    Maybe check with friends and neighbors that have pets and see if they will pay you to walk their pets. I know people that actually run a business walking dogs. You could possibly even come up with some other ideas on things to do with pets that would make money like bathing them or baby sitting them.

    With walking pets you don't have to bring them to your house.

    Ask around for odd jobs like washing lawn furniture, washing cars inside and out (mine needs that desperately), vacuuming them out, helping plant flowers, digging dandelions, pulling grass and weeds around flagstones, washing toys, mopping floors for elderly neighbors or relatives, cleaning their bathrooms, washing woodwork. Come to my house; I'll keep you busy.

    A bad case indeed but I have jealousy to my brother he is 14 and getting a job and I am REALLY jealous (this is not why I want to get a job) is there anything else you can think of?

    What I suggested will fill up your summer. Start asking around and making deals with people. Jobs will not drop into your lap.

    I'm shy and I don't feel comfortable with asking people if I can do stuff I don't want to keep turning you down like this and I know I must seem mean but I am really a kind person these soulotions just won't work for me though

    Well, I think it's time to stop being shy, especially if you are as tall as you say you are.

    Would your mom pay you for doing extra stuff around the house?
