Make a list of jobs that a 12 year old could do. Come up with a plan that allows you do to this job after all your school work is done, and allow a certain amount of hours. Coming up with a plan will show your maturity, and committment to put school first and your job second.
12 year old jobs (I have a 13 year old)
- Dog walking
- Laundry (my daughter does all the towels $5 per load)
- wash cars
- babysitting
- Take out garbage on garbage day
- Gardening

You are 12? There are plenty of handy little gigs you can do to bring in some spending money... babysitting, dog-walking... you name it. I know kids that created their own gigs by doing something as simple as charging a flat fee for picking up the doggy-poo from people's yards twice a week... 10 houses at $6 to $10 a week can be good money. The trick is to get your chores at home done, and keep your studies/grades up so you don't get in trouble.

12 years old and wanting a job? Nobody is going to hire you for anything but babysitting or mother's assistant jobs or cleaning. You will have your whole life to work...enjoy your childhood.
What about your homework? what about when you want to hang out with friends? You will find work less appealing the older you get.

they are afraid that you might spend all ur money from the job..all in one day...or they feel as if your not able to get there on time...and you won't be able to do anything on schhol nights if your working too much....
