First of all, your title is stupid.

 

Secondly, go work for it. There is no such thing as a "get rich quick" thing that you can do. Go find a job, or something. figure it out.

Walk around your house, find stuff noone needs, ask your parents if it's true that noone needs it, sell it on ebay, repeat.

Try to get some kind of job near where you live. Something where you maybe work after school 1-2 days a week.
Maybe ask some relatives that have a company/shop near you, if you can work there.
 
The only other money sources I can think of are birthdays/christmas and pocket money from your parents.
 
Edit:
 

Walk around your house, find stuff noone needs, ask your parents if it's true that noone needs it, sell it on ebay, repeat.

 
This^ is another very good thing you could do.

I sold hacks privately for video games when I was like 14-15. If you're competent with programming its not hard to do.

Get a real job. The way i got a job being 15 was going to my local restaurant and pretty much asking if they needed a kitchen hand. Now i have ended up doing 50+ hours during the summer break.

Geez, what's with all the hostility, guys? Give advice, but don't call the guy an idiot. 

 

@OP, if you're legally old enough to work in your country, then your best option is to look around for a job. Probably part time at your age. Retail stores, restaurants, local shops and similar places are good to look at. 

 

If you're not old enough to officially work, then you can ask your parents if you can do extra chores for some money, and see if people around where you live need things doing, like washing cars, cutting grass, walking dogs, babysitting and so on.

So here in England its actually illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to be in full time employment.

As of September 2014 all children must either remain in full time education or go into a workplace apprenticeship until they are 18 years old. They can work part time while in education but they cannot work full time until the day of their 18th birthday.

Yeah, I know what your thinking. That's dumb. And you'd be correct.

Why is it dumb? I know i'd rather spend time in education than work, gets you the skills you need to get into university or to get into a profession, am I missing something here? O.o

Buy cheap, sell when the prices rise. Bought a some Star Wars comics awhile back when Disney bought it for 50c each. Sold them a few days ago for exponentially more. Hello new graphics card.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

How about this, I'll pay you $10 if you play Russian roulette with a Glock that's fully loaded with live rounds, not blanks. Or you can choose to jump into the business end of a woodchipper that's operating on full power.

 

I'll pay you after you've done the deed.

Quite simply because not all children are suited to full time education and would be better served by being allowed to leave school at 16 and getting a full time job.

There are children who have been expelled from school and college who now cannot do anything until they turn 18 except wander the streets and go from bad to worse.

A blanket solution is never ideal for everyone affected by it.

You can technically work full time at 16/17, so long as you're in part time education or training at the same time.
