Answers:
Some blood tests are so quick they are over before you know what's happening!. Like, they put a sort of clip over the end of your finger, and fire a little pin into it, just enough to pierce the skin and then they take the drop of blood that appears and that's the end of the test!. It's a pin prick!. It's too fast to be sore, but you feel it!.
Other times they need a bit more so they stick a needle into one of the veins on the inside of your elbow and pull some blood up through the needle into a small syringe!. I don't like either of them, but they are more achey than painful!. You feel them like you would feel the cat scratch you, or prick your finger on a rose thorn or something, which you get over really quickly!. It's just the thought of someone sticking a needle into you that gets to be really grim, hey, I don't look, and I give blood as a donor, so just be brave when the time comes and be a warrior!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hehehe awww poor luve!. its not like a normal injection, the needle they use is really thin and small!. it wont hurt, and it doesnt have much of a after feeling either!.

you get them if you donate blood, if doctors think you have something wrong with you thats related to the blood stream, or for testing what you may or may not be immune to!. its possible that you will never have to get one, and if you do, then dont worry, it is very easy =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

if the person taking your blood is good then usually you just feel the prick of the needle in your vein!. it's not too bad!. just look away!. most people have a blood test for just normal check-ups!. if you have something wrong with you the dr takes blood to run tests!. there's hundreds of reasons to take blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im sixteen and i dont think blood tests hurt!.
people get them to test for whether they have a certain illness or something like that!.
you might have to get one if you have the symptoms of glandular fever, for example!. i did!.
if you have to get one, dont stress!. its a short little prick and thats all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends on the person who does it actually and what he uses to numb your senses!. if they do it right you wont feel anything!.
People get them to check their health, or donate them to charities!. You should have one once in a while (A year or two to check how healthy you are)
it would be like a small ant biting you!.
Good Luck :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

as you grow you'll need some!.!.!.!.
and if you're very scared of the needle!.!.!.!.!.I recommend you don't get pregnant soon, because you'll get at least 3 blood tests in your 9 months of pregnancy!.!.!.!.

[[lol hopefully this prevents 1 teen pregnancy from happening]]Www@Answer-Health@Com

well at first it hurts when the needle goes in!.!.!.after that its a slight pain, but bearable because the needle stays in!. but its only the first part going in that hurts!.
its fast so no worry!.
