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 JUST ACCIDENTALLY THREW DOG POO IN MY NEIGHBOURS BACKYARD (pls dont ask how im dying of embarrassment) and literally 5 secs later she came out because she was hosting a party and IM SO SCARED THAT SHE SAWWWW AHHHH I just wanna sink in a hole and disappear forever 🙁
Also now my dad is VERY mad at me and oh god today is not a good day
Yikes. Maybe apologize? *huggles*
-hugs- You should apologize to your neighbor and tell her it was just an accident. 🙂
Were you picking it up? Woah. Sadly, that’s something that would happen to me too.
Everyone has those days, maybe just not the exact some circumstance. I hope your neighbor forgives you. <333
Just Apologize, It’s okay. *hugs**hugs**hugs*
Let this video put a smile on your face:

How adorable <3333
Im really happy right now……Just wanted to say I love you guys, in fact i love any warriors fan. 🙂 <3
We love you too! <3
Huggles! We love you too!!
My sister has a fever. My mom said that this fever can last for a week. And Christams is next week. Well, she will get better before Christmas, but she could infect me. I don’t wanna be sick when other people celebrate Christmas and open presents…
I try to avoid her but we sleep in the same room and we sit on the same sofa and so on….
And the worst part is that earlier today (before we knew she was sick) she tasted chocolate, said she don’t like it and I should eat it.
AND I ATE IT.
Now I’m super scared 😦
*Huggles*
Its okay you probably won’t get sick. It usually clears up on Christmas Day 😉 I know this because I usually NEVER get sick. One time, ( this is real) I had a 105 degree fever. But when it was EXACTLY midnight to Christmas Day, I suddenly felt better and my temp went down way lower to 100 degrees. See? If you get it, there is still hope 😀
*huggles* don’t worry whenever I get get sick it only lasts for a day. And guess what my brother was sick on Christmas once, but the funny thing is he didn’t get sick till after we opened all the presents. 😛
*Hugs* I hope everything turns out alright! <3
Thanks all <3
Don’t worry Swan! Fevers aren’t very contagious, I think you’ll be fine!.😄
I have whitecough… 🙁 Well, it is becoming leaf-bare.
Hope you get better. -hands Minfeather catmint- huggles and love to you.
Oh no! *Huggles* here’s some Cat Mint! Get well soon!!
Get better soon! Here have some catMINT. *hands MINTfeather some catMINT*
Aww! 🙁 I hope you get better soon! (In time for the holidays too <3 )
Huggies!
Sorry I’ve been so inactive on this page! 🙁 Sterling and I give hugs to everyone <3 😀
Yesterday I told you about my sister and her fever, and I was scared that she could infect me just before Christmas (you find it if you scroll up). And guess what happened?
Today I felt really awful, I mean, REALLY awful. I had a horrible headache and a 38 °C fever. Now, thanks to medicine, my fever is gone (for now) but I still don’t feel okay. And my throat hurts, it’s nothing like sore throat, it feels like there’s a tennis vall in my throat. I feel like I can’t breath and it just hurts. My granny said that this fever-throat-thing could last longer than a normal fever…😵
I can blame that stupid piece of chocolate! Why I ate it?!
Well, now I have to hope that the Christams spirit saves me just like it saved Snowheart.
At the time I’m writing this I feel my fever is coming back, and because of that this might be confusing and not well written, sorry!
A tennis ball, not a tennis vall.
*Huggles* I’m sorry! Drink fluids and rest!
Try cough drops they always help me when I have a soar throat.
* huggles * hope you feel better soon.
OK so then nutcracker ended for me yesterday, and of course my friend Breezefeather was crying because she’s going to college next year, but then the crying got infectious and I didn’t cry but a bunch of people need hugs before Christmas and they’re really sad, (most of my friends)
* hugs friends *
My brain feels like it’s dead. I’ve been trying to no avail to get my math done (for those of you who don’t know I’m in the advanced math class and I’m trying to get two years ahead, which takes about an hour at home every day, it gets stressful, but it’s worth it.) But now that it’s winter break my brain just sort of deflated and now the math is just seeming so hard. I spent an hour today just trying to get one topic complete, while before in an hour I could complete four or five. Does anyone here know any ways to stimulate the brain and actually make it think properly? I really need to do this math. I’ve been trying everyday and moving like a slug.
Try taking breaks. Maybe listen to some calming music.
Hmm, maybe go to sleep earlier? I don’t know if your brain thinks you’re not getting enough sleep, though. And you could just read the topics (if you have a textbook(s) that is) before trying to do anything – sometimes just absorbing the info without doing exercises helps – and then actually doing… well, I’m not sure.
Maths are a hard subject even at the best of times, for anyone. Don’t overdo it, your brain’s had a rest and it’s a good idea to take it easy at first – though NOT by neglecting homework, of course! You could take short breaks every now and then, and review what you’ve done so far. Try reading up about the topics you’re covering online, and if it helps, defining them in your own words. Stay calm – being in a class above your age is great, but naturally a bit hard.
I have no idea how American schools work, so this might be confusing. 🙂
