Medical 18W Juvenile Curiosity
Lets make a short story even shorter. When I was 15 before have ever even driven a car (2012), I was detained (arrested?), no handcuffs, no photo, no fingerprints and saw a judge for a misdemeanor minor in possession of alcohol charge in NJ. The record was expunged after attending a court ordered AA meeting and I haven't had any trouble since except a couple parking tickets (lol). The judge told me I could essentially pretend like it never happened. I previously did not report this on my first class medical because of that statement and it was a juvenile offense. I have since obtained PPL glider, ASEL, Instrument, and closing in on commercial MEL. It has been brought to my attention that this should maybe be reported? I do fully intend to disclose this information on an FBI pre-employment check, all applications, and don't expect it to be an issue. Should I report this on my next medical or just let it die?
-Thanks! Will provide more details if requested.

The explanation box in the help section for the form (found when you access medexpress and use the help function while filling the form) will give you the following:
"18. MEDICAL HISTORY -- Each item under this heading must be selected either "Yes" or "No." You must answer "Yes" for every condition you have ever been diagnosed with, had, or presently have. For every item selected "Yes" a comment will be required.
Letter (w) of this subheading asks if you have ever had any other (nontraffic) convictions (e.g., assault, battery, public intoxication, robbery, etc.). If so, name the charge for which you were convicted and the date of conviction in the APPLICANT EXPLANATIONS box."

You indicated that you didn't have a conviction, but your understanding of the event seems unclear. As with all legal matters, your best bet is to consult an attorney. A good place to begin is the AOPA legal plan, now under the same umbrella as their medical services. For a nominal yearly fee, you have access to legal consultation and questions.
Rather than rely on opinions on a web board, get qualified legal counsel to guide what will be an important decision.
