That really depends on your maturity level.\nAs a parent, I look at age and maturity.  Do you know what to do in case of an emergency? Have you taken any babysitting classes? CPR??\nOnly you know if you're mature enough.  And, if you are, consider taking some classes--it makes yourself look responsible! After you've taken classes, advertise in your local newspaper.  Good babysitters are really hard to find! ;0)

You could try the local newspaper office. They are always looking for kids to sell subscriptions, deliver newspapers, or other things. Also, you might want to try a workforce center in your town - they might not be able to help you given your age, but they can point you in the right direction. As for the babysitting thing, why don't you get your mom's permission and hang up flyers at your church (if you go) or at mom/dad's work (if they will allow you to do so)? It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep your head up, you'll get it. Good luck!

actually, when  enter ur teens u start getting more responsibilities and more opportunities and chances to do things u weren't allowed when u were just 12. about the phone calls, then, i don't know. my parents care abot me but they dont get all suspicious or want to know who it is even if it is a guy. my dad would only ask just to tease me and ask if he likes me *rolling eyes* lol. 13 is still young but not too young. sometimes it really gets to me. (being too young to do anything)

When i was 13 i was babysitting and i got 45.00 a week. Ask a friend about doing that, or cleaning someones house.

I think that you should respect your parents call on this one hun...sorry.  You are only 13, and your parents love you and are protecting you from experiances that you are not yet ready to handle.

I don't think you're legally old enough to get a job, except for babysitting and mowing lawns.

It depends on how under-aged you are. Some places around here hire summer help at 14 years old. You could always offer to do housework for friends and family. You don't want to go up to people you don't know, but it is generally safe to assume that your parents wouldn't direct you somewhere unsafe. \nYou could clean, rake leaves, shovel...\nYou could also get a paper route. They hire real young for that. Our paper boy is like 8.

There are only two states (Illinois and Maryland) that have laws about ages for babysitting. Otherwise, there are simply guidelines. Maturity varies alot, particularly at the ages people start to let children babysit, so it depends entirely on the child. If you leave your child with someone who is not capable and something happens, you could be charged with child neglect/endangerment.

Why in the world would you want to work at age 12? Enjoy your childhood - you have plenty of years of work ahead of you, believe it. Otherwise, how about babysitting??

Personally I think below 13 is kind of too young.
