 Lots of good pointers in here. At 15 you still have about 3 yrs growing height wise to do yet probably. Feet stop growing last! I didn't grow after 15, but i smoked so i stunted my growth at 5'3! lol but even if you stay the height you are now (you dont say what that is) there are loads of different modelling jobs. If you have a pretty face and eyes, make up modelling could be right up your street! If you have good hands, nailvarnish etc! chill a bit and dont get stressed for a good couple of years yet hun!

 At 15, yes you still have time to grow.
how tall are you exactly?
You have to be 5'9 for catwalk modelling and something like 5'7 for photoshoots for most of the big agencies, however if you wanted to do a different type of modelling you might be ok being abit smaller.
not to sound boring or anything, but don't place all of your hopes on modelling. take it from someone who knows - it's a very tough world to make it in, and not half as glamorous as it might seem - lots of early mornings, late nights at the last minute, bitchy girls and sleazy men, constantly feeling inadequate, not as pretty as the next model etc.

Typically, I would say that you have another year or so to grow more. If modeling is your passion, then dont give up. You are young and have plenty of time to challenge the sterotypes. Your height might force you to work harder to get where you want but you should be that much more proud when you achieve it! Go for it and good luck!
