I don't know if you are into sports or anything like that, but I would suggest referreing sporting games for little kids. I referee both basketball and soccer, and make around twenty bucks a game. All you have to do is take a one day class to make sure you know the rules of the sport, and you are on making money. I have referreed since I was 12, and that was how I made most of my money as a teen.

buy and sell things on ebay... If you are still at school you can buy things people want such as cans of drink.. buy 4 for £1 in england and sell them 50P each

There are many ways for a 14-16 year old to make money. Try babysitting, especially for someone you know, they will be more willing to allow you to watch their kids if they know you. Also ask to help an elderly or disabled person if they need help, shopping, cleaning, lawn work, or other every day chores, they love to help young people. Or there are some companies that hire younger teens, for instance Burger King, McDonalds, and Super Markets....Hope this helped in some way and good luck finding a job..

Look in the local paper. There are lots of part time jobs available for students. Mowing lawns, pet walking. These usually have notices up in the grocery stores. Look at the bulletin boards there. You may find something. There is always babysitting.

Where you live in the USA determines what age you can start working at. Some places as low as 14 years old. In addition to the previously mentioned great suggestions, my son, and a few of his friends pick up extra work doing freelance coding, web design, etc. and they are 14-16. You are only limited by your imagination, ethics and laws. Good luck 011baby!

Go out into your community and see if you can help people out by mowing their grass, cleaning their house, cleaning windows, wash their cars. There's all sorts of things you can do. If you are 16 and in the US, it's legal to get a job like at fast food restaurants, etc. Give those a try. I'm sure if you put your mind to work, you will come up with something. :) Good luck :)
