Friends? I have no previous work experience. I need three references- so far I've thought to list my teacher and neighbor but have no idea if a peer would be suitable for a reference.
Serious answers only please. Thank you for your help.

I would recommend not put a friend down as a reference unless that friend works for the place where you are applying.
Your best references would be teachers, school counselors, and neighbors. If you've done volunteer work in the past, put a contact from that organization down as a reference. If you belong to any clubs or churches, put the leaders or ministers down as a reference.
I would also recommend that you ask the people if you can use them as a reference before you put them down on applications. You want to make sure that they are willing to be used as a reference, and that they will say nice things about you.

I would not list a peer. I think a teacher is a good idea. Also if you have ever volunteered for anything or a member of a club, sports etc. Someone that you have worked with in one of those situations is ideal. This will show that you can work with others and if you show up on time for games, babysitting etc, it is as good as work experience.

You might try fast food. Taco bell, burger king... Try retail: At the mall, shoe store, sears, Macy's, walmart. Try a fun place: a garden store, a book store, a Starbucks. Try a place you go to for your stuff: Kinko's, grocery store, home depot. Home depot is always hiring and they like weekend workers and part timers. Work in the garden center there or as a cashier. You would also met lots of guys.......

peers are not usually acceptable.
teachers and neighbors that like you. what the job is looking for is someone that can vouch for your character. try to put people on that you've known for awhile, cause one question is almost always how long have you known him?

I would say adults only, maybe some relatives with different last names, relatives that are well to do. **Never put down their relationship, just use associate and notify them that you are using them as references.

I'd go with adults whose credibility is solid. If you used your friends, your prospective employer wouldn't think they were old enough to decide. Teachers, faculty, coaches, community leaders, church if you go to one, etc.
