HI wis75 Thanks for your input. Luckily, my daughter has a longstanding, tight group of 9-10 friends --girls and boys-- at school who she hangs out with. They are the “smart” and “band” kids and provide each other with mutual support – homework/dating/etc. They are great kids. She is not in the “party” set nor does she want to be – as you point out, it is not really a crowd that she would enjoy hanging out with and she knows that. But she still wants to show that she “could” be cool if she wanted to be. She still feels a sting of “oh everyone beside my group is super cool as shown in their IG feeds.” Hence the modeling. It’s not about joining that set at all, but just saying “look, I have another facet to me.”
@MaineLonghorn My partner has gone over the contract with a fine tooth comb so we have some questions for the agency but it largely seems fine. (I also insisted that my daughter read it too just because she should know that one needs to do that kind of thing)
