someone told me a few prepaid credit cards help build your credit..Is that true or no?

Cause i was talking to someone about building my credit since i just turned 18 but i dont want a credit card but then they said you can get a prepaid one and it doesnt build your credit as fast but helps start building it.

If you would like to keep a tight control on how much you spend on your credit card, then prepaid credit cards were created for you.
A pre paid credit card has a lot of the same benefits as standard credit cards as they are accepted at millions of locations worldwide, are easy to use and can be used to pay utility bills.
Pre paid credit cards have some additional benefits as well, with most pre paid credit cards you have guaranteed approval and as you spend only what you put in, you would not be charged overdraft fees.
A prepaid credit card account is opened by depositing money into that account, much in the same way you would make a deposit to open a checking or savings account. Once you have money in your account, you're issued a prepaid credit card that can be used anywhere one would use a regular credit card.
