How to make money during fall at 14?

I'm a freshman in high school and my iPod touch got stolen. I can't get a real job right now because I don't have a car and my parents refuse to let me work my freshman year. I need about $250 just for a new iPod, I was already saving up for a new guitar before this, so I hope to make 1250 by spring, at the latest.

    How about this? Most kids our age like pop our Monster, Rockstar, or other energy drinks or even just candy. This may take a while but find something kids are willing to buy and add what...25-50cents on the price. This worked for me pretty well. Example, a 12 pack of pop costs around 2.99 i think. If u buy each pop individually thats around 25cents a can. so buy a twelve pack and charge 50cents a can. by the time you sell 12 cans of pop for 50cents you will have 6.00$ bucks. the thing that makes this idea successful is because normally a pop at a vending maching or such will cost 1.50$ so kids will see a great deal, and you'll see a great deal too. *note* : you dont have to sell pop. you could try anything indiviualy packaged. i would try and stay away from candy though because the packs are so expensive that you would have to sell the packages for too much. pop works best.

    Hope this works for you! good luck!

    If you can't be traditionally hired, you have to do little jobs for other people (like cleaning). There's also selling stuff for people. You know how girl scouts raise money by selling cookies? Like that. I know someone who might hire you to sell custom-designed button pins for her (Like the kind that say "I love ___" and people can get whatever they want in the blank). My little brother does it at school and on facebook and gets like $50 a week. If you're interested, you should email me with the link on my profile. Maybe try to gather stuff you don't want and have a yardsale too.
