Question seeking advice in the modeling field...?

So I'm 14 and I'm 5'4 and i've been looking into modeling. I know that i'm WAY too short to runway model because you've got to be what...atleast 5'7? hah. And i doubt I'll grow that much, SO, I've been thinking about doing commerical modeling. How would I go about that? I live about an hour from Philadelphia near Lehigh Valley...how do I find jobs? I really don't know if it would be worth getting an agent yetbecause I don't really know a whole lot about the field and I know they're a heckof a lot of money, and I don't know if it's 'for me' yet, ya know? So how do I find jobs near me without an agent? I know I would have to get headshots and that's not a problem, what else do I need to do? Also, am I too SHORT for commerical? I know that 5'4 isn't incredibly short...but you never know. Any help would be great. Thanks!

don't think about that crap.
Study hard.
go to college.
get a real job.
become a nurse or something.
don't think about becoming a model or singer or actress or some looser job like that.

Look in the Yellow Pages under "Modelling Agencies." In my city there is one that offers classes so you should have one in your area that does too. This will teach you all the basics that they look for on how to behave in front of the camera. When you are done with it, register with the modelling agencies and they will call you if they have a client that likes your face, fingers (for nail polish commercials), etc.
