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 โIโm having a bad day, I could really use some hugsโ, 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 explainedโโno matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3
I crying a lot rn. Itโs morning, I have an assignment due that I didnโt get the chance to finish, my parents are forcing me to go to school and turn it in just as, and I slept through my alarm clock. Of course my school district had to be the only one in the country that starts their elementary and middle kids before eight! ๐ข๐ก Oh, and on top of all this, itโs supposed to reach 92 today, and I have to walk home๐ฅต
Hugssssssss!!!!!!! Ur amazing, Olive
aww *Hugs*
About the assignment, don’t let ur parents force you to turn in something unfinished. Tell them you value your assignments and grades and that you would like to finish it, and maybe ask your teacher for extra time <3 hope that works for !
that must be terrible!!!!!!!! **LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGGOSSSS**
*huggos!*
Oh breadsticks, that sounds rough. I hope your teacher(s) understand about your assignment!
*MORE HUGS!*
*hugs*
*hugsss* I’m so sorry, Olive *sends a truck full of ice cream*
I’m so sorry! Lots of hugs!!! I wish you the best of days! <3<3<3<3<3<3
Update: School was actually really fun, and even though I probably overreacted, I do get really sleep deprived from waking up really early. At least the school ends in a week or so. Thank you so much to everyone who gave me hugs, and hugs to anyone who needs it
OOO(in xoxo, the o means hugs)
P.S., my eye keeps twitching, any advice?
I’m glad to hear it was ok. maybe try putting a warm cloth against your eyes? it helps me sometimes
Oh no! *HUGS* hope your day gets better!! โค
I’m so sorry, Olivepaw…
I could really use some hugs rn. My Spanish teacher said something very terrible (a word) to us.
*Hugs* i am so sorry that happened riv maybe you could tell the pricable or a trusted adult?
If it was racist or inappropriate, definitely tell the principal, or one of your parents or guardians. Even if it just made all of you uncomfortable, definitely tell a trusted adult, teachers shouldn’t make students uncomfortable like that.
In the mean time, here’s some hugs Riv: HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ๐
*hugss* Tell you parents about what happened, I hope it doesn’t happen again! <3
Oh no! *HUGSSSS* Trust me it’s just a one time thing ๐ (I hope..)
We had the mile run at our school today and I had been training for it for a month and a half. At one practice I did on Monday, I got two seconds faster than my time at the last mile, but today I got three seconds later!!! I know it’s not a big deal, but I’ve been pushing myself for the last MONTH AND A HALF. My school’s also doing and art competition and I submitted and got chosen to be one of the 10-15 that would be voted for. But I feel so bad because some people called my artwork bad. I’m so sad . . . It took me 4 hours to make it.
*hugs* don’t let other people tear you down it is not their job to judge your artwork Maple just ignore them
Uhh, that kid was probably just jealous. Your artwork was probably, no DEFINITELY amazing! For the mile, sometimes it just happens. Not sure for you, but summer is starting soon for me, and it’s starting to reach the 90s in F. You’ll do awesome next time, Maple Syrup. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS
*hugss* I’m sure you’ll do better next time on the mile. Don’t let people decide if your art is bad or not, you put so much effort into it and I’m sure it’s amazing! <3
*HUGS* WHERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE! >:( I SHALL ATTACK THEM WITH MY MUSTARD BOTTLE!!/j I bet your art was amazing! And I bet you’re very fast!
I’m so sorry. Don’t let what they say get to you. They are just doing it to make themselves feel better, it isn’t true. Also I am so bad at the mile run! Your probably like five minutes faster than me! Its okay to not beat your previous time, don’t let it stress you out. Anyway *Hugs*.
don’t feel sad!!! I’m sure your artwork was really great!. They’re just jealous that they will never be as awesome as you!!! *hugssss*
Hewo, I’m feeling kind of lost and alone.
My friends don’t listen to me no matter how much I try to tell them how they’re hurting me. And I feel obligated to hang out with them because I have nothing better to do.
I don’t want to sit in a corner because people will come up to me and ask “Are you okay?” and I think it’s slowly become a trigger word for me.
Sorry if that was too much detail, people probably have worse problems than mine and I kind of feel bad asking.
But could I have some hugs? Thank you. <3
*Hugs* I have been lost and alone for half of my life. If your friends are treating you like that just tell them to stop or tell a adult what they are doing *Huuuuuggggsssss*
*gives SO. MANY. HUGS!!*
Iโm so sorry that is happening. Maybe find a new friend group?
*huggos* I used to feel like that. How about finding some new friends? You deserve better! <33
i’m sorry. I’ve been alone basically all my life, so I’m used to living a solitary life, but maybe try telling a trusted adult about what’s happening? either way, I hope it works out. *huggggs*
Yay! Somebody who loves Pusheen! And Iโve also been alone basically all my life, except for 1 year ago, when I met Bubblepaw/storm and Blackpaw/shade. Since then, things have been really great!
Here are some hugs Firepaw!
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
Same ๐ but eh, It doesn’t bother me (kinda..) But it’s kinda mean when they do that *HUGS* I hope they talk with you
Hugs! I’m so sorry I had some friends that teased me too. I eventual pushed myself away from them and made new friends and that helped. You can always tell a trusted adult or stop hanging out with them if they don’t value your opinion.
*HUGS*
*Hugs*
I absoloutly hate it when someone asks me if I’m okay, honestly, i wish they would just ignore the fact that I was crying! You aren’t alone!
Never feel alone or lost. You have the Blog! If they really are your friends, then they should listen to you. In the meantime, watch as I stuff your mouth with cupcakes *virtually sends over cupcakes*๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง
I feel like that all the time <33 *hugssss* you're not alone!
Just had a mini allergic reaction and it freaked me out ๐ญ hugs please? My tongue is still swollen ahhh
I knew I shouldnโt have eaten that Asian food my dadโs friend got us ๐ซ (Nothing against you guys, itโs just Iโm allergic to cashews and pistachios and Asian cuisine tends to have a lot)
Sending hugs Sky <3

*gives lots of cookiessssss*
*hugs and sends a truck full of ice cream and cookies*
*hugs*
*hugs* You’re amazing!
my mom got a job recently so yay!
but she won’t be able to go to my award ceremony or my graduation bc she has to keep this job since they won’t give her any time off. ik the job and money is more important, but it still hurts.
Ive also just had a crappy day overall.
hugs?
HUGSSSSSSSSSS.
That’s amazing that your mom got a new job! I’m sure your mom would love to be there, but DONT THINK TO YOURSELF THAT THE JOB AND MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU. You are way more important Cloudsie, and she is doing it for you. There will always be those days. Just know how awesome you are <3333
*hugssssssss*
*hugss* I’m sorry she won’t be there, but just remind yourself how much she wants to be there but can’t!
*huggs* I know that feeling. have cookie ๐ช๐ช
*hugs* <3333
Iโm sorry about that, that is a really important landmark in your life everyone should be there for. Iโm sure she REALLY wants to be there, so just remember that when youโre at the ceremony and maybe get someone you know to record it so you can watch it together later?
*Hugs!* I’m so sorry your mom can’t make it to your award ceremony and graduation. But I think she is getting her new job for you and don’t ever feel like jobs and money are more important than you bc they are not! *More hugs*
*hugsssss*
I know how important the graduation ceremony was for you, Cloudsie. Iโm sure that your mom would have loved to have been there. Iโve had incidents where my mom couldnโt make certain events Iโve been in and it was so disheartening. Iโm really sorry. ๐
Just remember that sheโs doing it for you and wants you to have the best and brightest future possible. Sending many hugs <33333
This is really pathetic, and yeah. I didn’t even know what area to put this in (Like, I didn’t know if it was the Tavern, or whatev), but I’ll cut to the chase
I think Im falling in love with my best friend….
She just, she’s SO pretty, and she’s always there for other people. She can always cheer me up when I’m sad, and, yeah. Her voice. HER VOICE WHEN SHE’S SINGING OMG :0
She’s so good at the Clarinet, and just, so fun to hang out with and talk to!
I want to tell her. I have wanted to tell her for like a month, but I’m worried she doesn’t feel the same way about me, and that I could make our friendship really awkward, and practically end it!
What should I do??!?!?!?!??!
Aww, sending hugs Oddeyes <3 I had similar feelings for my best friend before, and it is really hard. I don't have the best relationship advice, unfortunately, but please know you aren't alone <3
Yeah, you arenโt alone. I fell in love with one of my friends from 5th grade(Skypaw). We started flirting for a while, and then in 6th grade, we were just friends again. And I am ok with that. But yeah. You arenโt alone Oddeyes,
*HUGS*
*hugs*
*hugss* I don’t have any advice on this, maybe wait a bit and see how things turn out? <33
*huggs* you aren’t alone Oddpaw. I’ve fallen in love with a good friend, and I know what you mean when you say you don’t want it to ruin your friendship. unfortunately i’m not good at giving advice, but I can give you some ice cream! ๐จ๐จ๐จ
eh————
don’t freak her out by flirting with her if she doesn’t feel the same XD other than that I have zero advice.
I’m having a rough day ): My mom has been yelling at me all morning to get ready jst got ready and my bus is actually quiet! Jst listening to my songs next to my friends talking bout drama. maybe she’ll be at the store when I get home. I love but someimes she is really mean..
*Hugs!*
*hugs*
*hugs* <333
here’s some hugs! same thing happened here! but no advice unforuantly cuz well they didn’t anything to do with me after that, but i hope they like u have a happy ending!!!
Remember to click the reply button underneath the comment!
Iโm so stressed I think my brain is gonna explode.
First of all is FINALS. OH. MY. STARCLAN. I have 2 tests I have to do in APUSH, 1 final project in APUSH, a presentation I have to do in choir, plus 2 tests in physics, and a ton of essay things for AP Lang. Iโm so stressed about it because everything is piled on top of me all at once and I barely have any time to study.
Second is choir and show choir results. Theyโre being posted TONIGHT and I am so so so sooooo stressed about them. I keep stressing about the fact that I might not make it, and I really am gonna be insanely bummed out if I donโt. I know that I can do more than what my current choir is giving me and I want to learn more, but I canโt grow and improve my vocal technique if I donโt move up. I CANโT BE A FOREVER LOWER DECKER OKAY? (99% of people will not get that reference but idc itโs fine :โP )
Third, I have feelings for one of the seniors I know (but heโs graduating soon) and Iโm really debating whether or not I should let him know. On one hand it will be nice to get it off my chest and maybe see if he feels the same way, but also it would be incredibly awkward, intergrade relationships almost never work out, and it would potentially ruin a friendship Iโve been working hard to make. Also whenever I talk to him I turn into a giant puddle of awkward goo. Itโs just a hurricane of conflicting emotions and Iโm so lost here. (Anyone on the BlogClan discord has a good idea of who Iโm talking about) ๐ซ
โผ๏ธ*please only read the last part if you are a girl*โผ๏ธ
Fourth, I started my period today and I have a dance recital on Sunday. One of my costumes is a bright white color, and I donโt want to bleed through the costume because thatโs a recipe for disaster. However Iโm not comfortable wearing tampons and we canโt wear pads with our costumes, I just feel so screwed here. ๐
Hugs/advice? Iโm so sorry this was soooo long. ๐
hey so here’s and idea for your last question. I found these cool underwear that have a pad inserted already I’m sry but i forgot the name anyway u can search it and lots of hugs sent your way I’m so sry and i feel kinda that same cuz i go to school and my mom gives me extra memory work every year and i hate it. anyway i failed this week and i have to keep trying till i get the memory stuff right including my finals. Anyway i really hope u do great and that u find the period thing i was talking about!
*Hugs* I’m sorry u have so many tests, I finished most of mine last week and i was so stressed. But just know, whatever you get on them, you are more important than what anyone thinks about you or what score you get on your test. (If it helps, I’m failing two of my classes right now even though I’m trying really hard) Also I’m not sure what to do about the senior who i graduating, I am really bad at romantic advice! ๐ *More Hugs*
*hugsss* I’m so sorry, that must be so stressful. First of all, try to finish those tests, but give yourself a break! Not so much that you don’t have any time left, but enough to let your mind reset, I find that always helps! Also, try your best not to think about the results of the show choir! That’ll probably make you less stressed. I’m sorry that I don’t have any advice for the other two, buts HUGGSSS <33
*hugs* <333
Coming from the future, you got in to the choirs! I have some advice about the the third one – I'd do it. That seems a bit blunt put in writing, but I had an issue sorta like that, except with someone a grade lower than me. The school year was (and is) ending, and I wasn't really sure if I "liked" him or not, but when I told him, it was one of the best feelings. Getting secrets off your chest is just wonderful, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this will go well, given what I've heard. Of course I can't know for sure since I don't know and have never met your crush, but I can hope and infer. Anyway, I hope everything goes great for you, Breezo, and my best wishes!! <333
To Breezy:
First: I know you will do AMAZING on those finals!
Second: I am sure you will get an awesome part in choir, and even if you donโt, itโs okay! Just do your best!
Third: I think you should tell him that you like him. I mean, even if he says no, I think you should do it anyway. You never know until you try!
Fourth: I havenโt gotten my period yet so I donโt have any advice sorryโฆ
*hugs*For your recital, you could try period underwear
