Dear Anon: It sounds like a very stressful set of circumstances you’ve been through. AsktheJudge.info is an educational site for and about teens and the law. We suggest you try contacting a local criminal defense attorney for further information and assistance. Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation. Also, you can check our Teen Help Network link below, click on your state and then look under the Classes for Teens category for an online program that would allow you to complete anger management classes as well as other types of classes (it’s just another option in case you weren’t aware of these classes being offered online). Finally, you may want to look into counseling services to help deal with the current charges as well as everything else you are going through. Getting involved in counseling now could also be beneficial to your case. Good luck.(Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.) Your question was edited to comply with the terms of our site and keep the content clean for our young readers.
