Well, 13 is a good age to learn that asking strangers to buy you stuff is wrong. Find a legal way to earn the money, you’ll feel better about yourself and people will be proud of you.

Ik but 13-14 is also around the last year I can ask strangers for money like it’s a normal thing

I'll add another comment: You did get some pretty rough responses. And we all were wrong. We just assumed you to be older. For myself, I will apologise to you. It's not right to assume stuff without learning the true facts. I hope you weren't hurt too bad. Remember, we all make mistakes. And of course we should all own up to them when we do. I hope you will let me know how things turn out. And happy 14th birthday buddy.

Is there any reason why you can't get a job like other kids instead of begging?
Sorry to seem harsh, but working for what you get builds character. Relying on donations makes you a leech. Is that the kind of man you want to be?
I raised six boys and one thing I taught them was to be self-reliant, to carry their own weight.

Hey buddy. I understand. I didn't know your age. I take back the 'leech' part. And I know I'm a little hard. I'm sort of a hard guy in some ways. But if a guy is tryin, I'll back em up to the max. I've even gone to court to testify in various kids' behalf when they got themselves in trouble. Ended up with an extra kid that way once too.
When my boys were 13 some of the things they did to make money were:
Car washing; usually they added a buddy and of course got more water on themselves than the car being washed. But they made some money.
Dog walking; this was pretty straightforward. Just ask around neighbours and friends who have dogs.
Babysitting; while my boys didn't really like this job much, they did it from time to time when they needed money.
House painting; naturally this one will be harder to nail down as you will need to find someone needing the job done. Two of my boys did this at 13.
House sitting; One of my boys did this at 13. If you present yourself in a mature way, you might be able to do it. Mostly the people my son worked for just wanted someone there to receive packages and collect mail while they were gone to deter porch pirates, etc.
My sons also did a hella lotta yard work, but I didn't mention that because you said you sucked at it.
I also paid my sons to help me do various things. Mostly to work on motorcycles, four-wheelers and the like. Maybe a friend or relative would pay you to assist them in some project.

Get a job, pay for it yourself.
