Freshman resume questions

Hi all, I will be a freshman at a target next year looking to get finance-related internships and eventually into IB/PE. When applying for internships after freshman year:

Should I include a PWM internship I did before my junior year of high school? It was valuable, but I obvious didn't have a lot of independence (I was 16 after all). Do I list or does this look like BS?

I know people say not to include jobs in restraints/summer jobs etc if they aren't academic or prestigious, but I will be a bartender this summer (before I get to college). Is this at least worth listing as an activity?

Thanks!
