I got one at 16, I started working at 12 doing landscaping, then bought a truck at 16.
Times have changed. What was possible for us, isn't always possible for others in the current generation.
You could go to college and pay for it entirely with a minimum wage job just a few decades ago, but that's impossible now.
That said, knowing more about your predicament would help. Do you have a friend who has a job where you are? Perhaps you could get a job with a similar schedule and carpool.

bullshite. This want that long ago.
My dad forced me to earn anything of value. Yeah I lived a somewhat spoiled life but I still worked my arse off.
My daughter will have a car but only because I already own it already. I built it, she will be forced to love it and drive it. If she doesn't like it, she can buy her own.
I asked a coworker recently if his son(12) would be interested in laying some pin straw for money while his dad was over at my house. He laughed. Said his son thinks he can make $100 washing cars even though he hasn't yet.
This is what is wrong with kids. My family had lots of money. But I was always forced to work to buy anything of value. I didn't do chores etc... I worked.
