		<description>I don&#039;t think the answer is to raise the minimumage requirement but rather EDUCATING highschoolers about how credit works and that it can follow you for a long time.  Think about it:  good parents spend so much time trying to educate their kids on values, beliefs, right, wrong, etc.  But most parents don&#039;t even THINK to educate their kids on how credit works and then those kids are let loose in the world....and we wonder why they end up in so much debt.  

I DO think laws should be passed, however, for cc companies to NOT solicit to college students in the manner they do.  If they want to do direct mail, that&#039;s fine - let them pay the cost to do that kind of advertising.  But I remember, in our college bookstore, little slips of paper/flyers for credit card companies were actually put in the bags!!  When you get to college, there are TONS of advertisements included with official school stuff!!  It&#039;s almost as if the college gets a kick back - which I know is untrue but it feels so official when they put those advertisements in with official school stuff.  It&#039;s horrible.  And colleges should also do workshops for freshmen about credit as well.</description>
