I was in trouble as a juvenile, what do I put on a job application if asked about criminal history?
Pay careful attention to the actual question on the application. If it asks 'Have you ever been convicted of a crime?' the answer is "no". You cannot be convicted of a crime as a juvenile. You are simply adjudicated a delinquent child. However, some employers may ask if you've ever been arrested. We encourage honesty with prospective employers.
