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
AAAGGHHH…I have been sick all weekend!! I have a sore throat, been coughing up gross stuff i probably shouldnt mention, and because i have a fever of 100 degrees, now i miss school!!! and the last time i missed school cause i was sick, it brought down my grades in 2 freaking classes. AAANNNDDD my ears wont pop. so i have to go to the doctor, and i am terrified of doctors. help…
i just want it to stop… and just last night my mom was in a car accident. :'( this really sucks. i’ll always have meh kitty tho…
I’m so sorry Dawny let Starclan light your path hug your kitty tight and sleep a lot and eat even if you don’t feel like it it really helps try eating crackers thats what I do!! I hope your mom is okay 🙂 Get well soon!!!! 🙂 *huggles* -Fro
*huggles* I’m so sorry! 🙁
*hugs* Being sick is awful! Eating honey and drinking hot or cold drinks can help with your throat. Try not to think about the doctor visit(Though that might be hard, as you are sick and all…). I hope your mom is okay!
Aaaaw, I’m so sorry! *huggles* I’m sure the doctor thing won’t be that bad! And maybe you could do make up work! Wait, is your mom okay?!
I’m so sorry! I’ve been sick too, missed school two days in a row, and have been feeling bad. I hope you get better soon! Remember, the doctor is just trying to help you.
Anyone who goes to my school, did I miss MAP testing on Friday?
*Huggles* I’m sorry!!! Being sick is terrible!
*Huggles* I’m sorry!!! Being sick is terrible!!
Oops posted that twice
*Huggles* Do you have greencough? 🙁
Lol go Kitty power! But really sorry I was just sick… and about the car wreck… may Starclan light her path…?
I have some bad news guys yesterday I was walking my dog and we were running then I triped and fell and my hands were burning it hurt a lot . Then when I woke up this morning my finger was PURPLE and my knee was bleeding and for MLC day we went to pick up trash for the commnitiy it really hurt and I don’t know how to make it feel better because when I put a bandage on my finger it turns a brighter purple and when I bend my knee my bandage pokes me and falls off!!! What should I do I won’t be able to pick up my pencil for school !!! Happy MLC day!!!!!!!! 🙂 -Fro
Don’t freak out! it’ll be okay! Once my hand got hit with a soccer ball really hard and it hurt bad for the rest of the day. Then I figured out that it had gotten fractured, it wasn’t to bad. So your finger probably got fractured sprained or broken. Sorry if I’m making it sound really bad! *HUGGLES*
Oh my goodness. I have never had anything wrong with my bones or anything like that so I have no advice, but I hope StarClan lights your path, and you get help for your finger and knee.
Oh my StarClan I’m so sorry! Let me take a look at it at school.
Oh no Fro! (Heh, that rhymes) anyway… I’m sooooo sorry!!! Try icing your finger, and resting it, and your knee. Clean out the cut you have on your knee to make sure it doesn’t get infected, and wrap it in Ace bandages if you feel like you need to! 🍪🍪🍪🍪
*hugs* Maybe you should see a doctor. It might be broken. Try icing your finger, as that might help. I hope it feels better soon!
Ahh, Fro, I’m sorry. *hugs* Maybe you could try icing it?
Ouch! That sounds painful. Try putting ice on it. (That’s what I do whenever I hurt myself, which is all the time) if it doesn’t start to get better soon talk to your parents about it. I hope you feel better soon! *huggles*

*huggles* I’m so sorry! Oh geez, hug your grandparents for me!
Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! When I was little I used to watch animal planet every day, and there was this show called dogs101 and they talked about dogs stomachs flipping over, and I was always terrified!!! I’m soooo sorry that happened!!! *Huggles a million times*
Aw 🙁 poor doggies!
I knew about the stomach flippy over thing from Marley and Me…..
*huggles forever* I’m so sorry, Maple! Send your grandparents my best wishes and give them lots of huggles <3 <3

Ooooooh, sounds like fun! Good luck! *hugs for the luckiness*
Good luck Ivy! You’ll be okay! *Huggles*
Good luck! *hugs* It sounds it’s going to be fun!
I find it weird that when i was in pre-school, I watched curious george and billy the exterminator. 😀 They were my favorite shows, and i feel weird about it cause billy the extirminator was on A&E and its an adult channel. either that or it was on animal planet but i dont know…hahhahaha this was so random sorry.
😀 It’s as weird as some things I’ve seen. 🙂
Ok, so this isn’t really a problem, and I apologize for commenting here for nothing.
So Mistypaw goes to a different school than mine (help grammar) and my parents are trying to transfer into mine. This isn’t what I’m concerned about, though. In this country it’s compulsory for government schools to have the 5th standard scholarship for bursaries and transferring schools, G.C.E. Ordinary Levels and G.C.E. Advanced Levels, and it’s voluntary for semi-government and private schools. Mistypaw did the scholarship and passed, but her marks are below the cut-off mark for the school I go to.
My parents are trying to get Mistypaw in anyway, through some political influence or something of the sort, and my dad’s been asked to attend an interview today. Honestly, I disapprove of this way of getting children into good schools, and I’m not the only one. There’s also the little matter of my sister’s marks and the cut-off. I’m kind of sure she won’t get in anyway.
My problem is that my mother was the one who originally decided it, even though my dad tried to talk her out of it. I’m not on the best relationships with her atm, but there’s arguing about minor things and there’s using a loophole in the law. I won’t go into details here about why I’m so anxious but I’m a slight fix because of something my mother said about me.
And there’s also the matter of Flower. She disappeared about a week ago and we haven’t seen her since. I don’t believe she made it through because fever or not, she always comes into the garden at night. *sigh* If that’s really true, well, cat number 9 to have died prematurely.
This isn’t nothing. So don’t apologize. I don’t really anything about law so I can’t give any advice, sorry. But *huggles* I’m sorry this is happening.
I don’t know much about the law, other than obvious ones(like don’t kill people, don’t rob, etc, etc). I’m sorry about Flower. She may have been found by someone, so don’t lose hope! *Hugs*
Aww Rainpaw!!!
I’m. Sorry! I don’t know much about the law and stuff, so I can’t help there, but I really am sorry about Flower, hopefully she will come back soon! *Huggles*
I was supposed to go on a really fun trip with my friend but she cancled a couple days before we would go. Now I am sad that I can’t go on a trip with her like we planned and my parents are mad at me for being ungrateful. Now my trip feels like its ruined.
Oh no, I’m so sorry! Your parents are mad at you for being ungrateful? That just stinks, you can feel however you want to feel. Everybody is okay with it on BlogClan. <3
*huggles* Aw, I’m sorry. Maybe next time?
Stary my buddy I’m so sorry to hear that you poor thing here’s a treat *hands her candy 🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬* enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Fro ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️
*hugs* That sounds really frustrating! What was the trip going to be?
Aww! It’s okay. Try to forget that and have fun.
*hugs* I’m sorry! I don’t like it when friends cancel on you, I’m sure she had a good reason though! *huggles*
I’m super nervouse my puppy just ate some 🍫!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*hugs* How big is your puppy, and how much chocolate did he/she eat?
*Hugs* take them to the vet, who will give them some stuff to make them vomit it back up!
OH NO HOW DID SHE GET IT?
What kind of chocolate was it? How much did she ingest, if you know? This is a really helpful tool for when your dog eats chocolate, if you know the type and amount. http://www.petmd.com/dog/chocolate-toxicity?mobi_bypass=true I hope your puppy is okay. 🙂
Just remain calm. How big are they and how much did they eat? My puppy ate an entire bag of chocolate chips once and he was fine. Just remain calm and relax. If they become lethargic then take her to the vet.
My dog ate two bags of chocolate chips one and threw up all over the house. That was not a fun day….
My 6-pound puppy ate two 8-ounce bars of white chocolate once 😛 Luckily, white chocolate isn’t poisonous and she was fine. 🙂
When I was little, My dog ate all of the Easter eggs before we could find them, I don’t remember this but I always have a good laugh about it when someone brings it up.
*hugs* Oh no! Is s/he okay? Are they sick? You should take them to the vet. I hope s/he feels better soon!
Dont worry
What chocolates were they? If its just like confectionery chocolate like bars etc.. Then don’t worry. If its really dark high cocoa solids chocolate then keep an eye on her. My dog once ate a whole bag of mini chocolate and she was fine😊
How much did she eat? How did she get it? huggles!
She is not that big and we THINK she only ate one peice hopefuly!!!-Fro
I hope your puppy gets better!!! May StarClan light her path. And *huggles flying everywhere*
Ugggh. My teacher is usually super nice. But she had the nerve to give us reading homework on doomsday, DOOMSDAY! ( the inauguration ).
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
That doesn’t sound like her! Just do it quickly.
*Hugs* Maybe she gave it to you as a distraction? Whatever the reason, if I were you, I’d just get it done. 🙂
Maybe she gave you the homework to help you keep your mind off doomsday? Anyway *Huggles*!
Pro tip. dont listen to what your teachers say about your high school teachers not caring about you. My biology teacher legit whips out a guitar and sings about biology after tests and quizzes, and all the songs are super cringy parodies.
She is fine today guys she did not throw up and she is back to her normal playful self thank you guys so much !!!!!!!!! * huggles & kisses 🤗 😘*-Fro
I’m glad she’s doing better 😀
Yay! I’m glad she’s safe!!!
Oh I’m so glad! Thank StarClan!
Yaaaay!!
Thank StarClan! I’m super happy she’s better! 🙂
yesterday most people cried about the inauguration
i cried about the death of a tiny white doggo ;-;
We all cried the death of the little pupper ;-;
*Hugs* I would do the same thing, Asp.
Recently (timezones), Gabe the dog had passed away and I know that a lot of people are saddened like me.
He may be gone, but never forgotten, and made a lot of us smile.
Sleep Tight, Gabe <3
Awwww no! *Huggles* I’m sorry abbout Gabe!
*Hugs* I heard about this on chat the other night! Rest In Peace, Gabe.
