It is considered traditional for a teenager to be employed in the fast food, grocery, or labor intensive feild of jobs, usually making minimum wage. So how does a person with no licesne and a few good skills pay for their expences? Some people say that teenagers have no expences, maybe most don't, but I do; I want to be independent. Please give all thoughts on the subject. Thank you!

Want to be independent is a good thought I guess. I thought about that too everyday in my life now. That is why I am trying so hard to make money online and invest the money somewhere so that I can get it doubled or maybe tripled. I never have any thought of getting any part time job in my country since the wage is too low, I can even get a better earnings by posting in myLot with the same work hour as they do.
But still, I think being able to make extra money is not necessarily shows your ability to be independent. Because life is not merely the money, but also the psychological readiness to face things in the real world

there are a number of ways that a teenager can earn cash during their free time, some of which are the ones you already mentioned... it may not seem much but it's better than earning none at all... however, if you want to earn more, i suggest you become a teen entrepreneur... you can start a business with your savings... if it isn't enough, convince some of your friends to start a business with you, pool your savings together to have more moeny as your capital... then brainstorm with your friends on what kind of business you want to start... businesses doesn't have to be big, it just have to be feasible enough for you to start it...:)
