Hi Samari,
It's great that you are interested in working, but you have to follow the child labor laws of your country. The minimum working age in Greece is 15 and there are regulations in place if you are between 16 and 18. You also need to make sure that school remains your priority.
You can however do small jobs around the neighborhood to make a little money for yourself, like mowing lawns or babysitting. This is best done on a "friends and neighbors" basis and your parents need to give permission and keep you safe. You can make it known around your neighborhood that you would like to help out with house and garden chores. You can also ask your parents if any of their friends have a need.
If you are good at any school subjects or a sport or play an instrument, tutoring or teaching younger kids might be another option. Your school might be able to set you up with some younger kids who need help at school. If you have any special skills and talents, e.g. computer skills or artistic skills, you can also sell things.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
