I do it a lot, and I see some girls, just be REALLY CAREFUL. Have your parents number on speed-dial and have your phone with you always, also wear comfy shoes so if you need to run, you can! Just give yourself a spending and time limit and try to stick near to wear a lot of people are, don't talk to strangers (apart from the person at the till...) and if you are standing by yourself call one of your friends and just chat...this will make potential strangers/pedophiles go away as you are in contact with others...I think so any way haha. Also, try to get a map of the shopping centre so you won't get lost. I'm 13 and girl too and I go shopping all the time alone. Just be very careful and always keep an eye out for creepy people! Good luck!

No. If your from the USA all states require you to be at least 15 with the proper documents. Most will hire 16 year olds and up. Unless you know someone who owns their own resturant or store who might give you an easy job like sweeping then no. Try starting up yur own business. It's summer time so wash cars, sell candy, or sell ice cream. At your age I was washing bikes and cleaning up lawns.

Not legally. If you have a family member that wants to exploit you and have you work at that age, then that's another story. Anyway 11 is not old enough. Fast food places are dangerous. Lots of hot things, knives and so on...

No. At least in the state of Oregon. For instance @ McDonalds, you have to be over 16 just to work the grills...15yr olds work cash register. Try a agricultural job. They seem to have lower age limits because it's hard work. I know broccoli and blueberry pickers have to be 12.

Technically no, since child labor laws wouldn't allow for an 11 year old to work.
There are ways to get around it though...1) family owned business can employ a family member under the law requirement. (2) as with immigrants, just hire and pay him cash wages.
As you can see, rules were ment to be broken...At least for some.
Good luck!!!!

No, but if the shop is owned by their parents then they can start working there at age 12.

In the US there are child labor laws. Any employer who hires you, or anyone else under 15 will go to jail. If they make you sign a contract.
