Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
well obviously if you're sending questions to people you do not even know, you have no life anyway so you may as well go and plant some flowers. they'll be better listeners anyway and won't tell you how ugly and social-lifeless you are. dude, you don't even have any friends. i bet you don't even have a boyfriend. i bet you have a bunch of zits and live in a dark corner in Hicksville. get a life, you're not TOO YOUNG. grocery stores pay like two dollars every five hours so it's better to just plant flowers and make your mom happy. you never know maybe you'll find a decent boyfriend on the farm. or at least a hick with pimples like you

How about, rather then refusing to work, you try negotiating with your mother about how much you work. You're right, you're still young and there's no reason to work every day at your age, maybe two or three days a week. That will give you some extra money and you'll still have plenty of time to hang out.
Getting a job is part of growing up, a part that you are probably ready for. Our parent's jobs are to push us forward, make us experience new things and yeah, you gotta learn how to balance work and social life at some point.
Your mom probably wants you to have a bit of a saving you can draw from for special things you want and she is doing you a huge favor by just handing you a job! Job hunting is hard work, I wish my mom had just said "Show up and get paid." All she said was "Your ready now, no more allowance, go find work." and I did.
Just make sure the amount of work is the right amount for you. I promise you you will have so much more fun hanging out with your friends if you have some money to do stuff with.

It would be a nice gesture to help out your mother. Things are different for you now, you're 14, and if you want to be treated like an adult (as I'm sure you do) then you should be acting like one! At 13, yes, summer was a time to hang out with friends and have fun... but you're older now, and you should be learning work ethic.
Laziness is not an excuse for ANYTHING. If you want to go anywhere in life, you have to develop good work ethic, so your mother is only trying to help. It's really not that bad, you'll be earning lots of money to put towards your future, and you'll be able to do more fun things with your friends in your free time because you'll have the money.
You should give working a shot, you really should. Having experience will give you an edge when it comes to trying to find a job in the future.
