i saw on a commerical on the show juvies on mtv that this one kid got arrested for battery, what does that mean?

Depends on what state you live in. Some states have Battery as putting your hands on a person who doesn't want to be touched- doesn't even need to be that you beat them up.

Some states like my home of NY for example don't even have Battery listed in the penal code and just classify it as Assault.

Please don't watch TV; ESPECIALLY Mtv looking for sources of true life crime or really anything.
