Answer 10

my dad is soo the same. i wanted to sing and he said the same thing to me but im not going to give up and neither should you. but still do your work coz u never know if it fails or something. i think he just cares about your wellspring and stuff.

Answer 11

He's just worried, and he's right to be. I did some modeling a few months back and whilst the experience was good, it brought my self-esteem down to rock bottom. The girl I did it with was about 3 pounds and 7'5", and I was at a "normal" weight. So, it did make me feel like sh*t.

When you do it, remember that you wouldn't have been picked unless you are pretty enough, ok? Don't let the other models bring you down. It can be a pretty b*tchy business and if you end up in the wrong crowd it can easily lead to poor self-esteem and eating disorders.

Talk to your dad! Tell him that if anything is ever on your mind, you'll come talk to him, not just let it bubble up inside. Then he'll have some peace of mind. Remember, he still thinks of you as a little baby, it's probably quite a shock to him, now he has to realize that your growing up and are becoming less and less dependent on him.

I think once he sees the pictures he'll be really proud, in fact, I KNOW he will be.

Good luck, have fun, and don't let any of it get to you!
