What happens if you get out of a debt management program?
Im a 22 year old full time college student with a part time job. About three months ago I joined in charge debt solutions because I thought it would be easier for me to manage my credit card bills that way. However now after joining, I’m realizing that Im unable to keep up with the payments Im making to them. It’s like after my other bills and this payment are taken out every month, I hardly have any money left and I think I’ve put myself in a bind. If I leave the program now will this mess up my credit, will it make it harder for me to join a debt management program in the future, will my creditors be resistant to work things out with me in the future because of this? I simply just can’t afford to be in the program now.

If you get off of a DMP they stop paying the creditors. Unless you make specific arrangements with each creditor and pay them you will now become past due on your accounts again. Because of this the interest and late payments will start to be added again, and they will make collection calls to you.
You can always get back on a DMP, unless the creditors have sued you in court. Also if the creditor sold your account to a collection agency, these agencies may or may not participate in the program.
Since you say you "hardly" have any money left after your bills and this payment, it might be good to just tough it out. One thing you may want to do is take a very hard look at your budget. Determine what is essential and what is optional to see if you can free up some money. If you do a lot in entertainment(such as going to movies or eating out) you may have to stop those for a while.
One last option is to consider bankruptcy. It will effect your credit for a while, but if you practice good credit managment after the bankruptcy it can help.
