Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Look and see if there is a Barbizon School of Modeling in your area :) i am with them and It's fantastic. A little pricey but if you are willing to put in the work and go to the classes you will start getting jobs after you graduate :)

Your never to young for modeling, you can start by getting an agent, agents help book meetings, interviews, etc. Not only that but you can go on exploretalent.com, and they show you auditions and stuff. Hope this helped :)

I Agree with the last answer you are very young!
but maybe get some head shots and professional pictures taken. Look around for some local fashion shows in malls and stuff like that small scale stuff nothing filled with too much pressure at your age.
When I was little there was a modelling "school" near my area I went for fun while my mom was shopping. It wasn't too serious but when fashion shows and stuff like that would be organized for the younger classes and we would get our make up done. I don't know if there is anything like that around florida maybe have a look around. This place was great they weren't pushy or trying to create young models. they had classes for older girls of 17 18 which would be more geared towards an actual career.
Start gathering information and make sure you really want this many are attracted to modelling because it seems so glamorous and fun but its hard work. You are made to feel like you have to look a certain way all the time..you can't be too skinny too fat too small too tall.. you constantly have to watch your weight and when you start getting older you face more criticism and competition from younger models. Its a brutal industry in which you are constantly scrutinized so make sure you go into it for the right reasons your still so young.
you need a good education behind you first and any agent will tell you that. but if its what you really want work hard in school get an agent do as much local work as you can. Its a tough industry to break into but if you have determination you will get there.
Good luck :)

you've got the height, but 12 is too young to start a modelling career. the only way people can have a modelling career so young is if they have pushy parents - otherwise wait till your older when someone will start taking you seriously - search online or via the phone for an agent and start practising your runway walk!
