If you are a teenager without a job, you probably do not have much extra money. Sometimes parents will give their children pocket money for doing small housework, but it is often not enough once the children grow into teenagers and want to do things with their friends all of the time. How to make money is an important thing for teens to learn. If you're wondering how a teenager can make good money, some ideas might be:
Getting a part-time job at a local restaurant or store is always a sure way to make money as a teen. But getting a job somewhere like this might be hard, considering many jobs in local stores are being taken by adults more and more often.
Doing landscaping (绿化) is something that most adults do not like to do, and teens can usually find jobs around their neighborhood doing the landscaping of friends and family.
Some teens are good at something such as writing or photography. These teens can make money by doing things such as writing articles for newspapers or magazines or selling their photos online.
Teens who live in a country area can earn money by helping out on farms, or they can try raising their own animals such as chickens, and selling them or their products.
Looking for jobs can seem hard at first, but if you have a try, it should not be too hard to find a job or way to make money.

Schedule a fun activity. If you are sitting around your house lying on the sofa, it will be much more likely for that anxiety to creep in. It can be your favorite hobby, or you may go to the movies, spend time outside or drink with friends.
Try planning your week in advance by setting goals and deadlines for the week ahead. Clean out your inbox so you can start fresh on Monday. You can even write emails and send them at a future date. By organizing your thoughts and preparing for upcoming meetings, it will help set you up for a good weekend.

Start by examining why you are experiencing that fear. Are you overwhelmed (压垮) by your work? Is your boss a nightmare to work for? Once you get to the root of your problem, you can do something about it. It may even be time to consider starting a business so you can experience the freedom, flexibility and fulfillment of being your own boss.
