Hey, if your pretty sure you were a juvi when this happened .. it sounds like your good in getting a job because you never went to court or anything .. or got charged and this was your first offense. It's a worth of try to apply somewhere, just wouldn't get my hopes up in applying anywhere in retail stores, but it's always worth the try.

The laws in CA and IL are sort of different, but in IL, I've always heard your juvenile record never shows up on background checks. Once you hit the adult age that's when you need to worry.
