It's  been a rocky introduction to life in the limelight for 17-year-old Top Model contender Rosanagh Wypych.

Many teenagers make poor decisions, but hers have also come under the glare of the New Zealand's Next Top Model spotlight. First was a drink-driving conviction, which she admitted in an orchestrated women's magazine interview, saying she'd learned from her traumatic experience in court just months before.

It didn't take long for media to be alerted to the other convictions she - or possibly those advising her - chose to conceal: that she'd also been caught driving while disqualified and given false details to police. That earned her another set of unpleasant headlines.

But all the while, Rosanagh was posting photos of herself on her Facebook page partying with friends, many of them clutching open cans of booze, and, in one image, a substance that looked a lot like cannabis.

Most of the dozens of photos on the surprisingly public Facebook page - open to nearly 4000 friends and all of their friends - were of Rosanagh and friends taking photos of themselves at parties.

Ever since Rosanagh was accepted for Top Model, she has not been a typical teenage girl. Having 3800 Facebook friends is not typical. And given the untypical situation she's been thrown into, you would hope she would be getting better advice.
