I am 17 and just got arrested with possession of alcohol by a minor. When I turn 18 will this be offmy record or continue lingering over my shoulder? I have never been arrested before.

will always be on your record!
look at all those famous people, and politicians too... the dirt that the media dig up regarding stupid things they did in their youth.
that info will always be there, how else do we find out?

I have been there man, you are completely fine, 100%. Once you are 18 your record is wiped clean...and even then, if it your first recorded offense (say you are caught with alcohol again in a year or two) most judges will dismiss it. Alcohol is still illegal for minors, but as long as you are careful, most of the time it is not as serious as it used to be, just dont get caught driving under the influence.

I do not believe it will stay on your record at all you are a minor and are protected under The Young Offenders Act. My 16 year old son was arrested on Monday I did ask the Police if it would affect him later in life when he decides to get smart and he said no.

It should be removed from your record when you turn 18. My boyfriend got multiple felony charges for stealing a golf cart when he was 16 or 17, and it's gone now. You should check with a lawyer, if you have one.

It will still be somewhere on your record, Accesable by certain people, unless they told you it would be expunged, or sealed.It's not the crime of the century, tho. Do what they ask of you, and stay out of trouble, and you will probably not have anything to worry about later.

It will be on your juvenile record, you can, depending on what state you live in, have your juvenile record SEALED!! You'll probably need the advice of legal counsel.

It will stay on your juvy record but it will not be on your adult record which is what employers will look at in the future

it depends on the judge...if they charge you as a minor they can seal your records, if not, then the judge will let it remain open.
You should have had better sense.....
