How to make money as a teen?

I have a problem because I'm not yet old enough to work at the mall or local food places. Plus, in my neighborhood everyone has hired adult nannys and babysitters, and lawn care comes with dues for the neighborhood. Also, yard sales are only allowed on the two days a year set by the neighborhood. There are also very few pets in my neighborhood, and those people who do have pets also have kids who walk them. My neighborhood is the worst place to do conventional money making ideas. Everyone has hired adults for those things. Molly Maid visits nearly every house too! I have absolutly no ideas, please help! Joey J- I'm only a few months too young to work at the mall or food places. You have to be sixteen, and I want to save up money for a car. That's not exactly small change that I can beg from my parents. Plus, my parents don't have so much a dollar to spare.

4. If you haven any busy friends in other neighboorhoods who have younger siblings or babysit other kids, tell them you would be happy to babysit for them! If they are unsure because they want the money, say you could give them a certain amount. like, 10% or something, depending on how much you make. If you are around 13-14, find a retirement home. They usually pay alot because so many older people love having younger people around them. Email me for even more tips!
5. if you're not old enough to work, then i suggest you just to keep continuing to bug your parents for money. with money comes responsibility's. if you're not old enough to legally start working, you really don't need the money that bad. i suggest you just keeping your room, and keeping the house clean for your parents. maybe they'll slide you some bucks every now and then if you do a good job. but by the way it sounds even if you wanted a job right now you couldn't get one.
