Go buy a small box of black tea bags. Dunk a couple in some water to get them wet, then set them on top of your sockets. The tannins will reduce and/or stop the bleeding. You'll need to press them down a bit for full contact, but don't jam them down on the socket or it will suck.

Worked great for me.

I second this.

I never had issues with bleeding or dry socket but I was in my early 30s when I had to have mine out and it hurt like a motherfricker because they had to go into the bone to extract them. It took a bit for the tendons in my jaw to loosen back up.
