Legal Considerations:
Not many people are aware that they break the law when they work without fulfilling the basic requirements that involve teenage work. So let us seewhat this is actually. Note this is not an exhaustive list and hence for accuracy you should check with your local guardian or legal advisor (at school or at any social center). Also be aware the each State & Country may have different laws that cover teenagers working conditions.
Timings: Teenagers below 14 years old are usually not encouraged to work in offices. For those above 14 and above they should not be working at night. The legal hours are any time between 7 am to 7 PM ' of course ensuring that school is taken care of. Those between 16-19 years of age can be free to work as much and as long as they please. Howevergirls should always be wary and careful when working nights as crime increases at night.
Work areas: Teenagers may work anywhere they can be engaged with the exception of places where they could endanger themselves or others, such as construction sites, repair sites or garages, chemical and other types of processing, mining, messenger jobs, warehousing, adult clubs and bars.
Social security number: There are places where teens need a social security number to receive paymentTaxes: Most of the time teen jobs do not involve tax payments and need not have any dedication in the paychecks. However you need to consult the local IRS to ascertain this.
Each state and country has its own set of rules and what is valid in one may not be in another. Do not take anything for granted. Keep in mind that legal aspects are serious matters and you do need complication with the law. Check and be sure you fulfill all the legal formalities applicable for teenagers before you even apply for work. Ask the help of a responsible adults, such as your parents, teachers, or relatives and seek out the correct answers - >> no such thing as a stupid question <<

I wish you the best and always be alert, putting Safety first !!

clear out your room and find some stuff that you dont want. ask the rest of your family and even friends to do the same thing. clean out the family storage area like the basement, attic or storeroom and have a huge yard sale.
you can also put up posters (with you parents permission) to do babysitting. it summer and people will want to get out for the last month and have as much fun as possible before school starts again.
this summer, my dad paid me to tutor my little brother and keep him learning until school starts. it may be a little late, but it;s a good idea for next year if you yourself are a good student in class.

I'll get bac 2 you when I think of more ideas. by the way, are you trying to save up money for something?
