Applying for citizenship with a juvenile record?

A juvenile record consisting of pilfering a CD from a retail store and failing to attend school would not affect a naturalization application 10 years after the incidents that you describe. Citizenship applications require good moral character during the statutory period, which in your case is five years. I note that the N-400 application requests that you must put down your incidents with the law even if the record is sealed. Failure to disclose prior unlawful episodes could lay you open to a charge of misrepresentation. If you decide to file for a replacement green card because your present green card is expiring, the offenses that you have described would have no effect upon your being able to renew the green card.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
