I'd do them, but my parents won't let me because I have to be around 16 or over to donate.

I've been denied before because my blood pressures too low! (they thought the blood would come out too fast and I'd pass out).
Otherwise, I do every chance I get (every few months).

I try to, but recently it's been difficult because I walk an average of two miles every day on my college campus, and trying to do that after giving blood...I don't want to experience that .___.

I would never do it Too terrified of needles and only like 95 lbs
Donating blood is such a fulfilling experience, omg. * ^ * <333 I've donated a solid 7 times in the past three years, and I've never had complications or regrets. I feel even better knowing that I have type O - blood; universal donor aww yeee B) <3
I've only donated once and my experience wasn't great. I would do it again, but not at the same campus I got it done at.
If they give out free food I'm more likely to do it as I feel woosy afterwards and being able to eat something really helps.

They are really careful about that stuff and don't want you passing out.
Every time I donate, I am always given food and water. Always. Before and/or after, depending on how hungry I am. I usually donate to the Red Cross or some other organization that appeared on my college campus.
I said I was a little dizzy once (it really wasn't that bad) and the nurses were all over me. They told me to lie on the ground, so I was just lying there with my legs elevated and everything despite insisting I was fine lol.
So I don't think they'd leave you hanging; they do ask if you are a little dizzy or woozy afterwards.

Anyway, I've donated over the years and it's really nothing. Just wait to be called, lie down, donate, then eat/drink.
I don't recommend donating blood on a really hot day because you can pass out.
I've also been rejected once for being low on iron, but it was because I was in jogging mode every other day.
I'm not allowed to medically, sadly.
It's a real shame because my blood type is is O- and we really need O- blood...
Other O- need it desperatly and all other blood types can benefit from it.
I would if I could though.

I can't donate due to my low weight and low iron levels :/
I donated the first time because I wanted to find out my blood type. xD Now that I do know, I don't really like to do it. Mostly because I'm AB+ so I can pretty much only donate blood to those who also have AB+ blood, so it's kinda moot since AB+ blood can pretty much receive any type of blood...
I've only donated blood one other time, and that wasn't a very good time. I almost passed out in the chair and then I guess they didn't put the needle in properly because I got a bruise at the site. It's starting to go away at least.

i'm not mean
I've donated a few times. I've got AB+, so It's always nice donating.
I thought AB+ was only beneficial to other AB+ who can recieve any type of blood anyway?
