You might get into trouble. However, if you were trying to get the 16 year old out of your house because he was trespassing, and he refused, you might have a defense. There are also other possible defenses. However, you omitted why the fight started and who started it.

You should take the time to talk with a criminal lawyer during an office visit. Moreover, you should retain one before you speak with the police.
