Question

I got a dui in 1987 in s.c., at the time i was 16 and turned 17 -2 days later.

I moved back to fl. and now 24 years later they put a hold on my FL. . D.L. I paid the fines and and sent them documents of proof that i went to alcohol counseling and they said the evaluation had to be up to date.

No more than a year old. How can this be legal when i got the dui 24 years ago, that is when i completed what i was told i needed to do. I had a fl. lic. up until i went to renew them.

Does a juvenile record still count as an adult?

Answer

If south carolina is anything like florida then it's not surprising since some jurisdictions are late in catching up with outstanding conditions. Your case is not unheard of. However, you need to talk to a South Carolina attorney. And yes, for DUI purposes and any traffic offense for that matter, it still "counts."
