Is 16 too immature to donate blood?
I'm writing a paper about 16 year olds being competent to donate blood. A lot of states allow it now but I am still hesitant. The questions I hold are the following:
1. What adverse reactions do you see happening at blood drives?
2. Do 16 y/o tend to have more adverse reaction than older donors?
3. Females more than males?
4. Do you think the laws will adaptation where people younger than 16 can donate?
5.Do you think it's harder to find vein on 16y/o?
6. In order to donate at 16, most states require a parental consent. How many donors do you think forge their parent/guardian's signatures to know how to donate?
7. Do 16y/o comprehend the seriousness of the consent forms and the overall donation process?
8. Do the 16 y/o listen to the things that they need to do before and after they donate?
9. Do 16 y/o have the stratum of maturity it takes to donate blood?
10. Would it be a more pleasant experience if for the first time, a 16 y/o donated in a structured setting (donor room vs. elevated school gym)?
11. For anyone that is 16 and has donated, please describe your experience. List the state you donated surrounded by, the place (i.e. gym, church), if you had any complications and if you think you will donate again within the subsequent 6 months.
Thank you!

nope
Anyone can donate blood. All your questions can be answered by any Red Cross official. That is the best source of information for a question approaching this. I've donated blood many times and there are no restrictions other than the amount of blood you can donate at one time. You cannot donate twice inwardly a specific time frame.
The blood drives are very good about asking in the order of allergies to the cleansers (or just use a different one to start with). The only adverse reactions I've see is where people don't feel very well and they lay down with a wet towel on their head until they get the impression better. It is more likely to have a problem donating when you are younger than older, which is subdivision of the reason there was debate going on for lowering the donating age so I don't think it will change to lower than 16. I think females tend to enjoy more problems just because they tend to be smaller and, therefore, give a bigger percentage of their blood. I doubt several forge signatures because most people don't consider it that big of a deal if you can't donate. I don't think the consent forms for donating are serious so the overall process, recommended goings-on, and maturity level shouldn't be an issue. Usually if someone is working harder than they should, they realize it and are really tired and adjust. As far as location-I think it would concern more on how confident I was in the people doing the hypodermic sticks.
I have donated since I was 17 in Iowa. I don't know if you can be 16 very soon or not, but you had to be 17 with parents permission when I 1st did. I donate probably 3-4 times/year so I digit I will donate again soon.
