you are only a felon if you have been convicted of a felony. But you got charged with a misdemeanor, so NO, you are not a Felon.

Unless you are CONVICTED of a felony -- you are not a felon. However, you probably will still have to report the arrest on job applications for the rest of your life, even if you do eventually stay clean and get the records expunged.
If you are a juvenille, your record in some cases can be "sealed", in which case I would think that your arrest record is no one's business but your own. Thankfully I never had to find out if that is true.

Unless you were convicted of a felony then you are not considered a felon. However, I would admit to what ever you were charged with if you are asked about a criminal record! Never lie on an application because companies can and will fire you if they find out about it later!!

No that does not mean that you are a felon. you can be charged as a felon several times but as long as the charges have been lowered to a msdr. you are not a felon. Your criminal record will show that you were charged with a felony and then lowered to a lesser degree though.

Unless you are charged with a felony, you are not one. You just have a misdemeanor on your record. In most cases, you can get it expunged off your record in three years.

No. The lessor conviction will show up in a background check
But if I were you, I would practice my spelling skills.
