Thewre are some plea bargains that would result in you not ending up with a permanent record. Whether they would be offered in your case, I cannot say for sure. However, given your age, it makes sense to do all you can to avoid a permanent conviction coming from this incident. If you qualify of the public defender to represent you, then talk to them. If you don't, it would be impoortant to hire a lawyer to handle this for you - to avoid as many long term impacts as possible. The money you spend now, can save you a lot of grief in the future.
