Minor (15) Charged with B and E (first time offender)

My friend let us in the house and prior to us arriving broke a window to get in. The police arrived in less than 3 minutes of Me and the third friends arrival, but we were all in the house at this time. We were all charged with breaking and entering. What am i looking at for punishment in court.

Depends. What US state are you perfecting your criminal behavior in?

Time to get Mom and Dad involved, because someone is going to have to pony up for an attorney.

Unless you've been committing crimes the way people eat popcorn, you won't go to jail.
You're a minor.
Talk to your guardians, mom, or pops.
One of the type that oversees you must be present in court.
Behave yourself, or you might be spending your days and nights washing BIG BUBBA's underwear, rubbing his crusty feet, and keeping him "warm" on those long, cold, prison nights!!!!

Being a burglar can be a dangerous proposition. Not only do you run the real risk of going to prison for many years, but, you also run the potential of being killed by a fearful resident or their faithful canine companion, Cujo.

Grow up and learn to be responsible before you find yourself wandering down a path to new roommates with fanciful mono-syllabic nicknames and who eye you like you were a Snickers bar at a Weight Watchers' meeting.
