Yeah I get it. Ive got papers from my school saying I can work a certain amount of hours while in school like during the year. When schools out i can work like 40 hours a week, and even if I dont, i really want a job.

Try doing some volunteering so youve got the experience?
But honestly, in a competitive market few people are gonna hire a 15 year old if there are lots of other people wanting the job? Plus, now isnt the best time, because its likely youll need to start spending more time on your work over the next few years, and it might not be reasonable any more

What have you done to get a job? A lot of the jobs that you will be hired for (cleaning, waitressing, cashiers, etc) won't be advertised. You'll need to put in the legwork and ask every manager if they are hiring and if you could leave your CV for their consideration.

hire not higher, maybe you need to concentrate on school more?
But in all fairness you are 15 and probably have had no work experience before so that is why, and as said, you need to go round places and ask.

I appreciate it's an internet forum so you may not have been concentrating on spelling and grammar, but judging by this post, the spelling mistakes, missed apostrophes and so on, then I would not hire you. Get a good grounding in spelling, ask around places, and drop off a CV, get some work experience (voluntary if necessary) and then you stand a better chance of a job.
I don't know much about the US, but 40hrs a week for a kid wouldn't be legal here.
Finding jobs is hard for everyone; I'm 22, A-grade student, and have had proper jobs before and still can't find a summer job.
I second what everyone else has said; get some voluntary work under your belt in the meantime, and hopefully something will turn up.
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
I think that companies also want to hire older people as they have more experience and in most cases actually need money in order to feed their kids and keep a roof over their heads. Whereas teenagers just want some spending money and don't usually pay their parents for food or rent.

Its really not about spending money in all honesty. I would pay my parents rent. And I would help out. Thats mostly the reason I want a job, because WE need money. Not just myself. I could care less about spending money for myself.

I know how to spell. I wasnt paying attention to it seeing as I thought it unimportant to worry about on here. And Ive done voluntary work before. Im trying to get more expirence by finding atleast a summer job because my parents need the money and I want to help.

Oh. Hun.
I'm sorry to say it.
But most companies have a policy that is hireing is 16+. Something about insurance.
You could try fast food, I've heard they're more willing to let 14/15 work.
Talporia: during the school year it is, absolutely. During the summer standards for hours become more lax. 40hr/wk is also a fulltime job here, I think in Europe it's less for that.
I would also suggest things such as dog walking or babysitting. If you start small, you may end big. Plus it would look good on your CV cause your using your intuitive.
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
