There Can Be Jail Time

A misdemeanor charge will likely show up on background checks and can limit a person’s options in areas, such as housing and employment. It can also affect their finances and career since many punishments require a person to pay fines, attend classes, carry out community service, and, in extreme cases, result in jail time.

Parents especially need to be very careful in making sure that their children understand what happens when they are caught in the act of a misdemeanor.

Jail time can also negatively impact a person’s career, especially if they are jailed for an extended period of time. Employers may choose to fire them for serving time, particularly in cases where they miss more than a few days of work.

If a person is going through a hard time, financially-speaking, a hefty fine from a misdemeanor can hit them hard.

Some fines can be as much as a few thousand dollars, and for someone who cannot afford it, they may need to borrow money from a lender. It may take years for them to be able to pay it back, and until then, their credit score may take serious hits for any missed payments, which can impact their ability to buy or rent cars and housing.

Teens who commit misdemeanors are more likely to follow the wrong path later in life, and some employers can see whether they have a youth record, which can affect their career.
