I am 12 years old and I need a good paying job to help my mom pay the rent.

Not possible. At 12 you're too young to work in any job that would pay you enough to contribute to rent. The only jobs you could do are babysitting, dog walking, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, paper route, and the like. None of those jobs would pay enough to support your mother.

It's your mothers job to provide for you. Does your dad help with support?

But you can't get a job. You're a child. Where I live you have to be 13 to work at McDonalds, cleaning the floors, wiping the tables, taking out the garbage. That's the only job where I live that will allow a 13 year old to work. Everywhere else you have to be 16 or older, and you'll be making minimum wage, part time, about 16 hours a week if you're lucky. That's not enough to pay the mortgage.

Why does mom have 9 kids? Mom should keep her legs crossed since she obviously can't afford to support the children she's bringing into this world. This makes me mad. At 12 the only thing you should be worrying about is school, acne, hormones, and friends. Paying the bills isn't your responsibility, it's your parents responsibility. If they can't hack it, maybe they should stop reproducing!

That's 5. Who are the other 4?

Sorry, but we can add. You plus three plus one doesn't equal 9.

I'm sure your neighbors would like it if you offerd to cut there lawn for a few bucks :) make a sign for dog walking to! That would always be a good place to start.
