How to deal with getting shots?

Home More advice Health

I have to get a um..some kind of Shot that Girls are required to get-meningitist. :( I am so freaked about it, and I keep crying. My mom told me I could get it on my butt instead of th muscle in my arm, because my arm's very sensitive. Would it hurt more in the arm? And if I have to get it in the arm, how do I prevent myself from tensing up, because I always do that and it makes it 50% worth. And I always look at the needle when they inject me!-I can't stop looking, cause I like to know WHEN it's going in me. To ease me, I'm taking my favorite stuffed animal with me. Please help. :(
