How can 13 year olds make money safely and fast?

Me and my friend both want to purchase our very own first computers. Nothing has ever been handed to us so our parents told us we have to work for the money. Does anyone know some FUN and safe, easy and fast ways to make money when you are 13 years old and not old enough for a real job? We both love to write with a passion and heard about teenagers getting paid money to write articles for websites... ( right up our alley) but we don't know how to start this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Update:

I live in an area where you don't know your neighbors and the roads are all dirt and you have no where to put up fliers so babysitting and pet care and stuff is all out of the question.

    Why not consider picking up dog droppings as a part of your own business? You can earn upwards of $20 an hour, and all you need are a few tools a bicycle, and perhaps a bicycle trailer.

    advertise for babysitting and petsitting jobs - just put out fliers and things. those are pretty fun jobs, but you need to have regular times to do them by if you want to make a lot of money.

    12-year-olds and 13-year-olds, can get jobs picking crops on farms...................... crops like oranges and peanuts and grapes and almonds.

    In most places in the U.S., only 16-year-olds can work a job. But on farms, 12-year-olds can work a job.
