[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MY HS junior has accepted an internship this summer. Because school let out so late this year, the internship started before school even ended. [b]It also interferes with a long planned family vacation[/b]. Is it OK for her to miss some time at an unpaid internship? I am worried that she will be exhausted to start the school year in the fall having no break. Anyone else in this situation and can give advice? [/quote]

Did she know about the 'long planned family vacation' before she accepted the internship?  It seems to me that the time to mention this would have been upfront (especially if it is something that was planned so far in advance).  Waiting for school to end was one thing (although she should have notified them as soon as she found that out).  This is about learning to be responsible and doing what is right.  As a junior in highschool, she might have made some mistakes, but use this as a learning experience to teach her to plan ahead.  [/quote]
