The fact that you have no criminal record to speak of, that you are very young and that you go to school could be very helpful. However, in themselves these things do not mean a case would be automatically dismissed. You need to consult a lawyer in order to fully and accurately evaluate your case. A criminal record can have very negative consequences for your life and you need to do everything you can to avoid one.
