I’m worried it will and I won’t be able to have the job 🙁

Everything you've been charged with comes up, the best thing to do is just be up-front about it if they ask and explain that it was a long time ago and that you're not the same person any more. They explained this in the training I was in the other day funnily enough, they said most employers are fine with it, even schools (at least for minor crimes like that or drug possession or something).

Although idk maybe it's different for me, mine is a DBS check and I don't know if there's a difference between them

People with chequered pasts get employed all the time though, and if they're things you did when you were young most employers couldn't care less

I didn’t mention it cause I thought it would have been erased.

Cause they say if ur under 18 after 6 years or something it goes away 🙁

Oh man I hope this doesn’t ruin it cry

Piggle Humsy Wiggle4life

It all seemed too perfect so it probably will ruin it

Scribble Restricted

Yeah if it's that old it probably won't count, there is definitely something to do with crimes committed when you're under 18 being struck after a certain amount of time

Piggle Humsy Wiggle4life

God I hope so cause if it comes up I dunno if they’ll believe me if I say I forgot about it until now

Ugh man so much anxiety now

I’m dreading I’ll walk in on Wednesday and they take me in a room and say I can’t work there cry

Piggle Humsy Wiggle4life

"Under current rules, criminal convictions for under-18s stay on their record for five and a half years, while cautions last two years."

Yeah but I read something that says if it’s serious (assault or robbery) it may stay indefinitely :/

Piggle Humsy Wiggle4life

Idk I can only wait and see

I dunno if assault or robbery would be counted as "serious", I thought that meant something like murder or sexual abuse

Stop buying apple products, lol.

I didn't, I got my macbook free from my uni and now am saddled with the feeling that I'm too used to it and will need to buy another one when it dies
