Was it just "young and stupid and stole something" or more "I was 11 with no parents and stealing so my little sister could eat". In one, an explanation is valuable, in the other I would just fess up (if necessary) and move on

Post explanation here, we will let you know if we (errr... They?) need more details

I’m curious if you all think I should post a lengthy explanation of the circumstances of how it happened or just explain what the conviction was for and what I’ve done to prove myself and ensure it does not reoccur?

Were you actually convicted or did you get it dropped ? I had a misdemeanor that I got dropped and I didn’t mention it and it didn’t show up on background check

Convicted

I think it depends on the state as well, don't quote me on this but in NY it falls off after 7 years
