Jail
You could go to jail for up to 3 months but generally it will depend on your previous driving record, if you have a pretty good record you will probably get a fine and your licence disqualified. Possibly worth talking to a lawyer represent you on this.

16yr old driver of fatal car crash
Hi thanks for your post. I suggest you give us a call or email through your phone number so we can contact you. It is difficult to know exactly what sort of penalty or charge you may face without knowing all the details. We would need to know whether alcohol was involved, whether you were breaking the terms of your restricted licence, whether you were driving dangerously, that sort of thing. Those things will determine what charge you may face (if any) and what sort of penalty you might get. For a list of common offences and penalties http://www.youthlaw.co.nz/page/Road+Rules. If you are charged with an imprisonable offence, you would be dealt with by the Youth Court.
But rather than freak you out, give us a call, we can contact the police and find out where things stand

Education Professionals, youth workers , think smarter not stronger
Recently I have had two students ask me to advocate for them. I still continue to be appalled at the many situations that youth find themselves into because of the lack of regard and abuse of power by Education Professionals. In one of the two situations a college student had got his hair cut in a fashionwhicht followed the trend of a music band, which him and three other students had formed. I myself saw the haircut and it was very neat and very trendy. It was unusual in relation to the norm but it looked really good. The student is also an (A) student and very well behaved. Then student entered assembly and was about to sit down, when he was confronted by a teacher who humiliated the student in front of his friends and placed him on after school detention because he didn't like the students haircut. To make things worse the teacher ordered him to comb it straight which would of looked totally rediculas given the type of cut it was. The student responded by walking out very upset a going home just down the road from the school. On the way out the teacher called out to him that if he left he would go before the board of trustee's and be stood down and this again was in front of the other students. The student felt even more embarrassed, humilated and upset. Now to an uneducated person , the teachers approach right from the start was totally unprofessional and unacceptable If his haircut didn't fit the criteria of the school rules, there were many ways this could of been approached in a sensitive way. For example asking to speak to the student in private and being a heck of a lot more reasonable. It may even be nice to ask the student , the students side of the story.The band which this student is a part of is scheduled to represent the school in a band competition and he was trying to create an image for the band with this trendy haircut.
