    Is it possible to get the charges removed when I turn 18 or anything?

    At 17, in Michigan, you are charged as an adult, and you get an adult criminal record. A local lawyer can advise you as to whether your county has a diversion program, or about other sentencing options (such as HYTA) which may allow you to avoid a criminal record.
