It depends on what they are used for, and how they are paid off. If a teen is responsible, and has a card for such things as gasoline, or school purchases, and understands that the card is an important financial obligation of his or her parents, it might be feasible.
The problem is that most teens have little experience with spending money they don't have, and may not fully realize that impulsive or unauthorized spending can have a major effect on a family's budget.
Ideally, credit cards used by teens should have a very low credit limit to avoid problems.

Teens can benefit from having a credit card to start building their credit history early, but it's crucial for them to understand responsible credit card usage. Parents should closely monitor their teen's spending and provide guidance to prevent accumulating debt. Overall, it can be a valuable learning experience if managed properly.

Why should parents take away the credit card from children?
A person should only need a credit card if they spend large amounts of money (i.e., +$100) on a regular basis. For example, if a 35-year-old mother goes food shopping every Saturday, it is very inconvenient to carry +$300 in cash everywhere. There is risk of having it stolen or lost, and it is more secure to use a credit card. For parents, the credit card is an almost necessary part of life. But for children and young teens, who do not spend money on food, electricity bills, car insurance, etc., there really is no need to have a credit card. Credit card debt is also another issue. Adults know that if they get into credit card debt, they will have nobody to bail them out. But children and young teens still need care from their parents. They know or assume that if they get into a fix, their parents will get them out. And who pays the overdue bills? Parents. Children and young teens are not responsible enough with money to have an infinite amount at their disposal that they have to pay later. Adults use credit cards on a daily basis, but children and young teens do not.
