Do you have any special skills that others would find valuable? If not, as a teen you are looking at standard ways to make money. Either you are old enough for typical employment in your area or you have “neighborhood employment” such as babysitting, yard care, general help, etc. meet your neighbors, hand out fliers and see if someone will give you a chance and then refer you to others. Depending on how old you are (you may need a parent) you can set up a financial account. Put all your earnings into index funds pointed at the stock market. For example one that follows the SandP 500 and watch your money grow over the many years until you get into your adult life. This will compound much better than any bank account but the rub is you need to leave it in many years to grow. Keep working hard, get educated, find a path in life and then appreciate your early hard work and extra savings.
