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
Help 😭 I got 6 or 7 hours of sleep last night, and woke up with a cough and a sore throat :c and then school was so stressful :,( so rn I just want to sleep but I still have a bit of homework and I need to take a shower :< and I hate showers but ugh I cannot not take one :,)
Edit ig idk :p : Oop did I just flip the page-
Aww, i hope things end up well!
Awww, everybody has bad days sometimes <3
*HUGS* Feel better!
Thanks Creamos <3
Sorry you feel down *Hugs*. I hope you have a good day/night!
*Hugs* i feel ya Koiiii! Have a cookie!🍪💗
Thank you 🙂
Aww, I’m so sorry Koi! Hugsss
I’m sorry this is happening to you, Koi! You must feel so overwhelmed and stressed </3 Please get well! *hugs*
Thanks ♥️
*hugs* Aw that sounds stressful, I’m so sorry 🙁 <3 *hugs*
I’m sorry, Koipaw. *hugs*
Hugsssss
Hope you feel better soon! Hugs hugs!
Thanks guys, I really appreciate this <3 I am sadly still pretty sick (feeling worse every day ugh, I think I have the flu or smth :/) but keeping my spirits up (no, not Spiritflight/walker/gaze 's, just spirits :p) Ahh hopefully I'm better soon :/
I’m having a horrible night.
I just found out that I got cut from my favorite scene in the musical because my director said I was too tall to perform the dance. Opening night is in two days and I don’t think he’s gonna change his mind. I’m insanely angry and furious and I’ve been crying all night about it. Like he LITERALLY cut me out of the dance because I was too tall and there wasn’t a costume for me, even though my measurements were done two months ago. LIKE HOW IN THE NAME OF SHINYCLAM—
And because of that I started crying backstage in front of everyone— my sorta crush Eaglestrike, my friends Squirrelfawn, Hollydash, and Lilybloom, and a few younger warriors. I’m just so mad and angry and I just want to scream and cry.
Hugs/advice??
Aww, some people are just so focused on one thing that they forget the people around them, are actual people. Being tall is amazing, and them not having a costume for you is kinda lousy imo. I hope it ends well!
*HUGS* * HUGS*
HOW DARE THE DIRECTOR DO THAT?! If he does that, he´s crazy. Don´t worry Breezy, you can go protest <3
*HUGs* don’t worry, maybe he’ll change his mind, have hope 🙂
*hugs* that’s so frustrating
and hey, don’t worry about crying in front of your friends/crush. If they think less of you for it, that’s on them, not on you. Crying is normal and perfecting fine for the situation
Here’s my advice: HIYAAAAAAA!!! *goes and tries to punch the director, but my sister Snowkit restrains me*
What?! That’s so unfair. I don’t really have any advice for you, but crying is normal and you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it! I’m a theatre kid too and I have been in situations like that before, so I know how it feels!
*Hugs* Wow i’d feel the exact same way and would probs not do anymore musicals with that director 😛 but unfortunately that “advice” is prob not that good so sorry Breezeeyyyy! <3 *Hugs Breezooo*
*hugs* I understand how frustrating that is! I’m so sorry this is happening to you! Just remember that we’re always here for you <3 Breezo, I’m sorry I have no advice for you, but keep going. Don’t let your director stop you from pursuing your passions. You’re awesome and I can tell already, even if I don’t know you well. Don’t let this get in your way <3
Uhhhh, that sounds SOO annoying! You have a right to be angry and upset. What type of costume is it? Becuase if you’re just wearing a fancy suit or dress, maybe you can order one in time for the musical. Don’t lose hope, you’re still in the musical, right? 🙂 Also, I agree with Darkfern, PROTEST!!
Oh no! I’m so mad at that director right now! Hope you feel better! Sending lots of hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️❤️
*hugs* Ah that must be so frustrating, I’m so sorry 🙁 *hugsss*
I’m so sorry! Sending many hugs Breezo.
****GIVES THE BIGGEST HUGGLES****
Hugssssss
WHAT??? *Hug*
Well, the obvious solution to this is to let me send an army of angry cats after the director for his unfairness so they can claw apart his couch and shred his curtains and munch on his houseplants, all of which he deserves.*Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs*
Bleh- headache 🥲
*hug* feel better!
Tyy! Cute pfp :0
🙂 thx
feel better soon
Oof ): *hugs*
*hugs*
Hugssss sorry, try drinking some water
Headaches suck! Shoo headache, shoo! Go away!
Sending hugs & headache-vanquishing vibes your way
I’m really not in a good place mentally right now. I just think I need some hugs <3
I'm not going to go into detail about it, but I'm not doing great
Hugs, I really hope you feel better soon
*Hugs*
*hugs* Feel better soon <33
*hugs* <3
*Hugs* get some rest and drink water 🙂
Sending a million hugs, Goldenbrook.
Hugsssss
Sending hundreds and thousands of hugs<33
Ok. So here goes. My former crush(I’m just gonna call him Skyfur) was crushing on me one year ago in 5th grade. Now In 6th grade, he kinda just sits at my lunch table, but doesn’t really notice me. But now I’m crushing on another guy, Eagleheart(just a holder name) and Eagleheart always has something funny to say, and actually tries spend time with me in school. I’m so torn! Who should I choose: Skyfur or Eagleheart?
Well if you don’t have any feelings for Skyfur, there’s no reason to pick him especially because you don’t spend time with each other as much as Eagleheart. You’re still young so relationships aren’t a big deal but yeh theres no reason to force yourself to like someone you dont genuinely really like
*Hugs*
*hugs* you don’t have to decide right away, but if you and Skyfur don’t have feelings for each other anymore, and you and Eagleheart do, I personally think Eagleheart would be a better choice, but in the end it’s all up to you! *HUGGGS*
I know…Misty, you’re making me cry! 🥲 I think Eagleheart is trying to flirt? I’m not really sure. He smiles and winks at me, talks to me a lot, and tries to beat me at Connect 4. When Eagleheart wins, he doesn’t make me feel bad about it. The problem is, Skyfur always keeps looking at me a lot when he sits at lunch with me. Does that mean that both Skyfur AND Eagleheart love me now? WHAT DO I DO?
in time, your heart will tell <3 maybe try hanging out with both of them, as friends? you might start leaning towards one more than the other eventually, or not. I hope you can sort things out soon! *HUGGGGS* (and some cookies and ice cream 🍪 🍨🍪 🍨 🍪 🍨🍪 🍨🍪 🍨 🍪 🍨🍪 🍪 🍨 🍪)
*gobbles down and quickly eats the 9 cookies and 7 ice cream*
*hugs*
HUGSSSSSSSSSS
Well, you said it yourself, Skyfur doesn’t exactly notice you. If Eagleheart is taking a visible interest to you, I’d say pick him, though this is coming from someone who’s never been in love😅 Also, as a fellow 6th grader, we’re still very young and don’t need to get caught up in the need for a bf(once again, I’ve never been in love, so I have no idea what your feeling rn, sry)
*hugs* I really don’t know… sorry ): *hugs*
You’re still young, in my opinion, you still have a time before relationships. BUTT you should pick Eagelheart :D😛but it’s you choice
*hugs*
I’d say whoever makes you feel the happiest when you’re around them! If that’s Skyfur, Eagleheart, or even neither, that’s fine!
*hugsssss*
I wish I had more advice for ya, but I’m not very skilled on this topic, and I’m kinda in the exact same situation myself (although it only involves one person). I hope things get better for ya tho Rose <333333 *hugssss*
*hugs*
None. But I give you a hug. *Lots of hugs*
*Hugs*
Technology at school is really gonna suck next week. We have to do a project about working with wood and I really hate that. And I’m scared to hurt myself. And I hate my teacher. Ugggggggggggggggh
I think you should talk to your teacher about it. *Hugs*
If you’ll be working with sharp objects like knives or other things to shape the wood, there will almost definitely be a safety briefing that will show you how to properly use the (insert sharp item name here) properly in order to keep you safe. And even if you do somehow get hurt, there will almost definitely be a first aid kit nearby.
*hugs* Stay safe <333
*hugs*
you should probably wear workshop wear for your safety
*huggssss*
Stay safe and dw about it <3 *hugsss*
Sending hugs, Fallowpaw
*HUGS* you can do it!!!!!!:D
You can do it!!!!! Just worry a bunch like me and be careful. VERY careful.
*Hugs*
My classmate Squirrelpaw is so annoying.
She asked what I thought of the spring musical (that I was in!). I said “it was meh, could be better.” As a joke, I added, “On a scale from 1 to 10, I’d rate it -5.”
She proceeded to say, “On a scale from 1 to 10, I’d rate it negative infinity.”
I mean, it was definitely not the best, but not bad enough to be rated a number that doesn’t exist, right*? And I didn’t want to argue back because then she might say that “you were the one who said it was bad first.”
I then tried to hint that I was in it, so I said “well, you shouldn’t really be rating it since you weren’t at the rehearsals”
and she said “I DON’T CARE”
like I actually worked really hard. I spent two hours every day at rehearsals and gave every rehearsal 100%. And even if she thought it was bad at least she could have been a little nicer about it.
hugs/advice pls?
*infinity is a concept, not a number 😛
It was incredibly rude of her to rate something you’re in badly on purpose, like she was literally trampling over your hard work >:0 Don’t let this annoying person ruin this for you! *hugs*
tysm, seedo!
HUGSS & COOKIESSSSSSSSSS
Yeah, that sounds super annoying! Maybe your friend is just jealous that you’re in the musical. Anyway, try to spend a bit less time with her, if she continues to be that bratty. Also, good luck with the musical! I KNOW you’ll do well! 🙂
ty olli!! (i already finished with all the performances but still thanks :D)
Good luck in the musical! And try to ignore your friend. If she is making you feel bad, then maybe she might not be the perfect friend for you. Why can I give so much good advice to others, and I can’t even sort out my problems with Skyfur and Eagleheart?
thanks rosie!! (i actually already did the musical but thanks anyway)
it’s perfectly fine to not have your own problems sorted out and still be able to give others advice. i feel like that sometimes lol ^^
*hugs* Ah I feel ya, that’s so annoying 🙁 *hugs harder*
ty coniferpaw <3
*hugsssssss*
From one theatre kid to another, I’m so so sorry this has happened to ya. It was downright horrible for her to undermine your hard work and achievements in the musical. Even if you feel like a show hasn’t gone well, it’s always a nail in the heart when your friend tells you it’s horrible. 🙁
I’d suggest telling your friend how you felt when she made those comments. Say something along the lines of “When you made those comments about the musical, it really hurt my feelings and made me feel like I’m not appreciated or valued.” If she doesn’t listen to you, then she’s not worth your time and it’s probably a good idea to reconsider her as a friend. Friends should never tear each other down and disrespect the others’ feelings.
*more hugggosssssss*
:O i caught a wild fiddler on the roof
thanks breezo. idk if i’m comfortable with confronting her about it yet but i will eventually. (hehe don’t judge i’m just special that way) knowing her, her response will be to apologize over and over again, which again makes me feel obliged to say “it’s okay.” (again don’t judge i’m quirky ok?)
anyway sorry if i sound salty but that’s really great + solid advice
*hugs!*
tysm icy!
*hugs back*
*HUGS* avoid her maybe or tell her that you were joking?
tysm for the advice~
*hugs back*
Advice: do the festival and ignore Squirrelpaw. *Hug*

my bestie just broke up with her boyfriend and BIG CHAOS.

BRO WHAT DID I DO??????
