Most states require that a minor child be at least 16 to obtain a work permit. Very few allow children of 14 or 15 to work. When you are older, check with your high school guidance counselor on your state’s requirements to obtain a work permit. You will need your parents’ written permission to apply for such a permit.

BTW, this only applies if you are a US citizen or legal permanent resident. Children of foreigners, for example, dependents of foreigners with employment visas, are strictly forbidden to work and cannot obtain permission from immigration authorities to work under any circumstances.

And if you want a job in the future, start working harder in school. You need to learn to write and spell or you will not even be able to complete a job application properly. If you cannot fill out a job application, you cannot get any job at all.

    You need to be 13 to use this site, not 12.
    You must be 14 before you can apply for working papers
    You must be 16 before you can work around machinery

    hardly any place is going to hire you before age 16
    you need working papers below age 18 and child labor laws are very strict in the type of work you are allowed to do at age 14-15 and the hours you can work and when

    you spelled "know" wrong in your last sentence and published wrong before that
