It probably will not affect you. When you go through the background investigation, your investigator will ask you questions about your background. If they ask you questions about any trouble in middle school, tell them the truth. Odds are good that telling them will not hurt you. On the other hand, odds are good that if you don't tell the agency and they do find out, you probably won't get hired.
Remember, always tell the truth!

Each law enforecment has it's own policy when it come down to Background checks. Some will only contact peple via phone or now the e mail, and there are some that will go any were and talk to anyone that has know you. A federal background check can take a much as 3 years to complete were some state and local backgrounds can take weeks.

They go as far back as they want.
