    Well it won't be on your record once you turn 18 so nothing much, if you get assigned a lawyer ask that he try to get you into community service or something.

    What do you want to happen? It won't go away

    Were you given a date to be in court?

    You should have someone assigned to you when you go to explain the options.

    Okay well when you go to the court date they should assign someone to you, they most likely will see if the court will agree to a sentence without a trial.
