Lol. . . hmm, Zeus the best way to get a job is to do volunteer work first. If you find a place that you want to work, ask if you can volunteer there. After volunteering for a couple'a weeks, when you apply, you'll almost certainly get it.
Of course, it depends on what kind of job you want; some you can't really do volunteer work for.
(Hint, hint: volunteer work on a resume is what makes you stand out from everyone else. it shows you're SELF MOTIVATED)

Or if not that it at least shows that you want them to THINK you're self motivated. XD

the past two months have been spent trying to find a job. i have filled out many applications. but, no one wants to hire high school kids, at all. so they simply make up excuses.
its sucks. it sucks horribly.
on top of that, my mom yells at me for trying to get a job and failing, some motivation.

exactly.
and i lived out of the country for highschool... so I wasnt legally allowed to work. So the only work experiance I have is working at the library for 3 months back in the summer before 9th grade.
People see this on my application, and chuck it into the waste basket.
My mom told me i shouldnt be so picky. I dont want to work at fast food... cause ill smell like fast food for months. Its gross...
but she said I have to get a job...

Apply for one of those summer events. . . the one in my city, I'll be working for 10 days and making upward of 500 dollars total. It's just basically a temporary summer amusement park.
They have those sort of things in every big city, and you can make some good money off of that.

Could you handle being ruthlessly taken advantage of and abused at. . . . say, McDonald's?

Working at a fast food joint is almost a right of passage. Truly, if you never work fast food (or another equally crappy job) you won't realize how good you have it at a better job. Besides, they're usually pretty low responsibility jobs, and you might meet some nasty greasy chicks to shag in the walk-in cooler..
My only suggestion is that make sure you work somewhere where you don't mind the food. I never could have worked at McDonalds, but I worked at Popeye's for two years as my first job.. and they have pretty good food!
