My school takes part in blood donations, and if I were sixteen I'd take part. Though, part of my problem would be getting a nurse that knows what the heck she's doing; my creative writing teacher was telling us about the drive she went to last year for a leukemia student and the lady she got was a total IDIOT, swirling the needle around in her arm trying to get the blood in the needle; my teacher ended up with a bruise from her wrist to her shoulder when the minor hemmoraghe (sp?) the nurse caused went away.

There is a weight requirement and I don't meet it. I am slightly underweight so I can't donate.
I don't think I would though anyway...unless a family member needed it. They take about 1/7th of your blood and...well...thats 1/7th of your blood that isn't in your system until it builds up again...what is it, two weeks before it builds up? I'm pretty sure I would not be able to function  A friend of mine donated and she met the weight requirement only because she was muscular...the loss of blood caused her to pass out and she was extremely ill for about a week... scary

I'm somewhat overweight, and I could probably handle it as long as I had something to keep me moving after. Like a wheelchair. XD Kidding, but I'd still donate.
May 19, 2009 I'm going with my dad in two hours to go and donate; we were just watching TV and a commercial came up about the Central Blood Bank. My dad donates blood every year, think it's because his blood type is one of the ones that's most needed, and he asked me if I ever thought about donating blood and we got to talking about his appointment today and I said I'd go too. So, that's what we're doing today. I'm a little nervous; Mom's got me all worried about passing out. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, but should I be drinking water or eating something before I go so I don't pass out? >_>; I'm a sleepy person by nature so I'm a little worried.

Ah! Don't worry; your doing this for a great cause. I wish I were that brave - then again, I'm underweight. xD
control yourself; take only what you need from it. a family of trees wanted to be haunted. ♥ MGMT.

XD I didn't get to, my blood iron's a little too low. 11.2 I think she said; probably because I'm on my period. Bad move. >>; I can go back again in 3 weeks, they're at the church place thing every Monday. I'm also gonna cut back on tea. A LOT.

It has tannin in it, which supposedly inhibits the absorption of iron.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *squeal*
I -finally- donated blood last night at the St. Thomas church; that's where the Central Blood Bank does donations in my town. And for some reason afterward, I felt great. A little lightheaded, and my fingers on my left arm were tingly because of the tourniquet thing, but I didn't experience nausea or super lightheadedness like you hear about. My iron was finally high enough; I've been struggling since my last post in April to bring it up and it was finally a 12.9; they were allowing me a 12.5 possibly due to my height or weight or something, I didn't get the chance to ask. >.> And because I turned 17, I can officially be a donater and I'll be getting my card in a few weeks. ^_^ Donating blood is definitely a good thing - your body essentially rejuvenates itself after you donate that much blood - and I'm really glad that I was able to go with my dad to do this. ^^ The lady that did the needle in my arm knew what she was doing and I only felt a faint pinch when she put it in, and I didn't even feel it when she pulled it out. Though that was probably because of the bandage being pulled off at the same time! XD When another lady came to let me sit up, I let her know I felt a little lightheaded, and she put the chair back to a sorta slanted position and walked over to the kitchenette area, and I looked over at my dad with a 'wtf' look on my face. She told me to pick my head up, so I did, and the next thing I know I've got something SERIOUSLY COLD on my neck and I squealed a little. XD It was just a cold cloth to wake me up. It worked. XD But I had some decaf pepsi and a cookie and I was eventually on my way. The people there were all really nice. ^_^ I was rather giggly for the rest of the night, and that's one reason why I wasn't on last evening. XD Slept really good though.
