Apparently Tessa Violet (whom you've never heard of) started as a 17-year-old fashion model who moved to Hong Kong to be a fashion model.

I can't imagine a scenario where a 17-year-old moved to Hong Kong to be a fashion model and wasn't somehow abused or taken advantage of.

I mean, I hear "teenager moving to Asia to be a fashion model" and I think "Oh, that's going to turn out poorly." Right?

there are plenty of people who do that and have good experiences. if they go with reputable agencies who protect them, etc. (and I remember when she won a yt contest several years ago.) -- nm* - b. Jan 17, 11:20 4
