I think my youngest step sister worked in a fish and chip shop when she was 14, think she could only do limited hours though.

Hi Annaarrr,

There are lots of rules about working when you are still at school.

There are a list of them here:

There is also information on the Connexions website:

Hope this helps,

i think you have to be 16 for basically all or its illegal
i dono when i was under 16 all i could get was paper round or handing out leaflets which is rubbish
also theres like no jobs around at the moment anyway, i'm 18 and been looking for months and theress like none lol
good luck though but thinkyou may just have to wait and enjoy spongeing off your parents for a bit longer, take advantage of it while you can lol

also you could try looking in shop windows for people who need babysitters and stuff , aslong as you like kids, or like some people want cleaners and stuff
