How to get a job at age 13? - 1

I want to buy an iPhone 7, my mum said if I wanted one I had to buy it myself otherwise just stick to the one I have now. That's fine by me, I know her money doesn't grow on trees, only how do I get a job at age 13? I'm seriously considering this. I'm from the UK if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Added (1). Also my mum said I'm too young to babysit or deliver papers because I'm small for my age so it would be dangerous (I agree with her)

I'm guessing you and your mom got into an argument or something. Its almost impossible unless your: -Doing SYEP -Getting allowance from your parents -Clean peoples yards or something for money etc

I started work at 13 in a newspaper shop, delivering papers, then marking up the papers for other people to deliver (which was a much better option). Obviously I had to finish to be ready for school but it all worked out OK. Rues have changed since I did this as you are not supposed to start before 7am. Other things are babysitting (people always need those) but obviously they need to be sure you can be responsible for the safety of others.

When one of my sons wanted to upgrade his electric guitar he was delivering advertisement brochures. Doesn't pay much and it took him around one year.

If she doesn't want you to get a babysitting job or a paper round job then i'm not sure, but maybe you could earn pocket money by doing house jobs for her like cleaning. 13 is very young and parents should at least provide for you until you turn old enough and maybe she could buy you the phone for a Christmas gift, but if money is tight i understand.

My son at that age started washing windows for money. He charged $3.00 per window. Average house had maybe 10-15 windows. Almost no start up costs & he did great. Most people hate washing windows!

I don't think you can.
