I try and donate blood whenever I can. I am a bit Anemic, but I'm usually still able to give.

Not old enough yet But they have to take some blood out, not as much as donating blood, once every 2 years. That's just to see if I'll have diabetes or something. I like watching it fill up with blood.

Too young right now, but in a few years: sure. I don't really have a problem with needles.

I'm really not sure about my answer. It's between "I don't dare" "I'm not allowed to" and "It's my blood!"

I'm too young to donate my blood, and even when I am old enough, I wouldn't want to. I have a serious problem with needles. I guess I have too many memories of having a lousy IV in my hand. You know, having roughly a thousand shots administered to me within two hours has a tendancy to make me not like needles, heh. And besides, I have my own problems. If I keep up my current luck with coordination, chances are, I'm going to be the one needing blood. I might as well savor my blood while I still have my vessels full of it. Sorry, guys, but I just don't see myself giving blood.

When did you get 1000 shots in 2 hours?? Goodness!!!

I had an IV in my arm once. Didn't bother me a bit. In fact, needles don't bother me at all. If I knew it was sanitary, I'd probably let someone stick one in me for a dollar. Mwahahahaha! I'm so weird. I actually think it's kind of cool when they draw blood and you can see the little vial filling up and you're like "Whoa... dude... that's my blood..." *shrugs*

I'm not old enough yet, but I'm sure I will when I turn 18. In fact, I'm going to start planning my 18th birthday right now! I'm going to A. Get a check card, B. get the "under 18" thing removed from my liscense, C. give blood, and D. get a tatoo. Well, the D isn't a deffinate but... a possibillity! Hmm, only a year, 4 months, and 6 days to go!

I kind of enjoy the needle... I'm afraid of needles, but like GhostOfAMemory said, it's like "Whoa... dude... that's my blood..." And the needles is like "omg I really have a needle in my arm and it suck my blood" !

Ooo and dentists
They should put the nedle in the leg or something for those who are afraid of needles and dont wanna look at it... okok bad idea i know. But it doesn't really hurt, and the bandage is soooo cool that it's worth the needle! I usually wear a t-shirt or something with short sleeves so that everyone can see my cool bandage! Even thou it has stoped bleeding I usually wear it the whole day

They dont give you lolipops and candy so you will get cavities? And then they can use all those tools and drill and stuff. And use anaesthesia with there big needles!

I remember when I was in... a city, and I saw a candy store and the denstist in the same building. I think they even shared the same front door!

I like the dentist too! And the needle isn't tiny It's a needle, it's not like a pole or something... but it's big to be someting you got under your skin. It's kind of yucky really.
