No, modern pencils contain graphite (not lead) and therefore you cannot get lead poisoning from them. Also, yes because if you can find a pencil with lead still in it you can get lead poisioning.....(obviously)

You tell your parents or if there's nobody there, either call your doctor. You could either get led poisoning or blood poisoning. But if you get the led out with a pin then you could give it a couple days but if the stab starts to get warm then it might be getting infected. I would put some Neosporin on and if its a big cut then put a band aid on. You see, I just got stabbed with a pencil by my friend and my mom had to get the led out with a pin and it HURT! :(

Can you get lead poisoning from a pencil?
Actually "lead" is compressed graphite which is really harmless
Why is pencil lead made out of Graphite?
Because pencil "lead" is not lead. Pencils haven't used lead cores since Roman times. However, lead poisoning was still possible up until the mid 20th century as the painted wooden casing often contain high concentrations of lead. Confusion about the source of the poisoning may have led (sic) people to think the core was actually made of lead, however the term "lead" does not refer to the carbon element itself, it's just a general term for a pencil's core. "Put some graphite in your pencil" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "put some lead in your pencil".
