yes,i understand,but its my dad that is the problem,i have a paper in my wallet stating that i can work,at a grocery store fast food place and stuff,my dad always calls me lazy and im tired of it!
 
The problem is your age- there are labor laws. But there are things you CAN do even though you are only 14:
rake leaves
shovel snow
mow lawns
ask for other landscaping chores (there are lots)
petsit
housesit
get a newspaper route

These are the chores that I did when I was your age.
 
I do not know any company that will hire 14 year old. An employer can refuse to hire anyone based on age as long as they are under 18. If you are unwilling to mow lawns or clean houses then you will not be working.
