No, if you made nothing in the year. If you are self-employed and have filed in previous years, then you also need to file for the prior taxable year. There is big difference between money earned and what is considered a profit in self-employment.

Should a 17 old that made 363.00dollars and live at home with mom and dad file income tax?

You did not make enough income to be required to file a tax return. However, you should check your W-2's to see if your employer withheld any Federal income tax (Box 2 of your W-2). If they did, you may want to file a return just to get that money refunded because you certainly should not have to pay any taxes with that little income. If you did not have any withholding in Box 2, or its small enough that you just don't care, then filing a return is definitely not necessary.
