Jobs for young students
Hey, I'm almost fourteen, and since formal is coming I want to be able to buy stuff like makeup and shoes, I could ask money from my parents, but I feel bad about it though we are not poor or anything, they already paid for my dress and formal ticket, so I feel bad about asking for more, I know I'm probably too young for a proper job, but do any of you know any jobs for people my age???

Jobs for people your age fall to doing tasks and chores for neighbors or extended family members per your parents okay. They need to be sure you are safe. The elderly often need help but some may not have much spare to pay with. Then theres always the chores that people don't like to do, like if they have a dog, scooping up the poop in the yard. I read a story of two sisters about 8 and 10 whose parents knew the neighbors well whom they did this for and the news got out and more neighbors of all ages were wanting their services. Its doesnt have to be poop scooping but anything else a person does not enjoy doing. Work is work and most often never enjoyable but thats how to get money.
If you are great at using smart phones, the older people who are getting one will need some training and help with how to use it. I am in that spot and luckily have daughters who can help me if I get stuck. Theres also Christmas coming and neighbors may want to put up their lights but not have the time or energy and you may be able to do some of that, not dangerous stuff like climbing ladder to put lights on the gutter or on a tree tho. Dog owners may only like walking the dog in fair weather but dogs need to get their exercise every day. Offer dog walking. Also with the season, There may be left over leaves to rake or more likely snow to shovel if you live somewhere where that is an issue. I know it all sounds like hard work just to get the shoes and makeup you want but welcome to the adult world, we do what we have to do to pay the bills and make ends meet. It may not be easy by the end result is pride in having accomplished this yourself. A few friends may even be jealous and want to earn their own money and do the same or perhaps t wo of you can team up to offer whatever services you decide on and it makes the job more fun to have a friend along for companionship as long as you focus on your task. Good luck dear.
