Hi, I'm 13 and my mom told me I can get paid for giving blood at our local Red Cross, but will they accept blood from me? My blood type is A positive I believe.

I have nothing to sell, last one I didn't sell anything. And I can't babysit or dog sit etc because if something happens to them they'll blame it on me and probably sue. And third I can't sell poetry and art work becuase its not copywritted and anyone can take it and claim it as there own.

And I candy my parents won't let becuase there are alot of molesters in my area, and all of the really low class kids, that have really low test scores sell candy, so my mom doens't want people to think I am one of them. And on ebay noone buys my stuff, so I end up oweing money.

I believe you have to be over 18, but if your Mom says it's OK, perhaps they are willing to accept someone under 18 with a parent's signature. I've never heard of the Red Cross paying for blood, however.

Who Can Give Blood
Virtually any healthy person can donate blood. There are very few restrictions: Your health must be good. You must weigh at least 110 pounds. And you must be more than 17 years old.*
In some areas of the country, if you are more than 65 and wish to give blood, you may need permission from the blood center's physician. In certain states, if you are 17 years old, you may need written permission from your parent or guardian.

No.. Usually a 13 year old cannot give blood, unless they're giving it to a relative (family member, etc). Usually the age for donating blood for money is 16 or 17, depending on your state.
If you're looking for options to make money, I'd recommend the following:
Have a yard sale (make sure you're safe)
Babysit (make sure you trust the people)
Sell things on eBay (get mother/father's permission)
Walk dogs / Pet Sit (make sure you trust the animals and the owner's)
Sell candy (make sure you get permission from Mom)
Sell sodas at a yard sale (make profit off of them)
Make artwork / poems and sell them to people
Buy stuff and resale it making profit (for example: Buy an outfit on sale and buy it). You can get sizes or stuff your friends like and sell it to them for profit. Do not tell them where or how much it cost.. HAHA
Get disability money from the government or your state if you have a disability. If not.. try to get disability money for your anxiety.
Good luck! Have fun on your journey to making income!

The Red Cross does not pay for blood. All blood is given on a volunteer basis and I believe you ave to be at least 17. Your mom is mistaken.

I don't think that the Red Cross, pays for Blood, but there are
places that do. They have a place where I live (illinois), that pays for Plasma. I'm sure that you have to be over 18.
