That's exactly why my first time wasn't pleasant. My nurse actually left me unattended and I apparently donated more blood than I was supposed to. Never doing that again at the same location.*

Spot on. But It's always worth donating. Makes you feel all happy. ;u;
Yeah. I feel bad for not being able to, because O- is really important to have in stock,
and I keep hearing stories about people who couldn't get blood transfers because they were O- and there was none available...
Since it's the blood they use in emergencies when they can't know the person's blood type...
It's like a curse.

No. I probably weigh enough but I'm still in elementary school, I don't think I can.
While we're on the blood donation topic:
A friendly reminder to everyone, please try to carry your official blood type card on you as much as possible!
If you need blood, this is the first thing that will be looked for, and they will look in your wallet first!
It can save your life and help save up universal blood (O-) that is a short supply, and is needed by other O- people who cannot recieve any other blood.
I always have mine in my wallet:
I learned all this in highschool and I asked my parents for it, it has been with me ever since.

Thanks this is extremely useful. Universal donor over here. :^)
Blood donation cards aren't common where I am. Heck, I hadn't even heard of a blood donation card until this post.
I do carry around a card that says I'm a bone marrow donor, in case I don't survive an accident or something.
I should just write my blood type on the back of that card lol
It's not a blood donation card per say,
it's a card that certifies your blood type that you get when you are born.
At least here in Europe!
It allows the rescue team to know what blood type you need if you have an accident and need an urgent transfusion.
Because if they don't know and they don't have the time to test they will use O- blood.
I also carry my organ donor card with me.
I am on the donor list and proud of it!
I don't know if they will consider the blood type if you write it yourself,
but I guess it's better than nothing? Theoretically they need to be sure so they need the official card.

How convenient, we don't have that here. I didn't know my blood type until after my first few times donating blood when I was in high school. My siblings definitely don't know their blood types.
As for the authorities, they're bound to believe you if you state your blood type since it's your life on the line, but not believing explicit writing? Huh. Maybe in America it's different, considering we don't have blood identification of any kind lol. Makes me wonder how we deal with those situations (but I'm too lazy to look it up atm). >_>

I'm not 18 (yet), so I can't yet, but I don't think I'll donate.
Last time I had some blood taken, I had a weird vision, like I saw everything in Brown & Black and it was creepyyyyy. So, if I have to donate, it'll be more blood, and my body won't stand it! xD
Plus I have AB+ blood type, so my blood will be only of use to 2% of the population, as the AB+ is a worldwide receiver, whilst the O- is a worldwide giver. So, yep
I'm luuuucky. A lot of people in my family are AB+ ^_^
I can get any of you guys' blood MOUHAHAHAHHAAH. (except if you have aids, ha, don't want to get it xD)
EDIT: had to add the 'yet' xD
