Full stop. You're in high school buddy. You don't need to worry about this shit. Enjoy being young. If you're hard set on finding an internship, start cold emailing/LinkedIn messaging and showing interest at anything you can uncover. People will be tickled pink you're reaching out at your age and even if you don't get an internship, if you can have some phone calls and keep in touch with a few folks it'll go a long way down the line. 

But seriously, please, don't waste your senior year obsessing over this. Enjoy the freedom and fuck around a bit. Have fun.
