Kids these days..
This year for my SSC ('Student Selected Component') I'm doing a project involving handing out questionnaires each week at paeds diabetes clinics (yep I gotta be that person -_-) and I'm honestly intimidated by some of 12/13/14 year olds - especially the girls. For one, they are almost all taller than me. They all wear perfectly applied make-up and fashionable clothes have that moody, 'back-off' teenagery look - I feel an absolute noob going up to them and their parents with my cheery annoying "Hi there I'm a fourth year medical student... " Even worse, today I had just arrived and hadn't put my ID badge on yet and one of the nuses asked if I was a patient?! Seriously, at a paediatric clinic? Oh dear π When did kids start looking so old?
