Today, I told my mom that I wanted professional head-shots done for Christmas. When asked why, I said "I want to submit them to a modeling agency." My mom exchanged looks with my sister before laughing so hard that she wet herself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my parents I wanted to try modelling. I thought that since I have such a low self-esteem, that it might benefit me, and make me feel better about myself and how I look. The first thing out of my dad's mouth was, "What? Why? You're ugly." Thanks dad. FML
Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML
Today, I went to the mall with two friends. A modelling scout approached us and asked both of my friends if they were interested in modelling. When the scout finally noticed me, she asked if I was their mom. We're all the same age. FML
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Today, I was having lunch with my sister and my mother. While my mom was busy ordering food, my sister said to me, "Look at this!" then contorted her face so that she had a double chin. My mother looked over and said to her, "Stop making fun of your sister!" FML
Today, I told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML
Today, I found out my mom is the nude model for an art class at my college. FML
Today, I was talking with my mom about getting my school photos retouched. I believe her exact words were, "They'll take one look at you, and charge me triple." FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, my mom called me and said, "I made your sister laugh so hard she peed her pants." I got home and noticed she also peed on my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Either she laughed because she doesn't think youre pretty enough, or she laughed because she thinks modeling isn't the career she had in mind for you and expected you to be interested in something more scholarly. But on the other hand, I never understood how some people don't realize that it never hurts to try.. You may or may not have a shot and if not, you still have professional photos done :)

Actually, it often it hurts to try, like the OP demonstrated here. Trying gave her ridicule and psychological damage, which the OP seems to have a weak resistance to. And depending on what you are trying, it also eats up a fair amount of your time, the one resource you can never ever replenish.

I think she realized it sounded like getting tea bagged

Family can be cruel, OP. Just hang in there. If you want to be a model, just keep working at it. Ignore all the people who think you can't do it. You'll show them. FYL.

35- As a model myself your wrong. it's about how you present and represent. so before you come putting comment you should probably know what your talking about... yes, getting headshots done would be a good idea and would help boost your chances

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

As a model, you're the type of model that makes the rest of us look dumb. The comment you replied to was clearly a joke. Seriously. I'm facepalming so hard right now I'm seeing stars. OP, you don't need professional shots to apply to agencies; most, if not all, discourage it because 99% of the time they're unable to be used and you'll have wasted your money. Get someone to take 'model polaroid'-style snaps and/or attend open calls and only apply/accept offers from legitimate agencies. Read newmodels.com at least thrice before you go any further. If you succeed, you'll have the last laugh. If not, you won't have wasted a Christmas present on shots you wouldn't have been able to use anyway and at least you'll have been able to say you gave it a decent go. Regardless, while your family shouldn't have been so overtly cruel, you will need a thicker skin if you wish to step foot inside this industry. Good luck!

I'm not sure what sucks more: that your family ridiculed you or that your mom wet herself. FYL

Suck it up princess. Someone tried to hurt your ego, and you let them. Whoop-de-fricketty-doo. If that got to you, maybe you shouldn't be looking to get a job where you put yourself up on a pedestal, ripe for ridicule.
