It'll probably have to be a prepaid one. The other option would be for your mom to put you on one of her credit cards. You can't get one in your own name until you are 18.

I would suggest getting a secured card. This is where you "bank" so much money with the card company. This "bank" is equivalent to your credit limit. The difference is that unlike a "bank card/debit card" you will still pay off your credit balance each month as if the credit card company was not holding any of your funds. This way it builds your credit and at the same time there is always a safety net for you to fall back on if need be. THE National Bank offers some really great options as far as secured cards and student credit cards. I would check out their website at www.thenb.com

Student credit cards.
We all have different credit requirements, and so the credit card companies design various cards to suit. The variant we are interested in here is the student credit card.
This card is designed to help any student build their credit rating, and be useful for emergencies, which is ideal for many.

When I was your age, my first credit card was Citibank, they gave me a student credit card it was platinum and had a credit line of about $800 dollars.
