So, yeah, there’s a lot going on and credit where it’s due especially when teenagers have to multitask, learn about themselves, understand their goals, their vision, and their aspirations through their youth.
Despite all these challenges, youngsters are resilient and can be very focused and driven to succeed. Teen modelling can be an additional skill, not to mention a career that they can add to their flourishing CV, helping them to develop their interpersonal skills and earn money.
