Could this ruin my future?

[Username not found..]

Hi, so basically, last year I was charged with harassment against me ex gf. Falsely charged I might add, and I'm currently trying to overturn this. I'm not left with a permanent criminal record, as I was referred to a youth offending team with counsellors who helped change me as a person.

Will this still stop me from becoming a Lawyer? Its honestly all I want to do with my life, and I couldn't really see myself doing much else :(

It depends on what is on your criminal record and what you been convicted of, and varies by state in the us.

There has been people who have gotten their law education inside jails.

Given that you will not have a criminal record once you turn 18, then the answer is no, it will not keep you from going to law school and get licensed as an attorney.
