[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your son is doing the right thing.

What the girl did was wrong.  We don't know if she put the falsified position on her college application, but we do know that she put it on her personal website.  That itself is wrong, and she should remedy it because that goes beyond puffery into outright lying.  I would hope that her teacher or counselor talking to her would, at the very least, make her think twice before wrongly claiming credit in the future.  Learning that lesson now could be good for HER - it might help her be more honest at least in some respects, which is a good trait to have.  Because you don't know if she included it on her college application, I wouldn't contact the college directly, and I think talking to her high school authorities is the best course.

And, I understand getting upset when someone takes credit.  If your son did the work for the position, it is understandable that he would not want that hard work to be diminished in this fashion.[/quote]
