Have you ever donated blood before? I haven't, and I don't think that I ever will. I know that there's a big need for blood to be donated, but I just don't feel comfortable with a stranger sticking me with a needle and drawing my blood.

I believe in it and I have done it before, and so has my sister.

I have seen first hand how important blood donations can be. It saves lives.

I donate blood regularly and it feels very rewarding to me to know that I am actually helping someone in need. I don't have any problems with a professional sticking a needle in my arm - that is, by the way, how they do the blood tests too, so you can't really be squirmy about this stuff in case you'll have to go get them done.

I'm scared of needles and I can't donate blood because I need one lolz. I don't even know my blood type. @_@

Yeah, but that doesn't make me feel comfortable at all. When my art teacher went to go donate blood, she got a call from them saying that she had disease. She had to go get all of this work done, and she found out that she was completely healthy.

I haven't donated blood yet. But my mom did already. I think it's good. It helps a lot of people.

I would love to, I really would, but I'm pretty scared of needles. Since I've been checking my grandma's blood lately, I'm beginning to feel a little better about blood. I hope one day I can donate.. that would be nice!
