What is the name of your state? Washington

I'm 16 years old and a few weeks ago i was arrested for assaulting my father and threatening
my mother and sister with a knife, i admit that i have anger issues so please bear with me.
They took me to juvenile detention hall and i was released because i was a first time offender
my mother and father now just received confirmation that i will be tried for 4th degree assault
( for attacking my father) and 2nd degree assault (for the threatening with the knife.) i am worried about my future will these charges stay with me when i am an adult and what will the punishment be for my crimes. again i apologize to anyone if this is offending i have anger issues, but i really do need help thank you. :(

Ignoring the fact that you shouldn't be threatening members of your family with a knife... When you become an adult (age 18), assuming you are not on probation, and haven't been convicted of any crimes in the past 2 years, you can petition the court to seal your records. Kids are rash and make mistakes.

Violence is only an acceptable course of action when it is in self defense or defense of another from bodily harm. Shouting may hurt ears, but at least nobody gets really hurt. Calm discussions gets a lot more done than shouting or violence.

You're 16, 16 yr olds make mistakes, don't make this one again.
