Juvenile records cease to exist when you turn 18 unless you've committed other offenses.
You should not put it on the application.

Wayne, if I am an employer, and such an offense is stated honestly on an application, I am much more likely to listen to your explanation than if I run a background check and find it out from some other source.
Look at it this way, if you exclude it where it asks "have you ever been arrested", then you are lying to the employer on the application. That won't set well with me.
And whether it is a factor in hiring you is another quesrtion. Surely, if you stole money from someone, you ain't likely to get an ATM attendant job. I vote for complete honesty. Good Luck
P.S. Anyone can subscribe to PublicData.com and run background checks on anyone. I think you pay $25 per year, and can run 100 checks if you want.

If the adjudication was withheld, then no, you wouldn't have to. They need to know your convictions. If the adjudication was withheld I would assume you either completed some form of a deferment program or it was in a form of confidential status. If that is the case, I'm not sure why you would need it expunged as it wouldn't be public record anyway. Once it is expunged you definitely wouldn't need to include it. If you could be more specific as to what you mean by withheld, that would help

Hmm - you may wait to see if someone has something more definitive than I do.
My understanding is that crimes that occurred when you were under 18 can be sealed & exsponged - so I don't think you should list it.
I hope you get a more definate answer. Best of luck.

As far as I know, at the time you were a juvenile which it should have expunged when you turned eighteen, depending on the seriousness of the charge. If you are a first time offender, then you should have no problem requesting it be expunged and removed from you record. You probably want to consult with an attorney. Most of them give free consultations. Good luck

No,
Once you turn 18 you get a clean slate. The records are sealed and only a court order can open them again. Your employer does not have the right to those records.
What happened to you as a minor will not effect you as an adult.
I suggest that you now look forward to building a productive life and I hope it's one filled with many joys. :)

Nope
But don't be surprised if someone finds out. A lot of time they use private investigators and some of these are moonlighting policemen who can find the records.

No, unless it was a felony,i believe those stay with you even after you turn 18.I also believe if it was a sex crime,those stay with you as well.
Good luck
