Yes, I've had blood drawn more times than I can remember. I was 11 years old when I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder and had to have regular blood tests. When I was 14 I contracted viral Encephalitis and had to have even more blood tests to check on medicine levels.
It's always worst the first time but you get used to it.

Yes i have its not so bad if you don't know that its going to happen. lol. In fact I gave blood when i turned 18, it was in school and it was a great way to skip a few classes and get some free cookies and orange juice. it just feels like a a med-hard pinch that you'd get by some annoying person. What was scary was that since they test the blood to make sure its clean i kept wondering if i had anything even tho i was a virgin but i kept thinking maybe i had something inherited. Luckily they found nothing and i was relieved.

I was 25 before I had any drawn, and then it was for medical reasons, not donations.
I find that it helps to not watch them do it; I've never been scared of MY blood, but watching it being drawn gets to me a little.

Because it is the first time you must be scared. I have done blood donation regularly and not really scared. Nothing really bad happens if some blood is drawn, Dont be scared.

LOL I have really small veins and the first time I had blood drawn the girl taking it tried 4 times could not get it, they brought in a guy who tried twice... then he recognized me as his bosses daughter so he got nervous and refused to do it... then some guy came in and stuck me 9 times... final this little old lady came in and got it on the first try. so it could be worst and if you get nervous ask for someone with a lot of experience

Yes and yuck! I was about 6-7 years old when I had blood drawn from my arm. I remember crying, but I don't remember screaming.
I have also had needles in my mouth at 11

well the first time can be a little scary, I guess. But it should be a breeze after this because now you see nothing bad happens to you, right?
How about considering to become a blood donor? You just might help save someones life by doing so.
Quick question, how do you draw blood? Do you use a red pen or is red paint is better?

Yes, many times. At first it is scary but once you're used to it, it isn't so bad. I've come to find there's a specific vein in my inside elbow joint that is easy to get, and blood comes out fast, so drawing blood just takes a few moments.
