 As long as it isn't in conflict with future aspirations and YOU can handle it, realizing that you will have those photos to deal with out there for the rest of your life, and that is a line that once you have crossed, it's just always out there, well then I fully support your choice. I have never bared my breasts in any country, but that is my personal nature. On the other hand, I am a Feminist, and I think that anything you choose to do with your own body and your own life is fully your decision. Also, I'm assuming you aren't a Poly Sci student with aspirations to be a future President or a First Lady. Although, in that case, you might Truly be the First!!!

It is entirely your choice and your judgement.
If you were to do it, be open about it, no good hiding it, as the past can haunt you. look at the pictures with pride when your an old lady. Show the grandchildren how smart your bod was.You could Model naked in an artistic way rather than pornographic, there is taste in nude modelling if it is artistic and creative. If you are open and honest and won't feel bad later on then do it.
But if you want to do this on the quite and really feel that you are doing somthing that you wouldnt be happy with,and live to regret. dont do it. Be true to yourself and money really is not a good reason because there are plenty of students who work in cafe's and bars and cleaning toilets to fund their studies.

These sorts of things have a way of getting around, and it will give you a certain reputation, but if you dont mind having that sort of reputation, and you dont want a carreer that could be ruined by them, then go for it! You are old enough to make your own decisions and its your life and if you want to then go for it! :)

reader, anonymous, writes (20 October 2008): Ok, look at it this way. You say you don't want to do it. Years from now will you be ashamed/feel guilty about it? If the answer is yes, then don't do it. Have you thought about the fall-out from this in the future? What if someone you love-family,boyfriend, husband ect..finds out you did this. what if they can't accept what you did? You didn't say that you weren't going to tell anyone, but I'm just assuming you wouldn't. If you don't want to do it, then just don't. There are other ways to earn money besides posing nude. Good luck.

well its better than prostituting yourself, if its going to get you your money so you can better yourself then do it. the worry of the money situation is greater than the worry of is topless modelling wrong. just do it, dont be ashamed as you are doing so you can get your education which is clearly important to you.

It's disgusting but that's always a risk. It really depends on what you want job you want too do.

 If you want to do it, what can we say?
If you're unsure about the decision, I can tell you that, in my opinion, there are some things a person shouldn't do. For example, I wouldn't belong to a certain political party even though doing that would give me so many advantages. But that's me.
You need to determine what you will do and what you won't. I can tell you this much: "everyone does it" is a bad reason to do something.
