I'm not allowed to because I was born in England/lived there for a long time.
Seriously. They think I have mad cow disease. People from Britain aren't allowed to donate blood over here. O_O I would totally donate some if they would let me, because I like having blood drawn. |

I donate quite often. They have the blood drives here in the hospital, so it's pretty convenient. They also offer an addition 8 hours of PTO (paid time off) if you donate 3 times in a fiscal year.
Also, since I'm O Negative (universal blood type) I've always felt that I should donate. |

I've never donated blood before, because I'm only 16 and I'll be 17 in May. But I still won't be able to donate until I'm 18.

Nope.
I'm kind of afraid of blood and I can't bear seeing the sight of it being pumped from my body. O_o |

No, not yet. I'm 16 now and I weigh enough to donate, now, but I have a great fear of needles. I'm totally fine with the blood part- just the thought of needles piercing my skin irks me. I really hope I will, sometime in the future, though. |

It honestly doesn't hurt that much. Every time I've given blood I turned it into a competition w/ friends to see who could do it the fastest and see whose blood was the best. I usually won fastest and always had the best blood :D
They would give us a foam ball to squeeze and the more we squeezed the more blood pumped and the more was taken. Man y'all have never given blood, and I've given a double dose lol. I guess it's cuz I'm no where near the min weight and males have an easier time getting high amounts of iron in their blood *shrug* |

Yeah I got O negative too oO. I got tons of iron in mine too. Whatever the measurement thing is, I get like a 48 when they test my iron. I think the minimum to donate is like 36?

I'm not sixteen, and I'm usually not at 110 pounds.
:( I wonder how large the needle is? I used to get my blood taken a lottt for tests (like every four weeks or less), and I'd always be like wiped out after.

Oh yeah the blood taken out of you really does wipe you out. I forgot one day that I had given blood and went for a 3 mile run that night, only to remember as I was getting home, feeling incredibly weak. I did this right before spring break too oO. Took like 3 days to recover.
