In NC juvenile law, what is the plea bargain to erase a misdemeanor?

In NC juvenile law, what is the plea bargain much like a prayer for judgment in which it does not go on your record and as long as you do not commit the same crime for however long, you will not be convicted? If you could also explain how I might go about requesting this when representing myself that would be great. Thanks.

A plea bargain and a PFJ are two different things. A PFJ is exactly what you referred to. A plea bargain must be offered by the District Attorney - you cannot request it. A plea bargain is pleading guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for a lesser sentence. The charge would still remain on your record though.
If you are a juvenile, you will not be allowed to represent yourself - nor should you.
