Do I need to write an Addendum for wrecking my car when I was 17?

regmorgueregmorgue Core Member

Let's say hypothetically I totaled my car when I was 17 for texting while driving and then got off with just a warning, must I write an addendum? I can't find anything when it comes to having your record sealed before 18. I also ran away from home twice and received case numbers, will I need to disclose those? Also how thorough should I be with cleaning my social media? For example, if I have a not safe for work Twitter without my name attached should I delete it? Thank you for the help in advance. Sorry for the unrelated questions, I am stressed about applications.

    I mean if you got off with just a warning in this hypothetical case then it is debatable if you must mention it. I am not a lawyer nor some admissions expert. But it's good to get a background check to see if it's even on your record? Unless you got a felony or something on your record, you should be fine? That's just my understanding. We all do something stupid. Hypothetically speaking, I threw an egg at my friend's face when I was like 8. Not gonna write an addendum for that. As per social media issue, unless you are posting P Diddy's island party pictures or something terrible uncensored or opinionated, it shouldn't matter.

    It's also good to look if this wreckage caused any ups and downs to your life that you have mentioned in your application elsewhere. If there were then you may need to explain the incident. Maybe a thorough check might help with deciding? Let me know if it helped!
