Get your friends to come over and ask your parents if you can go eat somewhere with that friend. Then act like you just remembered and say "but I don't have money!" Get your friend to pull out alot of money and say "I'm working at (somewhere) and I've been saving up. And later that night bring it up with your parents. If that doesn't work........ beg! Luv ALws, Lizz  |

Maybe they mean earning it by helping around the house. Start by doing that, I dunno the situation, maybe you do help already but try taking care of your room and your own clothes and also by taking on more chores and perhaps they will see you're mature enough and ready to get a real job.  |

Maybe you should sit down and talk with them, bring up why you think its a good idea you should work, and ask them what their concerns may be. If they are wanting YOU to pay for your own things, that money isn't going to come out of thin air. Good Luck!   |

Get one of your-15-yr old friends to come over and *tell* your parents he has a job down at one of those places that hires teens...  |

At 15 you probably shouldn't have a job. No matter how much you swear it's not going to interfere with school, they always do which is most likely their concern. You probably need to earn some money in other ways like shoveling sidewalks, raking leaves, yardwork and babysitting before venturing out and getting a real on the books kind of job.  |

I've never had this problem. I've had a job since I've been 14. Perhaps you could do some little things around the house to show that you are responsible .. And also, what the others said about having a friend come over.  |

Wait until you're of age and leave! Give them a big raspberry as you go. You need to find out what life is like on the outside.... then you'll wish your Mom was still doing your laundry.  |

Ask them to let you try it on a trial basis  |
