Should I get a credit card. I'm really tempted to get one and just pay back the minimum a month, should I bother? Will the debt be too intense for me?
Whatever you do, DON'T simply pay back the minimum per month, else you will be paying off even a small debt your entire life. Interest and fees and all that.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Do you know whether it's possible to alter how much you pay back per month? Like if I could pay back the minimum for a while, then when I have more money, just go at it and pay back the maximum?

I think you have the option of paying whatever amount you want so long as it's over the minimum.
Personally I don't know entirely for sure, though, as I don't have a credit card.

I think I might do that then. Because I get paid monthly at the moment and it's a nightmare, it would just be nice to have a credit card to use in times of need.
