Being in the "public eye" as a model can be just what you want...sometimes!
Other times, negative comments and criticism towards models can come from many directions...an agency's opinion, photographers' opinion, clients' opinion, family's opinion, friends' opinions, partner's opinion, other models' opinions, the public's opinion, as well as feminists' opinions, etc.
Not everyone will share the same experiences with out-right negative criticisms, but sometimes it's the subtle "comments" that people make that can give you that "hmmmm" questionable feeling. Try to keep your thoughts on what you are working on....you'll know if you have the endurance to tolerate the ups and downs, but consider that most modeling careers are short-lived. Do as much as you can WHILE you can, but if you find it affecting how you feel about your self-esteem...move on to find what makes you feel best. - A.K.A. Models Edu. Series
