I had a letter from a father the other day. He told me his daughter is 13 and is always being approached by scouts from the big agencies. 'Should I let her model? She would be able to see the world, be independent, wear nice clothes, it could be a nice hobby until she decides what she wants to do.'

　　I told this father what I tell all parents: make sure she gets an education first, tell her to wait until she is 18 and then do your level best to talk her out of it。

　　有一天我接到位父亲的来信，他说13的女儿被星探公司发现，是否应该让她成为模特呢，她想去闯世界，想独立，想有漂亮衣服穿。尽管自己决定想做什么是个好习惯，但我奉劝这位父亲，就像我劝告所有父母的一样：务必首先要让孩子受到良好的教育，告诉她要等到18岁，然后尽其所能的使其远离这个行业。
