How do you clean your permanent record from when you were a minor, after you turn 18?

Question

I need to get my record cleaned. I dont have a criminal record or any school violations or anything like that.

But last year I attempted suicide and was in an adolescent mental hospital for 8 days. I want that off my record.

How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Personally request for an expungement of your records.

Answer 2

Most States have procedures for the sealing or expungement of criminal records after a minor turns 18. These do not, however, apply to medical records. Your medical record is not available to anyone other that your medical providers.

You cannot get it "cleaned". When you go to a Dr for treatment your prior medical record is an important part of what he relies on in determining how to treat you this time.

Don't worry about it. The fact that you were in a mental facility is NOT accessible to people like college admissions staff or potential employers. It is a *medical* record, and available for *medical* purposes only.

If you were arrested as a result of the suicide attempt (Police often use an arrest as a way to be able to take someone to a facility if they are unwilling to go) but never convicted of a crime, then you can almost certainly have that record either sealed or expunged. Which, and how, depends on State law.

In very few States does a juvenile record get sealed automatically - it almost always requires 'some' proactive action on your part.
