Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
you can always go to your HS guidance office
local places sometimes post things if they are looking for teenage employees.
other than that, you can work at a camp (usually for summer only) or your library?
the person below me had better ideas hah

Most commonly, places like KFC, McDonald's, or cafés hire young workers. The only reason some employers don't take young employees, is because they don't act as maturely, and they have to work around the employee's hours of availability because of school. On the other hand, they get to pay you less, so a lot of them like that.
You need to figure out all of your academic marks that would be useful (so say if you're in grade 10, maybe include from grade 8 or something). Also, any awards, or special things you've done that will make employers think you are better than any of the other 14 year olds applying for the same job.
Write yourself a simple resume (guides on the internet all over the place), and look up the jobs sections in a newspaper. If you're lucky, there will be several positions which say "junior somethingorother required", those are the people you apply to. You should probably also write cover letters for your applications.
Often, if a resume doesn't come with a cover letter, it just gets chucked out by managers (they might be a little less worried when you're younger), but if you write a good, short cover letter, that gives them the impression that you will be a good worker, then you're almost sure to get an interview or trial with them.
The one thing to remember that got me my first job; you have to be the best person at telling the hiring manager what they want to hear about you - which is that you will work well, because of reasons a, b, and c.
Good luck
