PostHeaderIcon Fool-proof Money Making Ideas for Teenagers

by Bernard Z. Pherpen

Are you a teen that is always trying to find some more spending money? That’s no surprise if you are. You probably ask your parents for money or look to find ways to make money. Who wouldn’t want extra cash?

If you are a teen over the age of 16, you should be able to find a part time job. You could work on nights and weekends, and you could work full time over the summer. If you are younger, a part time job might be a little more difficult to find.

There are all sorts of different part time jobs you can get. You work in a mall, supermarket, department store, restaurant, fast food restaurant, small business, do filing, or do just about anything.

If you are too young to get a job, can’t find a job, or don’t want to be tied down to work for someone else, there are other options. Some of these options have nearly unlimited income potential, if you know what you’re doing.

Are you business-minded? Do you have excellent entrepreneurship skills? Maybe you do and you don’t even know it. Do you work hard and take initiative and risks? Are you willing to work hard for possibly a lot of money?

You could start your own business! Don’t think you could be a businessperson? You don’t have to have a degree in business to start your very own business. Anyone can start their own business, even a teenager.

If you aren’t sure where to start, look in to some of the most common small business ideas for teens. You could babysit for people, detail cars, shovel snow, or mow lawns.

“It’s been done,” you may be thinking. If you want to do something different, look around your area and try to fill a need. Be creative and do something that’s never been done before.

PostHeaderIcon Free Money for a College Education

by Cora May Waldorf

Will you be going to college within the next few years or are you already in college? Are you looking for ways to pay for it? There’s no better time than the present to start looking for ways to make money for college.

It costs a lot of money to go to college. After tuition adds up with all the fees and room and board, you can expect to pay a lot of money. Some colleges have tuition fees that are just outrageous.

One way to cut down costs is to go to a cheaper school. If you went to a community college first for two years and than transferred to your favorite more expensive school, you spend a lot less and still get that degree from the other school.

There are lots of people who would never go to a state school because, well, I have no idea. Unless you are extremely smart and need to go to an Ivy League college, the cost of a college will not decide it’s prestige or value of it’s degrees. I’m sorry to break it to you, but it means nothing.

Aside from going to a cheaper school, there are other ways to make money for college. Of course, you can start saving. This is best for people who are farther away from college. Instead of blowing all your part time income on junk, save it and save money on college.

None of this has been free yet, but there are ways to get free money for college. You can get most free money for college by getting scholarships and grants.

Anyone can apply for scholarships, as long as you meet the criteria. There are tons of scholarships available out there, you just need to know where to look.

Ask your guidance counselor for more information on local scholarships and sign up for a scholarship website. You can get a lot of money through scholarships. Maybe you could even get a full ride?

PostHeaderIcon Poems I wrote sometime after 1995

by LJ James

POEMS I WROTE SOMETIME AFTER 1995

I have been asked recently if I have ever written any Poetry . I had said No at first. Then I remembered that some time back after 1995 after a break up with a Girl that I had lived with for a while. (Probably the only real relationship of my life, So Far) I wrote what I would call “two poems”!

The first I wrote right after the break up. I guess I was at the point I was just trying show I was a hardcore man and the break up did not effect me. So I was trying to be funny about the whole thing.

The second I wrote years later after my Dog “Mutely Junior” was killed. Juniors Mother had been the Girl I had lived withs Dog named “Riff Raff”, and his Father was named “Mutely” He had been my Fathers dog . When me and the girl broke up, Junior was still only a puppy about six months old and he was by my side the whole time. He was like my Son. The girl I had dated had kids that I helped take care of while I lived there and I do not think it could have been much harder leaving the kids had they been my own flesh and blood.

I do not fall in love easy and my life has always been about being a Biker and I have often said the last thing I want to do is anything like getting married and having kids. I have always said I want something more from life. So I found it very odd and disconcerting that I found myself so happy living with this Girl playing the roll of Father to her kids ! I guess what we tell ourselves we want and what you really want can be two totally different things! I was young then and as I look back now I can remember I did not keep it much of a secret that I wanted more from life and I can only assume that was a big part of why we broke up.

After the Break up I lived in a Cabin in the woods in upstate NY in a small town for about 4 years. Junior was almost always by my side and he and I enjoyed many adventures during that time. As much as I loved my life in the Cabin. I once again found myself wanting more from life. So I moved to Long Island NY. I was getting myself set up in yet another new life. During this time while I got my new life in order, I had left Junior with my Father to be take care of . One night my Father let him out and Junior ran off . A few days later Junior was found by the Train tracks. He had been hit by a Train and was dead. It was no ones fault. Junior had always loved fast to run threw the woods. It was part of who he was. When I heard about Juniors death I wrote the Second poem. Junior was the last part of what I often think of as a different life I once lived. With Junior gone it was at that point that I truly felt the break up.

These Poems are not of me now but of a Me I once was or maybe a Me I could have been. I believe I have now found my place in the world and I am almost positive I am happy. So I will post these poems for you all to read! Some may say these poems will make me look weak. To them I say always remember looks can be deceiving !!!

I hope you enjoy the poems. LJ James

Love?

I told you Id walk a Million Miles for you. You said Please do.

I told you I would clime the highest Mountain for you. You said I hope you fall off.

I told you I would swim the oceans for your Love . You said I hope you Drown.

I told you my heart was yours You said let me see it.

I told you I would die for you. You said prove it!!!

Sweet Heart I’m starting to get the feeling you don’t Love Me !!!! By L.J. James

———————————————————– Home or Lost

I stand here alone thinking of a place gone Past. Never thinking that I have been away so long.

Its a strange feeling to know your home is no longer yours but now some others.

I can’t go back, but I still wonder if I would.

I was always cold on that hill but my heart was warm.

My Dog was born there but now he too is gone Killed in the Night by a train going some where I have never been.

My heart got broke but I did not cry.

I though I was happy before I really was. Now I wonder can I be again.

My heart calls out for me to follow the sun. But I don’t remember where it is that I was going before I stopped here

Am I happy here, I think so but I’ve been wrong before! By L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com
