If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.
Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.
A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as “I’m having a bad day, I could really use some hugs”, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explained——no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3
I was just settling into my new school and I already have a friend group!😃 They always consider me the team leader but one day a new girl came and basically took over my place! She acts really snobbish when my friends aren’t there and when she’s there they ignore me and start adoring her.
Hugs/advice?
Get some new friends. **huggsies** Just be yourself, and you will find some new friends.
*hugsss* Maybe try finding some new friends. Hope everything goes well! <3
Perhaps you should talk to your friends about it, I’m sure they will understand! Hugsss!!!
*Hugs!!!*
*hugs*
Hugssss sorry about that, I would talk to them and try looking for new friends
Ugh, these kinds of people are always the worst 🙁 I’m so sorry to hear about that; perhaps talking to your friends about it indirectly or directly might be the best idea, even if it requires a lot of courage to execute it yourself. I hope everything turns out well *hugs*
*Hugs*
*hugs* sorry, I don’t have any advice, except do what a lot of other people are saying, and find some new friends
Hey, I’m a new kid too. We can go through it together.
*hugssss*
I’d suggest starting to branch out and look for new friends. You deserve better. <3
Can I have some hugs? It’s just been a really horrible night with tons of emotions. I’d prefer not to get into too much detail, but I feel like my “friends” are all horrible friends and I’m really annoyed at my grandmother and just every little thing is bothering me. 🙁
*ExtraLargeHuggos*
Hugs, my grandparents annoy me all the time, I understand you so much!
*hugs!!!*
*hugs*
**LOTS OF HUGGSIES** you need some time to yourself. Don’t worry, if your friends are horrible friends, we’re still here for you.
*huggos*
*HUGSS*
HUGGGGS
*extrahugehugs*
I get it, it can be hard to find real friends, but I’m sure you can do it! I know you can. You’re an awesome person (or should I say cat? 🤔) and I’m sure anyone and everyone would want to be friends with you!
*hugssss* I’m so sorry to hear that, Breezo 🙁 remember that you are an amazing individual and never let those small things let you down!! Sending lots of hugs (again) <3
Hugsssss
*Hugs it 10000* <33
*hugs*
can i have some hugs? :/
*Hugs* <33
Hugs <33
Ofc! *hugs*
*hugs*
*Hugs*
*hugs*
Hugsss!!!!
SO. My nose has been bleeding irregularly (as in like, too often), twice today… Ive gotten used to this but its stopped me from doing certain things. My parents think its caused by exhaustion. This has happened las spring till around mid autumn, during the summer holiday, of when i was in china, it was especially intense (the bleeding). Its just getting annoying and kinda boring.
Advice? :,D
no advice but *Hugs*
I’m used to getting nosebleeds when I’m stressed out. A wet washcloth helps, only cold water. Warm water will make it worse. **lots of huggos** Also, if it is from exhaustion, take some time to rest. Oh, and after a nosebleed goes away, DON’T TOUCH YOUR NOSE OR IT MIGHT START AGAIN.
I uh- i just let it bleed, wipe it with my hands till it stops :,D Idk if its from exhaustion.
*hugs*
*hugs* I have no advice, sorry!
*Hugs*
*hugs* I don’t get bloody noses often, but my first one was caused by my older brother throwing a booster seat at my face 😛
Oof-
Hugssss!!!!! Sorry, I have no advice but I hope you’re going to be alright!
Guys, I need hugs. I just realized, at the end of the year, they take our chromebooks away for the summer, right? THIS CHROMEBOOK IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TECHNOLOGY, SO I WONT BE ABLE TO BE ON BLOGCLAN UNTIL THEY GIVE US OUR CHROMEBOOKS BACK :'(
i’m so sorry 🙁 we’ll be waiting for our to come back! HUGGGS <3
Tyyyyyyy :'(
Noooooooooooo *HUGS*
*Suffocates as Maplekit hugs. THANK YOU ;”(
why does that always happen? My brother and all my friends suffocate me too! 😛
*hugs* I hope they don’t, but if they do, we’ll miss you, Oddpaw! You’re such an amazing person <3
Tyyyy, 🙁 I will miss u all <3
*GIVES MASSIVE HUGS* I will miss you Oddpaw!
Tyyyyyy
OH NO!! I’m so sorry Oddpaw 🙁 If you do end up leaving, I’ll put a memorial of you in my name until you come back 😛
*gives a bunch of hugs and catnip from the Hazelpage*
Yesss!
Tyyyy, *eyes light up as Oddpaw sights catnip
*HUGGOSS*
*HUGSSS* I think I might also have to do the same thing! I am using a school chromebook and I’m pretty sure we have to give it back over the summer, I’m too scared to ask. I’ll miss you though! *HUGGOSS*
*Hugs* I’m sorry, we will miss you and we will be here when you get back!
do you have an ereader? I use the web browser on mine for blogclan. Every kindle ereader has a web browser I think.
**hugssss**
Ouch, maybe sneak on to your parent’s phone or something 💅
😭😭😭😭😭😭We will miss you, Oddpaw!😭😭😭😭😭 Lots of huggossss!!!
hi everyone i think I need some huggos
I would rather not go into too much detail but my mom just told me a lot about my dad, who she is now divorced to. It’s just a lot to take in and on top of so much schoolwork and friend drama its really just too much to take. So now that I’m not comfortable hanging with my friends and being alone with thoughts my fav thing to do these days is aimlessly scroll on blogclan lol—any advice or hugs pls?
You sound a lot like what a friend of mine is going though. She seems to be coping well and if you want, ill ask her for advice since i dont have any.
*HUGS*
*Hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs* I kind of had to deal with that as well, but I was young and forgot it after a bit of time. Let yourself have some you time, but also keep contact with your friends! We are all here for you! <3
Hugssssssss!!!!!!! Perhaps you should try to do some other hobbies too instead of mindlessly scrolling, because being addicted to your phone isn’t going to make you feel better.
I think I’m bigender. I really want to look like a boy. I’m not exactly out yet though… I don’t even know if the word is right for me. Sometimes I feel like a girl, sometimes like a boy, and sometimes like both at the same time. But sometimes when I feel like a girl (my birth gender) I feel like I’m just faking the whole thing. Hugs/advice?
*huggs*
Hope you find your gender identity soon,we support you <33
*Gives massive hugs* I don’t really have Stormshot. But yeah, you’re probably bi-gender. As time goes on, you will know what gender suits you.
What I meant to say is that I don’t have any advice
youre not the only one 🥲
*hugs*
*Hugs* It will take time to figure yourself out 🙂
just be yourself <333 I'm a bit of a tomboy myself lol. You don't have to like all the things that girls usually like. **hugs**
*hugs* no matter who you choose to be, remember that you’re amazing <3
*huggooooosssssssssssss*
Gender is hard. I do recommend looking into what Genderfluid is, aswell! From what you’re describing, it does sound very similar what I experience. (and I’m Genderfluid!!) One more thing- Please don’t feel pressured to come out. If it makes you uncomfortable, don’t do it. I came out to my parents- and it probably wasn’t the best idea. I don’t want you to end up in the same situation just because you feel like you need to do that. Good luck, and you’ll always have a safe space to talk about stuff here. 🙂
*more hugsssssssss and cookiessss*
*giant huggos*
gl stormy!! hope you find your gender identity soon!!
*more huggs*
*hugs* Oof, I really wish I had some advice for this. You can do it!
*hugs* You’ll find out eventually, explore every aspect of youself!
I hate taking medicine. It makes me feel horrible and I’ve been having some on-again-off-again stomach problems due to it. I don’t want to take my anxiety medicine anymore, even though it helps me my stomach always feels sorta weird when I do take it. I tried explaining this to my mom, but she just doesn’t seem to understand. 🙁
Hugs/advice?
Try chinese herb things, they work pretty well, smell interesting but not bad, and they dont taste foul (or have i just gotten used to it).
*hugs*
*Hugs* You could try talking to your doctor about it
*hugs*
I used to have extreme anxiety. I coped with it by distracting myself with music, games, books, etc. <333 **huggsies**
*hugs*
I’m in the same shoes as you, man 🙁 Unfortunately, I don’t really have much advice for you, other than to try talking to your doctor about it next time you see them
*HUGSSSS*
*hugs* there’s a lot of people who hate medicine but if it’s making it worse then either the doctor will notice something or just talk to the doctor? idk my advice is always kind of short but I’m great at hugs!!!!
*huggiessssss*
HUUGGSSSS
*hugs* I’m sorry, I don’t have any advice. Try talking to your doctor! <3
I feel scared and helpless about the world right now and how I think I won’t be able to change anything about it to improve life for the people around me.
Any hugs and/or help, please?
Aww Pandi I’m really sorry, just try to not put any pressure on yourself or set too high expectations. All I can really do is give you hugs and candy
*hugs* 🍭🍪🍬🍬🧁🧁🎂🎂🍰🍰🍫🍫
*hugs* The world can be a terrible place, and I feel you! Even small things can help, donate to a charity, or help someone out! You can most likely always help! <3
*hugs*
That was for silverpaw btw

It’s hard not to share too much detail about this, but a lot of people STRONGLY dislike me and spread rumors about me. And for these past few weeks someone has been telling me that my crush liked me back and said good things about me but whaddya know? They were playing with my emotions. He didn’t actually like me. He actually hated me. And then when I asked the guy why he did it he said, “Get over it”. I really thought I was smart.
Hugs please :((
*HUGSSS* Get away from those people, and find some good friends. No one, especially you out of all people, deserve to be treated like this! Ignore the rumors, and find some good people to surround yourself with. You better be okay soon! <33
Thanks Pumpkin <333
I’m soooooo sorry for you!! I know what it is like to lose friends, I had two best friends and they both abandoned me….
So much support! And just like Pumpkinpaw said, get away from those stupid people!
*HUGS*
In my school, around a fifth of 52 6th graders all hate me with passion lol. But only one of em have good reasons.The other nine-ish just despise me for no reason and i like that my existence makes them miserable. Some of them have said some pretty nasty things about me/behind my back. Stuff like “go slide tackle (my name), shes so weak (giggling)”. Or “Oh god i really hate that (tiger pose like thing)/furry, I dont get why you hang out with her so often ugh. Arent you (word id rather not type here)?”. The second one was from a hater of mine to my friend. Id say find one or two people who are close to the people who dislike you and ask them to tell you everything the hater(s) say, it get kinda funny later on. And with the rumors, theyve happened to me too, so id say jus ask some people who you dont necessarily trust, but know will tell you something if reminded multiple times of. With the crush thing, if he dislikes you so much, try to get over him. And with the rumors, ignore em or you can prove em to be true (if its like “omg Froggo sleeps upside down thats so weird” not stuff like “Froggo wont get hurt even if they jumped off a building”). If ya need me, ive got discord n roblox, you can always talk to me alright? HOPE THIS HELPS!
*HUGSS*
stupid people can be as stupid as they like, you just need to get away from them! you’re an amazing person froggo, I’m sure you’ll find great new friends! *huggs* have some cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*Hugs* Sorry that stinks
HUGS! How could people be so mean? 😡
*hugs* Ignore what they say. They can be stupid all they want, just don’t let their rumors ruin your day. You’re amazing, Froggo, no matter what they say <3
Hi guys! i just need to vent to someone rn so here goes
So at my church, before you can get baptized (which I’ve wanted to do for a while btw), you have to take a class for it. I just missed one, on March 25th, and so my dad signed me up for one on June 10th. I was so excited!!! Keyword: was.
This morning, I told my mom about it, and she said that i had one of my summer camps that way. I told her, doing my best to be calm and polite, that I felt being able to get baptized was more important than summer camp, and I meant it. And she said that she’d paid a lot of money for that camp and it’d already been decided that I have to go. That just kinda burst my bubble and I was just really upset with her, and I still am. But also now I really don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to tell my dad, and my student ministry leader at Church, that I can’t go because I thought sleepaway camp in New Hampshire was more important. And I also feel like that would be denying God and not prioritizing him the way I should… idk what to do…
Hugs/prayers/advice please?
*Hugs*
*hugs* I am a fellow christian and was also really wanting to get baptised for a while, although I got baptised about a month or two ago. I believe that you are in fact prioritizing God the way you should, just keep praying and asking God for advice, I can try to give you advice, he can help you much better than I can. I understand that you must have been really excited to get baptised, but if you have to wait until you get back from summer camp, I know that God will understand. Also, you don’t have to tell your dad or student ministry leader that you thought the summer camp was more important because, obviously, that is not true, just tell them the truth, I’m sure they will both understand.
Getting baptized is more important than a camp. (In my opinion camps are boring) *HUGGIES*
*hugs*
