I haven't because I'm not 17. When I am I don't think I will either.

I haven't yet, but I only turned 17 last wednesday so it hasn't been an option thus far.
I definitely will do in the near future though.

I really want them to either let me donate or shut up about how important it is, when they're clearly not that bothered.

I can't give blood due to receiving many a blood transfusion myself.
