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 feel really insensitive for posting this but its made me sad for weeks now… And anyone who lost a friend or family member you have my condolences.
I have this friend, and he’s really funny. Im not sure if i like him or anything, but im afraid he and his friends think i do. Lets call him….Fallowpaw. Alrighty then. Fallowpaw is always really…. hes the one who comes up with the best jokes, has a dirty mind and is absoloutely so hilarious you cannot resist laughing at whatever he says. Well, today in one of our morning classes, i offered to help him with his worksheets three times and he said no to all of my offerings. It made me really sad because I know he struggles with his classes, and I even heard my science teacher talking to him about taking 6th grade science again, next year when hes in 7th grade. Not only is that embarrassing, but thats SUPER STRESSFULL. I want to help him and be his friend, but its really irritating that whenever im nice to him, by like giving him snacks and/or helping him with his stuff, his friends are snickering behind me.
I’ve talked to one of his friends before, and they said that Fallowpaw lives with his grandma and his brother, and he dislikes his grandmother a lot. It makes me so sad to see him struggling like that but its just hard when people have to be stupid and say i like him and ship us and all that lovey dovey stuff.
*kicks chair and immediately regrets it*
Argh. Welp, now you all know how Dawny’s life at school goes. Thank you and have a nice day/night
Yikes, I’m sorry 🙁 If it bothers you that much, talk to Fallowpaw’s friends. Explain that you have no romantic notations with Fallowpaw and their teasing is really getting on your nerves. This’ll be difficult, so take a friend or two with you. Talk to Fallowpaw and explain that you want to help and be there for him. But don’t push it, he might be uncomfortable because you’re going too far. Good luck! *huggles*
*hugs* Maybe you could trying talk to your friends about it? I don’t really have any good advice for this kind of situation, sorry.
You should tell them you don’t like him. Try to talk to Fallowpaw as well, explain he’s just your friend, and you no other ideas. Offer your help in a nice, friendly kind of way. Don’t get upset if he declines and don’t be insistent in helping. *hugs*
Meh. Thanks for the help guys. I cant find the guts to talk to him and his friends though. 🙁
maybe he wants you to see that he can do things by himself?, I dont know, Im a dude and if i like a girl i have problems telling her so i SHOW her how I can take care of myself (then she sees me reading a really long series about cats…….), Middle school love is always going to be awkward, fact of life. If you like him and you are sure he likes you, you could try to ask him if he wants to see a movie with you. he might want to. Im personally a man of science myself and i think of dating as a kind of social experiment
(IF he likes you THEN you go out). that’s probably why im destined to be a rouge forever.
I hope I can help,
Moonshine
P.S. Good luck, you have your clan behind you in whatever you do
Ugh…. I feel terrible today. 🙁 I have diarrhea, my stomach is upset, I’m sore, and my head hurts. (Plus I still have a million bruises from Tuesday. ) So yeah, I’m skipping dance tonight, but to make matters worse we where supposed to go to Books a Million today, because we have a $10 gift card that we have to use by the end of the month. So now we have to hope I feel better tomorrow so we can go. 🙁
Aw, that sucks. I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, and I hope you get better soon! (And can go to Books a Million) *huggles*
🙁 That’s awful. I hate skipping dance, so I understand how you feel about that. You’ll likely feel better in the morning. I hope you feel better. *hugs* If I may ask, do you know what’s wrong?
read cat books
Aww I’m sorry!! *Huggles* Being sick is awful, get better soon!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tearing hair out* I have science fair in just a couple of days and I’m freaking out! Everyone else’s projects look so good and mine looks terrible, I feel like I’m stupid! DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
You’re not stupid! If you really think that it’ll be a bad presentation add something funny! That always piques my attention when I hear a joke or reference to something I know or whatever!
Good luck with the Science Fair!
You’ll do great!
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Calm down! What is yours about, and how could you make it better? You are not stupid! *Huggles*
Moonshine to moonpaw, Just make sure you have the correct information. try to get some battery powered LED string lights and poke holes in your poster board and tape the lights in the holes through the back, just be creative. If it helps, you can tell me what your topic is on and i could help you brainstorm some design ideas
Good luck,
Moonshine
*Hugs* Just keep calm! You’ll do great!
Ahhh moonpaw I’m sure yours is amazing!!! Don’t compare yours to others, because yours is equally amazing! *Huggles*
Picture of the day to lighten spirts!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀-Fro
This afternoon my step-grandfather died in an accident. I’m shocked and sad. He helped take care of me when I was younger. I just want to be little again and I want him to make me Mickey Mouse pancakes and walk my old dog with me.
Oh, Goldie. I’m so, so sorry. I wish there was something I can do to help. May he rest in peace. *gives a bear hug*
Oh my god, I’m so sorry Goldi! I don’t know what else to say.
*hugs* I’m so sorry Goldenpaw. You’re step-grandfather sounds like a really great person. I’m sorry for your loss.
Oh my god goldi!!!! I am so sorry!!! <3 -hugs-
He sounded like a great person. I'm sorry. <3
Oh Goldenpaw, I’m so sorry! I don’t know what to say, but I’m glad you told us *Huggles* we’re here for you!
Goldi, I’m so sorry. *Hugs* I know how painful death can be. I’m so sorry this happened. He sounded like an amazing person and I’m sure he loved you more than words can describe. If you ever want or need to talk, you know I’m always here. *Hugs again*
Awww so sorry maybe to avenge him don’t drive often that is what I would do *hands Goldie flowers 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐*-Fro
I am so so sorry, Goldie. That is terrible news. *huggles* I’m here if you need to talk.
Oh my gosh Goldie! I’m so so sorry! That sucks. Losing a family member is one of the worst things in life and I know how you’re feeling…
Just remember that your step- grandfather will always be with you in spirit and will always love you <3 I know I can't say much to help, but if you need to talk, I'll always listen <3
There was this girl that I really liked and she is my neighbor and she is also on my highschool colorguard and i play tuba so we see each other a lot and often go on long bus rides together, but she lied to me multiple times and every time I talked to her she was always looking past me at another guy who i will just call will, so we were at this band function and we kissed, so I left thinking that we were dating, but she texted me later that night with an apology saying that she never felt a “spark” and “we were never meant together because of this”. It completely ruined my perception of love and now I hate her and seeing her with will……. well a year passed and I still hadn’t dated anyone, I wanted to and I had a crush on a few people but I was so afraid and scared of being turned away that I never asked anyone out, always finding a reason to move on, I talked to the girls best friend at the time and she said that she only wanted to hang out with me so she could mess with me. Im not a very social person, I usually just sit in the corner reading cat books. If anyone has any advice, I would like you to share it, i have turned to making weird things like throwing knife spoons and happy wheels levels and stocking up on all 44 cat books for my personal library to read over and over again.
Thank you for listening
sometimes all you need is an annomous ear,
Moonshine
*hugs* I doubt that the same scenario will happen again. I don’t really have advice on this kind of thing, sorry.
*hugs* I’m not an expert at realationships, being only 12, but I guess, move on if you can? Idk, if she didn’t feel the same way about you, find someone who does, someone who sees how amazingly awesome you are!
Thanks, will do
Moonshine
Er, I don’t watch Star Wars but I was stalking Twitter just now and
‘The Force Awakens…… The Last Jedi’
so yeah I freaked out a bit because even though I’m not a SW fan, I know some basic stuff about it
Yesterday night I had an indoor soccer game, and while I was running I twisted my foot. When I went to bed it hurt really bad, but my mom told me to wait until morning. This morning, when I woke up and my ankle still hurt, so I went to the docter and I found out that I had sprained my ankle! I have to keep a bandage on it for at least 10 days before I can take it off. Well the bright side is that I don’t have to do fitness testing! 😊
you should talk to your medicine cat
moonshine
*hugs* Does it still hurt a lot? I’ve never sprained anything, and the only thing I’ve ever broke was toe.(That’s surprising, considering how clumsy I am 😛 )When will you be healed?
aww, feel better soon! No fitness testing, yay!

uh Fro you forgot to sign in. And it was so so cute!
Thanks for catching my mistake Stary!!!!!!!!
This is going to be a rant so ***WARNING****
Anyway, tonight was my schools in-house solo/ensemble event for choir and band. So my friend, let’s call him Runningcloud, was going to sing. I had just finished watching my other friend perform, so I walked out and was going to ask Runningcloud if he wanted me to watch him or not, when my two other friends, Redflame and Blueflower, told me I couldn’t go in. So I was like, “Well let me just ask Runningcloud because he’s letting you guys go in.” But the Blueflower basically body blocked me so I couldn’t even talk to him to ask. Then our other friend, Songbreeze, came up and asked the same thing and Blueflower did the exact same thing. So when it was time for him to go in, I tried to follow Blueflower but she slammed the door on me. So since I’m really quick to react, I kinda passively-mostly aggressively, sent our mock trial group chat a message saying, “Hey Runningcloud, I hope you do really well, I wanted to come support you but Blueflower wouldn’t let me.” So then I went to watch my other friend perform and Songbreeze told me that Blueflower had started crying because me and Songbreeze had called her out. Then Blueflower asked to be removed from the group chat. So I talked to Runningcloud afterwards and asked him if he didn’t want me in there or something but he said he would have liked if all of us could have been in there. So now I don’t really know what I feel. I feel bad that she’s crying but not about the text because stuff like this had happened before and I’ve dealt with it but this time I wasn’t having it. And it probabt shows you how trash a human I am that I am more worried about how this will affect mock trial than my friendship. I don’t know. I just needed to rant, so sorry for making you all listen to it.
***RANT OVER***
Gees, Blueflower sounds like she has an issue…is she having a hard time with something at the moment? And why didn’t she want you to go in? What was her reason? Have you talked since? Maybe you should just chat to her.
Wow, Russetfeather I don’t really know what to say or thing, but I do know what to do, *Huggles* (hugs are always a good option
*huggles* try talking to Blueflower. For all you know something might’ve just happened, and she didn’t realize she was being rude.
*hugs* I hope things get better. Like Owl said, try talking to her.
Aw rus, maybe Bluieflower was just having a moment? We are always here to listen to any rants anyone may have *hugs*
Ugh. Tonight is one of my sleepless nights. Yay. Hugs appreciated.
*Huggles* warm milk helps, warm milk and honey 🙂
Books. Lots of books. *huggles*
Try reading books, maybe listen to some quiet/calming music. I hope this helps. *hugs*
*huggles* That happens with me all the time, especially now because I have a cold
*hugs* that’s me all the time. Sleep well next day!
So…. This isn’t really a problem, it’s a complaint.
So.. I like Onestar and so many people HATE him.
Hey, I respect other people’s opinions and stuffs.
But people don’t have to RUB IT IN MY FACE.
People PURPOSELY RANT about they HATE HATE HATE him just because they KNOW I love him.
They also make excuses for me to hate him.
But I don’t.
Oh and what really makes me mad that liking a VILLAIN like SCOURGE ISN’T WEIRD, BUT LIKING ONESTAR IS WEIRD AND MESSED UP.
It’s really rude to me.
I know, it’s stupid, but it hurts.
And I love Onestar…
And no one is going to convince me otherwise.
I. Love. Onestar.
I’m sorry if I wasted your time. Please forgive my stupidness.
Hey, we all respect each other’s opinions. Also, you’re not stupid. You can like Onestar even if others, like me, doesn’t. Stay yourself! WindClan is amazing! {my fav clan!!!} Have Onestar hugs! They’re special and come with Onestar-shape cookies! ^gives Onestar hugs to you^
You can have you’re own opinion but people aren’t hating on Onestar because you love him ( I didn’t know you liked Onestar, people aren’t doing it to make you mad).
As far as i know.
I didn’t make that clear… Whenever I say I like Onestar, they rant about it.
They make fun of me and rub it in my face, is what I meant.
Why would someone make fun of you for liking a certain character?
Idk. They just think it’s stupid.
Ugh, people and opinions. Personally, I hate Onestar, but not respecting others’ opinions… not cool with that. It’s not stupid – most of the fandom seems to hate him, but rubbing it in the way you put it, that’s not just rude, it’s offensive. Everyone has differences in their opinions. *huggles*
Mah new name ^^
c;
if politics cant respect opinions, we can here.
but…….I still think there should be a roasting page for Onestar.
Sorry to intrude,
Moonshine
I respect that <3
We do have a roasting page on the wiki, but it’s mostly used to plan and write Onetrumpeter fanfics.
WE DO?!
*hugs* I highly doubt people are trying to insult you. And, you aren’t stupid! I don’t hate Onestar either.
It’s okay! We all have our own opinions! *coughcoughiloveonstartocoughcough*
😉
hey, no one purposefully says they hate onestar just because you like him. *hugs* you’re not wasting anyone’s time, okay? i don’t like him all that much but I reckon he has his reasons.
