Your parents will have to get representation with a modeling agency in your area. You can't do any sort of modeling work without parental permission until you are over 18. There is a list of modeling agencies by state on this page:

Your parents will also have to investigate these agencies to see if they're legitimate. Any that are operating "modeling schools", or asking for a lot of upfront money, are to be avoided. An agency should only get paid by a percentage of the work they find for you.

Just as an aside---it's a very competitive business. Each agency is going to have their own physical requirements that models have to meet. Being willing to work hard is all well and good, but working hard will not make you tall enough for most fashion work. That's just reality. Most agencies are going to want under 16s to be over 5'7" and over 16s to be 5'9" or above.
