Credit cards are very dangerous items.  You should not have a credit card unless you know you can manage it.  Most young people find themselves in unmanageable debt because of irresponsible credit card usage.  A person who can save their money and pay cash for items will find themselves far ahead of the credit card crowd in short order.  It is simply too easy to use a credit card and too hard to pay it off.  Human nature almost guarantees you will be in trouble eventually.  Be smart and put some distance between you and credit cards.
