You want a credit but im only seventeen and you dont have a bank account?
your not 18, you can enter into a legally binding contract which is what a credit card entails because your a minor plus your parents are suppsoed to be financially responsible for you till your 18 and that means that they would be responsible for any bill you rack up on a credit card and credit companies don't really go for that, so the credit card is a no go. you can become an authorized user on your parents credit card but then you have to abide by the credit companies and your parents rules sorry kid :( -I'm 18, i looked into this when i was 17 too

that depends on your state laws if minors are liable for such lawsuits. Legally, a minor cannot have a credit card. They are not old enough to sign a binding contract.
