My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina

Im 16 and im being charged with first degree burglary and conspiracy. both big crimes. i dont know what to do. i come from a poor family and we dont have money for a attorney and im hoping that a public defender will do his best. i am already in debt because i had someone else pay my bond for me and if i want a lawyer i will be at least $6000 in debt as a 16 year old. i dont know what to do or what my options are. any advice would help?
