friendly, persistent, and have skills in alot of sports.
theres just one problem. during normal school weeks i have a very full
week.
Monday: baseball (depending on season)
Tuesday: Lacrosse (depending on season)

Friday: Cadets
Saturday: lacrosse game (depending on season)

anyone who can pay you to help them out? like freelance, only, "not

but can't, because they busy, or can't do it.. its a start.. favor for a
favor, work for people, get paid.. and you don't even have to work for
weeks to get paid..

well first, Wednesday, replace
karate with taekwondo, maybe you could start a potatoe farm in your
backyard and make chips and start a chip stand, cut up some potatoes,
deep fry em and voila! chips, an inexpensive way to make money. your mum
will like it! (my sincerest apologies if you don't have a mother)
and if that doesn't work, go up to a kid and tell em you'll give em a
piggy back for 5 bucks, he will then proceed to whine to his mum until
she finally gives in! 5 bucks! and the piggy back doesn't even have to
last that long! and half way you could just fall backwards! perfect
recipe for holiday fun! and a lawsuit for illegal, unlicensed
transportation of kids and homicide. LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!

i'm
14 too, and i usually babysit or sell cookies to earn some money..
you should do babysitting too, at night since u have a lot of activities
during the day! But my social life went a little bit down, because
while some people were partying i had to babysit... but i really needed
that money so yeah...
and selling cookies; it's rather fun! well i did that with a friend and
we earned a lot, after a whole weekend of ringing people's doorbells :D

Live
your age dear...live your life and don't think about how to make money,
unless you are in a hopeless financial situation and you need to help
your parents but in this case I think you have to sacrifice some of your
activities...if things are not that serious, I recommend you stop
thinking this way, try to have fun in each and every minute of your
life, because in 3 to 4 years from now you will have to work your ass
out day and night for college and part time job...

Making
money at any age is not the easiest achievement. Sure, you can take on a
holiday job but usually that income is small and your effort does not
often match the remuneration.
If you have identified that your financial needs outstrips your
allowance or current income, I would advise that you take the first
steps to securing a steady income for yourself through the internet.
Sure it is not going to happen overnight but with a little effort now,
you will reap the rewards in the next few months.
The income potential of blogging, affiliate marketing and other money
making options online is a realistic and potentially profitable venture.
I speak from experience. What was an online hobby, has now become a
serious flow of income and I still keep my day job. In your case that
means that you will still be able to focus on school and activities
which is very important for your future.
In your case, it would fit in quite well with your hectic schedule and
extracurricular activities. An hour a day can often earn you enough
money to meet your basic needs. I would advise that you visit the site
below to explore all your options on making money online and see what
suits you best.
My advice though is that you are still young. Enjoy life and don't get
too engrossed in money and related issues.
