Model
How do you become a model? I really want to be one but the problem is.. I'm not all that pretty. :/
Compared to most girls in my school. They all look the same and I.. look different I guess. My eyes are big and my skin isn't pale. My hair is not long. I'm short.
I've always been interested in modeling but everyone is so beautiful. So i don't think i can get anywhere. Are looks everything? Do you have to have perfect skin, beautiful eyes, blonde hair, etc?

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Yes. You have to have good skin, lovely eyes, skinny waist.
Yes, looks are everything. It's modeling, for god's sakes, that's the point. There are some modeling positions for girls of different weights and heights, but even if they want a short, chubby girl, they will want her to have a pretty face and good proportions. Even plus size modeling requires certain waist to hip ratios.
If you're not beautiful, don't bother.

I have some advice, and I hope you truly listen to what I have to say, because it is the truth:
Have a back-up plan.
I cannot say this enough. Becoming a model, singer, or actor/actress is very hard to do. I'm not saying that you won't become a model. I'm not saying that you don't have what it takes. I'm saying that according to statistics, the chances of you becoming a model are very low. This is why you should have another job in mind just in case modeling doesn't work out, something like business, childcare, cosmetology, etc.
Now, back to the question. You say you're short. There are plenty of short models out there, so I wouldn't worry about your height. You also say that your eyes are big. Most people consider eyes the best physical feature of the face, and since your eyes are more noticeable, that could actually help you.
"Are looks everything?"
Contrary to popular beliefs, looks are only about half of what it takes to be a model. The other half is attitude. There are millions of beautiful people out there, but if they can't walk down a stage with good posture and poise, they won't make it in the modeling business. You need to know how to walk, pose, and make different facial expressions to be a successful model. Some people would probably consider modeling a type of acting.
I wish you the best of luck with your modeling dream, and remember, HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN!

There are many girls out there (the average girl) who makes the front cover of a magasine or is asked to be in an advertisement. Even if you believe that you do not have the looks, you still have the chance. Go to this site. I think it will help you alot.
