    If you have repaid your debt for the crime and been clean you should have been able to "seal" your juvinile records. That way its just a mistake of the past and can't be held against you.

    If it happened to you as a minor and was done in Juvie court, at least in the US those records seal at 18.

    So if it was done when you were 10 years old, it should be sealed as a juvie record

    Well a couple days after we got a letter I'm not sure what it said but there was a fee of 108.00 and I wasn't allowed to go in to high school pharmacy for a year. And I'm going to fill out an apartment application and do I check yes or no for a felony? And do uk if I will get denied or not?

    Ps ths is helping a lot thank you very much! :)

    So far as Im aware of you need to ask the courts to seal them otherwise they are public. Meaning you have to tell of your conviction until it is sealed. I don't believe its an automatic thing.
