually very small for my age. I'm only 4'7". I know, I know. I'm tiny.
And help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you very much for at least reading this.
