I don't know what's worse, credit cards or cell phones! Texting while driving is taking the lives of many teens. At least credit cards are not killing! Credit cards for teens is only a good idea with parental supervision. With so many things in life, balance and responsibility are key. Steve

Responsabilitys come in many ways .teens face a lot of problems with money having a credit card it alaos them to get what they need on the spot .If a teen has car problems and if he or she does not have enough money to pay for the car .they can not go to work and make the money for there lieving . with a credit card they can buy what they need for there car now and then pay for it later and the car will be fix and they can go to work and get pay and then they can go pay the bill because they gat there car fix to go to work.

College is a Big money problem that teens face right when they get out of high school either they dont have enough money to pay for there tuition. and If they do they dont have enough money for there ROOM and BORD .that is why teen should have a credit card so they can get it now and then pay for it later .

Credit cards will ruin their -teens- credit before they even have a chance to establish credit!

Debit cards are the way to go…that way when they run out,they don't incurr financial 'damages' and they learn to live by a budget.

Here in the UK a child can't have a credit card. You have to be eighteen years of age to even be considered for application. So to me it's completely insane to think of a kid/teenager having a credit card. Nuts!
