(obviously not like mowing the lawn or raking leaves. i already babysit and my parents don’t give me money for chores) like a real job or something to do like maybe you did when you were little. please help im in desperate need of money

There really is no way. Not for your age that’s fun. Unless you find babysitting fun. But if you want to pick and choose, here are legal places to work for your age(‘real’ jobs.):

12 years and up:

agriculture
golf caddy
casual employment (babysitting, lawn mowing, raking, shoveling)
fur farm
school lunch program

14 and up:

amusement centers
arenas
auditoriums
bakeries
ball parks
billiard halls
bowling alleys
golf course (caddy)
camps
car wash
clubhouses
coliseums
drive-ins
feed mills
garages
gas stations
greenhouses
grocery stores
gun club
hospitals (excluding personal patient care)
hotels
karting tracks
laundromats
motels
nursing homes (excluding personal patient care)
poolrooms
private clubs
resorts
restaurants
retail stores
roller skating rinks
schools(lunch program)
stadiums
tree trimming

Now some of these vary. Gas stations, for example, may hire you at 14 or 16. It depends on your state.

So I guess you;d just have to go through those. But if you’re too picky, that sucks, because that’s a pretty complete list of the legal places you can work.
