How do I build up my credit history in this economy?

The economy isn't exactly great right now. Before, any 18 year old could apply and be approved for a low line of credit. Now, I just turned 18, but no bank is willing to approve me for a credit card. I am self employed with a steady income of $50,000+ / yr. I have substantial amounts of $$ in my bank account and have no loans/debts. My parents have great credit scores, somewhere around 780. All I want is a credit card with any line of credit, even $200-$300, just to build my credit score. Please, if anyone has experience with this, please let me know. Building credit is just not as easy as it was before :(


Thanks in advanced.
