If you were arrested as a minor, this may or may not show up on a criminal background check. You need to see if it does. Contact your local police department to ask how to check your RAP sheet. If it does show up, then find out if it can be "expunged" (i.e. cleared) from your record. You can google for this information or consult with a local criminal law attorney who can be of help.
