I am 22 and when I was about your age I had friends who did paper routes. I also babysat or mowed lawns. They aren't the best jobs to have but you make some money. You could try to advertise for mowing lawns or cleaning. Good Luck with the job hunting!

You should not expect your parents to pay you for helping around the house. That is something you should be doing anyway.
Jobs you can do for neighbors: Mowing lawns, walking pets, washing cars, and babysitting (if you are a responsible kid).
You may find it difficult to get a job at 14 because most jobs require you have skills. It does not hurt to ask. Try jobs that do not require a college education, such as fast food, grocery stores, shops, etc.
One way to build your skills is through volunteering. You will not get paid but you will learn valuable skills that will help you get a job someday. Maybe your parents will agree to compensate you for volunteering. They can consider it a donation to a good cause.
A great site is http://www.volunteermatch.org/
If you are adventurous, you can try running your own internet business by buying things at garage sales and selling them online at http://www.ebay.com . Research what things are selling for on ebay before purchasing. (Also, avoid buying stuff on ebay or you will spend more than you make.) I suggest you specialize in a few items: specific toys, books, etc. You are going to become an expect so pick a category that you really enjoy. (When you see a bargain you will know it!) Be certain to check the website daily to make certain your customers are happy. To make a profit you will need to calculate the costs: ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging materials, and postage.
Good luck!

There are some jobs that teens are allowed to get... such as mowing lawns, sell stuff on eBay, design websites, write books....
Maybe if your parents don't believe in allowance they may be willing to help you in finding some kind of job? Child labor laws are good but there should be some things teens can do... I mean I worked for a state park cutting weeds when I was 15...

start a company, then you would reap the profits, not as an employee but as the CEO. Come up with a money-making idea! And while you're at it, how about making it one that serves the public good too? We need all the smart and humanitarian young minds we can find to go forward in society!
Oh, and do NOT answer internet scams or anything that wants you to give THEM money before they'll employ you!

When I was young I made money by babysitting. A friend hires kids to do odd jobs around his house that he can't do, and some others also hire kids to do yard work. Check with elderly neighbors and relatives. You might have some luck there.

I dont know how responisble you are but you could try babysitting, or other jobs like bailing hay that you get paid under the table. You can get a job reffing soccer games or other sports games. You have to be over 12 to do that so you can do that.
