I need to make $200 to buy my cellphone and I already have money saved up, but that is how much more I need. I need to know how to make it quickly like in a week. Just 1 or 1 1/2 weeks.

Cleaning, kitchenwork, packing, running errands, gardening, babysitting, newspaper delivery are some of the jobs available. These jobs will be posted in local newspapers and billboards. Many businesses hesitate to employ minors because of the legal restrictions on working hours and documentation required.
A better option is to work from home on your computer - write articles, sell on eBay, make a website, take surveys. In some cases, you may have to set up an account in your parents or guardians name, and ask them to pay you, after they get the money for your work.

Ask your parents - or other family members - if you can do extra work to earn the money. You might have to work your butt off cleaning a toilet or weeding the garden, but it just might work.
Be sure to tell them that you don't expect them to buy you all of your luxuries, but that you are willing to earn them with a little sweat. Be sure to be sincere, and I'm sure they will appreciate your work ethic.
Good luck! And by the way, I think it's great that you are willing to spend your own money! Make sure you are getting a decent deal on the phone - - - not just the one that is cool today. They come out with new cell phones all the time, so you never know how long yours is going to be the "in" phone.

Try babysitting, dog walking, things like that. If you work hard you can easily make the $200 in 1-1.5 weeks. Good luck

Garage sell is always fun, ask your parents if they have some junk that they want sold and sell some of your unwanted stuff. Ask Mom & Dad or whoever to do little jobs. $20 here $30 there will add up in no time

You mean you will die if you don't have a $400 cell phone by school start? Wait - the only way to raise $200 that quick is illegal all over the place.

Don't you think that is a very expensive phone to own-- for you right now? You're very young.
