"Juvenile delinquent" is a descriptive phrase, not a legal classification. "Juvenile Offender" is a legal description, "Felon" and "Misdemeanant" are legal classifications.

If you commit a crime at 16, you would generally be considered a juvenile delinquent rather than a felon. The distinction between a juvenile delinquent and a felon varies by jurisdiction, but typically, juveniles are subject to different legal procedures and sentencing than adults. However, depending on the severity of the crime and local laws, a 16-year-old may be charged as an adult in some cases.

If you were the driver of a car and a convicted felon and a passager kills and trys to hijack a car and they charger you with murder even if you did not know what was going to happen?

It depends on what plans you had to commit a crime. For example if you were planning to commit robbery and your accomplice kills a person, you could be charged in the murder even if you didn't pull the trigger. If you were in a car, even with a convicted felon, not on probation or any other supervision, and had no idea that a crime was going to be committed and it happens, you shouldn't get charged with anything. But you better tell the police the truth!
