Platelets form blood clots when you have a cut and start bleeding. They rush up to where the cut is and form a clot to help prevent a massive loss of blood. People who either don't have enough platelets or none at all have a condition known as ITP or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which causes a person to have trouble trying to stop an injury (Example: cuts) from bleeding.
