Since you have a computer, maybe get her in to selling her old clothing, toys, and other items on ebay. She can work from home and be safe. Good Luck!

Hey Wondering,
I think it's great that you're trying to find a job.
I live in Texas and work for a school system. The kids are always asking for money and when I say to some of them, "Go out and get a job if you need $.50 that bad." The answer, "We're too young to work." Of course, they're only junior high age but I commented, "You can mow lawns, clean houses, or haul hay." The response, "We don't do that." Hmmmm! Now these definitely sound like welfare cases to me and at such a young age, they're already learning how to take advantage of the system thanks to their delightful parents. Or else they don't do that because they're not white.
It is definitely a crazy world out there with adults getting lazier and lazier and their children learning all the wrong values from them.
Kudos to you to want to work and to your parents for raising you right. That's what my chldren did too, and they're only better for it today as adults adding to society, not taking away from it.
Good luck to you in your search. I wish I could tell you where to apply but since I live in TX and only wish I lived in WV, I'm no help.
And thanks too to the few that have commented nicely to you. By the way "wondering", YOU are not arrogant!!

You should find plenty of work with arrogance like that. Just go down to the welfare office and beg for money like every other West Virginian does. Just don't tell them you want to work or they will think you're from out of state.

Good gracious. How can you even talk like this to a 15 year old? She posts on the forum to get insight on jobs and all you do is insult her and everyone else.
No, people from Texas are not psychic. It's obvious she isn't arrogant, just looking for work and then getting disgusting remarks from someone that I'm supposing is an adult in years.
Give the kid a break; most of them nowadays are way too lazy to work and just want more from their parents and of course, many parents are enablers and are making them into helpless no accounts.
I don't know you, but I'll pray for you anyway!
