You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

Ask to speak with an attorney (public defender) before saying anything. As a minor, you are generally provided a public defender for any charge. Do not say anything without consulting your attorney.
