That depends. If the minor was waived to adult court and tried as an adult, then yes it will stay on your record for life. If the minor was tried as a minor in the juvenile just sysstem then the records become sealed when they reach 18 and the record is cleared. However, the records can be opened under a court order and considered if the individual continues to break the law.
