Blood groups are identified as A B AB and O. O is the most common and is considered the universal donor as it has antibodies of both the A and B blood groups. O also lacks the antigens in other blood groups that would cause agglutination of the blood and lead to possible death.
If you belong to the blood group A, you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and B antibodies in your blood plasma.
If you being to the blood group B, you have B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and A antibodies in your blood plasma.
If you belong to the blood group AB, you have both A and B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in your blood plasma. People with AB blood type are considered the universal recipient, and can receive blood from all blood types. AB- blood is considered the rarest type of blood
If you belong to the blood group  O you have neither A or B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells but you have both A and B antibodies in your blood plasma. O+ blood is the most common blood type.
There is also the RH factor. You will be either  RH+ or RH-. If you are RH+, you can receive blood from a donor that is RH-, however if you are RH-, you can't receive blood from an RH+ donor because your blood lacks the natural antibodies found in RH+ blood. However you CAN develop these antibodies, but they  are basically antibodies to your own blood.
