a home made whoopie cushion fashioned using a metal hanger bent in the shape of a "c", with two rubber bands attached to each end and a large plastic button in the middle. The button is twirled until the tension on the rubber bands is sufficient, then sit on the device in a leather or vinyl upholstered chair. When it's "go time", raise up off of the button enough to allow it to spin, causing a loud rapping noise, and voila!, a good time is had by all.

I find the market will bear a cost of 50 to 75 cents per device depending on what part of the country you reside in.

For earning money quick, one idea is to find a job that you can tolerate and where you can work with friendly people. Websites like Craigslist and Indeed can help in your search. You could also start an eBay store if you have anything worth value that you want to get rid of (I sold a bunch of brand new NFL jerseys I had in my closet on there for a couple of hundred bucks). As for long term goals, stay in school! It will make the search for a job you enjoy so much easier in the future.

If jobs for teens are hard to come by in your area (we're talking the usual fast-food and retail jobs), try making your own gig. There are dozens of ways you can make money if you are creative.

I know kids that make $6-$10 per week per yard, visiting a given yard twice a week, just picking up doggie-poo and bagging it up. We're talking a pooper-scooper and rubber gloves and a trash bag. The customer gets a poopie-free yard to entertain in, and you get income. Picture getting 20 such clients and how that will add up.
You can also supplement that with dog-walking, dog-training, and either dog/cat sitting on vacations or babysitting. Then there is flower bed preparing for each season (the customer buys the mulch and stuff and you provide the labor).

If you are on a PC, open up your Microsoft Office Suite and make a flyer for yourself listing your service offerings, print out a 1/2-page (8.5" x 5") flyer on some various colored paper and start knocking on doors in a likely local neighborhood.

1. get a job.
2. do casual waitressing after school or at weekends.
3. help others with their school work which is called coaching.
4. Mow all the lawns in your street for $20 (1 hours work)
5. learn to iron clothes beautifully..and charge $20 a basket.
6. Put out the garbage bins in your street, and the next street and the next, and then bring them in. Put them out, on your way to school and bring them in on your way home! charge, $2 a week per household. You can increase your streets as you competently can, and whilst $2 does'nt sound much, it actually adds up to an amazing amount!!!
All the currency is australian dollars!!

You don't say how old you are, but there are lots of jobs out there for teen-agers. You could baby-sit, house-sit, clean houses, work in some dept. stores that would work around your school hours if you are in school. I don't know what type of skills you have, but there may be work that you can do from home such as typing term papers, etc. I am sure you can think of something that you could do to earn some money. Good luck.

There are a few ways. Paper route... or you could sub for a friend a few days. You could babysit, ask your parents to talk to people they work with... You could talk to your parents about doing extra chores around the house for a few extra dollars... or if your old enough you could get a real job.

they should pay you for good grades or progress reports. or babysit for a family friends kids. if you get a job,job, it's gonna take your focus off of school. plus i don't believe you should get paid for choirs. you're supposed to help out. my sis makes money for writing songs and drawing pics on a certain website for her friends. if all else fails, you can always stand on a street corner. just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if they are too annoyed, do something that will get them even more pist off, be a stripper or prostitute.....ever see the movies with drug lords and bank robbers, ask them if that's cool too, if you want less jail time, go work somewhere that will pay you close to nothing and treat you like a slave
