Wel-l-l-l-l-l.... there is one thing I did that earned me "a lot of money" for that age... I actually started when I was 10 years old:
I borrowed an unpowered lawn mower and mowed lawns for $5 until I could buy my own lawnmower! By summer's end I had a quite sizeable savings for a person my age at the time.
If you know anything about gardening, you could also ask people if you can do gardening for someone lazy who does not keep up their gardens, and you can usually tell in front what it looks like in back. Of course, maybe they do not keep up their yard because they do not want to spend EITHER their time OR their money on caring for their property?
A wildshot would be the elderly, you could run errands such as helping to clean up their house, their yard, buying groceries and the like for a fee. You are going to have to be dependable and stipulate that you do not move any heavy furniture or dispose of anything that cannot go into the trash.
If you are into business and have some money, you could go around to garage sales in the neighborhood and purchase good things cheap that you know are underpriced, and when you get enough, hold a garage sale of your own at double the price for each item you paid for! Better check with your parents however, because city permits may be required and also sales taxes in some cases! It's a good way to learn business and the value of things... some nice things do not sell well and some pathetic things actually do sell -- for instance, when I sold things at a swap meet, one man decided to go home and he had this pathetic looking wooden bed frame head and foot board that had glued paper simulated wooden patterns on it under the varnish. It looked really cheap and a little beaten up. He asked me if I wanted it for free! I said I'd give it a try. Not twenty minutes later, some guy (over the objections of his wife) bought it from me for $5 and I had gotten it for free! You can NEVER tell! Check out the swap meets first and see what people are BUYING (not necessarily selling!) and then keep that in mind when you go around town to garage sales to buy your merchandise!

Well first off, do you get an allowance from your parents? Are there chores that they would let you do for an allowance? If you don't know, ask them. You have to prove to them that you are willing to work for your money, you know what I'm saying? Anyone in your neighborhood have dogs? I never did it, but my friend used to walk dogs. She made quite a bit of money doing it because she was doing something that needed to be done, but nobody had the time to do it. Cleaning houses is another way. If you don't know any of your neighbors enough, then do you have any other family members that would let you clean their houses? This way you can get some experience and references that you can show neighbors. Then of course there is always mowing, raking, etc. Good luck hun. Hope I helped out atleast a little. Good luck doll..I remember being 15 and I know it's NOT as easy as people think! I also can tell you are a very driven person. I'm sure you'll find something.

You don't need to get a job at a big chain. In fact, most of them don't hire until you're at least 16.
Walk dogs of friends. [The more dogs at once the more money you get! ;)]
Mow lawns in the summer.
Rake leaves in the fall.
Shovel snow in the winter.
All jobs people hate. =]
Get homemade fliers and put them around the neighborhood.
For old people give them the fliers. They are old and can't go far =].

Depends on what state you live in, You could try to get some working papers filled out to help you get a job seeing you are only 15 yrs old. However, If you do get working papers filled out you may want to start on a low end job like Mc Donalds, or Burger King. You could also maybe try dog walking? ;)
I hope I helped a little bit!
