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
This isn’t anything serious, so yeah, I apologize for grumbling.
So today morning my guitar nearly fell off and crashed on the floor from where it was (if it had, StarClan knows what would have happened to it) and I bashed my nose on a table when trying to grab it. I got the guitar, but the pain was so intense instant tears came to my eyes, and I swear that’s really really rare, and it wasn’t even as bad as other times when I get hurt. Thankfully, it subsided quickly, and there wasn’t any external damage, but I had a little trouble breathing normally and a mild headache, so I put it out of my mind.
I’ve often complained of drill display practices on chat, and today would have been a good day, if it wasn’t for the fact that it suddenly started to be sunny, and I didn’t bring a cap to school because it looked cloudy, and there isn’t any shade in the urban council ground, so my headache naturally got worse.
And then after that someone said something that nearly made me choke on my tongue, and it ripped against a sharp part of my brace. Yippee. Like that helped.
I have this Arduino/robotics stuff class on Mondays, and I have to use the laptop and a phone – obviously, staring at a bright screen for almost 4 hours doesn’t help at all.
And then Mistypaw came into my room and tried to blackmail me into giving her the laptop, and when I said no she whined for ages.
Basically, not one of my best days. Apologies again for posting about nothing important.
*hugs* I’m sorry, Rainy. Hopefully tomorrow’s a better day! <3
Thanks, Birchy <3
*Huggles* aww I’m sooo sorry your day went like that! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
Thanks, Darky. <3
Oh No I hope your ok!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better *squeezes tightly until you suffocate*
On a side note I do robotics to I experiment with Arduinos at home to !!!
Cool! And thanks c:
*hugs* I hope tomorrow will be better! I crash into everything, all the time, so I know how feel about smashing your nose.
My Dad’s been kinda angry lately, and he’s been taking it out on me and my sister. My sister, who has trouble bonding with our parents, told my father to come downstairs to see something. He replied, “Is it an emergency?!” in a angry way. She said “Yes!” The reason why she said it was was because she wanted to spend some time with him, to tell him that she loved him, which she’s always had trouble saying and has never said before. He came downstairs and she beckoned him into a room. He said, “This better be good!” in a really snappish way. He began to shout at her about it not being a emergency until she burst into tears and ran away. I was sitting there the whole time, not knowing what to do. He sighed, looked at me, and said, “Well, it wasn’t a big deal, was it? I was busy, and she disrupted me.” Then he stormed upstairs. He’s been doing similar things the past few days, and my Mom thinks it’s because his Mom abused him as a child, which she did, and he’s told us many stories about her yelling at him, and for some reason that’s all coming back now. Also, I’m worried about them dying, because I’m thirteen, my Mom’s fifty-five and my Dad’s sixty-three, almost sixty-four, his birthday’s in April. I don’t know what to do.
*hugs* I’m really sorry, Snowbreeze. I hope everything gets better soon <3
Thank you Birchfoot. <3
My dad sometimes shouts at me too but he feels guilty later. I’m sure you’re dad does do and i’m sure he loves you but finds it hard to express it. 🙂 ):
*huggles*
Also are you in middle school if you’re 13? ( or Year 7 to 9). if so you’re probably an apprentice on BlogClan check the ‘our allegiances’ page for more details 🙂
*hugs* I hope things will get better. Your parents probably won’t die anytime soon.

Hey, guys. I don’t need hugs, but my neighbours could really use some.
There was a fire last night/this morning (Around 1:30 AM). I woke up because the dogs were barking like mad. Our house wasn’t affected, but my parents could see the flames and smoke. The fire department got it put out, and we don’t think there were any injuries, but my mother and I just went out to see the damage, and it’s all gone.
The house is still standing, but barely. It’s all mostly charred, burnt wood and piles of debris. I don’t know them, but they’ve lived here for as long as I remember, and I feel so sorry for them. Their house is gone, and it was a pretty large fire. I don’t think anyone was home at the time, but if they were, I hope they got out safely. I’m just feeling pretty anxious and distracted today, and I just can’t seem to get it out of my mind.
*hugs* I hope they’re all okay <3
Oh no! *hugs* I hope your neighbors are okay!
Oh my!! *huggles* I hope everyone is okay!
Oh geez. *huggles* <3 I hope they're not hurt.
Oh no, that’s terrible! I read a story years ago where someone’s house burned down and all their family and friends hosted a drive for them to get them new stuff, maybe you could do the same for your neighbors 🙂 *huggles*
Oh no!!!!! I hope they are going to be okay! All my best wishes go to your neighbors. -huggles-
Oh no! I’m happy their okay! That’s awful, I really hope they get their house repaired quickly. Please give your neighbors some hugs for me.
Oh no, that’s terrible! I hope your neighbors are okay!!! *huggles* <3 <3 <3
OMG *hugs*
Huggles I hope they’re okay!
The thick skin of most politicians astounds me. I was nearly crying in history today, because we were discussing the Muslim Ban, and nearly everyone was agreeing with it. They thought that immigrants should be restricted from the country, “Americans First”.
My voice was shaking while I tried to explain that sending these refugees out of the country would be like how the US sent Jews away during WWII: we are condemning them to die.
I got a few people to side with me, and my teacher told me I was a good person for standing up for the other side, which I guess was a good thing. But I hate getting emotional in front of other people and even if I didn’t cry, it was tough to speak because I am Muslim. It’s like being Jewish and watching Nazi Germany form. Idk we have to discuss it again tomorrow. I just need some hugs right now and advice on how to remain composed.
Awww, Cyp, I am so sorry. -huggles-
It would be very painful to have to listen to that. I wish I had better advice for you. :c
-huggles-
*huggles Cyp* I know, it’s incredibly terrible, and I’m sorry that practically everyone was siding with the ban, but I’m glad you stood up.
Oh, Cyp, I’m so sorry you had to listen to stuff like that. *huggles* I hope it gets better. <3 <3 <3
I’m so sorry, Cypress 🙁 *hugs*
On remaining composed – I’m never composed, oops. But I can help you with being composed and stuff.
Basically, I try not to focus on a matter as much while speaking about it. The more I focus on how awful it is, the more I start to break down and just cry. Focus on the facts of the matter, don’t focus on how awful it would be if something like that were to happen. Control your breathing, close your eyes and count to ten.
We are all here for you, Cypress. I’m praying that a law doesn’t pass for this: but surely people realize how much chaos and division this law could cause between our country and other people? I don’t know.
<3 <3 You got this, we all love you
*hugs* I’m sorry, Cyp. Take deep breaths. (That’s all I have, sorry.)
awwww cyp, I’m sorry. I think everyone is starting to realise. We had an assembly today about the long history of immigrants in america and that if immigrants were welcomed before, why not now? It was right of you to do what you did. *hugs and sends cookies*
That’s horrible, Cyp!
*lots of huggles*
My suggestion is to focus solely on your facial expression. Keeping a straight face is key to composure. And when you’re talking, try to think about all of the people who would be proud to hear you stand up for them and yourself. <3
*hugs* I’m so sorry you went through that. I hope tomorrow is better, and I’m always here for you <3
I;m so sorry! I am also really deppresed about that and almost cried when it happened. A lot of my friends are Muslim and I can’t stand the thought of them going on vacation to see their family and not being able to come back. But this is America and I beleive we can pull through. Sorry for sounding cheesy. *HUGGLES*
Want to know what I think about our current president he is the evalant of fox-dung no one likes what he came from and no one likes what he is.
Oh no, I’m so sorry! Good job saying something! We here at BlogClan love you! <3 *Hugs*

I love the second one!
Heyllo guys.
I’ve been having trouble sleeping the past week. It’s frustrating, especially when I end up being tired during my dance classes. I’ve typically been waking up in between 4-5:30 in the morning, and sometimes I don’t fall asleep untill 11:00 at night, sometimes even later. I’ve been taking something to help me sleep, but it seems to not be working as well now.
Hi Fallenpaw!!!
I have been having some sleep issues as well, but I seem to be finding the causes and banishing them. Here are some things I have learned that might help you;
Have you been on electronics before bed? That can cause you to lose sleep. Make a new rule, no electronics an hour before bed. If that’s to extreme, you can do 40 minutes or half an hour.
Try listening to some relaxing music before bed! I recommend Enya, she is amazing and every time I hear her songs I want to sleep. 😀
Also, if you don’t already, try reading before bed!! That also helps a lot. 🙂
When you go to bed, do you think a lot about things that make you stress, or important things? Don’t do that. 🙂 It can keep you awake. Try thinking about relaxing things! It will help a lot.
And for the last tip, when you can’t fall asleep, try breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth, slowly. Try to take a deep breath in for as long as you can, and let it all out. Repeat that, and you will be fast asleep soon! <3
Feel better soon! <3
Thanks for the advice, Willa(I can call you that, right?). I do read before bed(if I don’t, I can’t sleep at all). I’ll be sure to try all of this. 🙂
Of course you can call me that! -huggles-
*huggles* I’m sorry, I don’t really have any advice, but I hope you get to sleep tonight
Thanks Darky! 🙂
try meletonin supplements, they are what your body naturally produces but some people dont produce enough. it works for me
how offensive is it when somebody write a book on “how to be asian” INCLUDING EVERY SINGLE INSULTRING RTHIng And STEREOTYPE the you commenting on it and saying that’s rather offensive and getting reported and flamed and shunned and being called stupid and getting told what can’t you let people have fun?
and the worst part is I’m asian.
wow wattpad. Just wow.
Wow…. I’m sorry you had to see that, streamy. That’s stupid. Nobody is the same, and it’s wrong to stereotype. I guarantee you if I pulled two asians out of a crowd, they would be completely different. People can be incredibly rude to others….. wow.. Don’t listen to them. You are amazing just the way you are. We all love you. <3
Try to stay off of Wattpad for a little while, maybe?
Ughhhhh
Are you sure it wasn’t satire? Because I’ve seen satire on the topic and it’s quite funny (I’m Asian too, by the way)
BUT IF THAT WAS SERIOUS RJFJQKDNJEDNEJ
Just try and ignore it. Stupid people like that will always be around. It doesn’t mean anything. We both know Asian people are real people too, and stereotypes don’t make us.
*huggles*
That sounds REALLY offensive. No one should be able to tell you how to be you. *hugs* I hope that stops, Streamy.
I just found out that my old dog died. I didn’t see my step-grandpa after my grandma died and apparently my dog died. He was hit by a car, my worst fear for my pets. Everything is going wrong. I just want everyone back. I don’t want them to be dead. I want to be little again. I want my step-grandpa to make me pancakes and I want my grandma to hold me and I want to sit by the fireplace and lay my head on my old dog’s back and lay there.
I’m so sorry goldie. I don’t even know what to say. I will pray for you and your family, and trust me, even though things might seem awful, they will get better someday.
I’m sorry for your losses. If you ever need to rant or have a good cry, come PM me or leave a message on my wall. I’m here for you. <3
*huggles goldenpaw* loosing those you love is hard, were here for you, if you ever need Huggles, just to talk, or cookies. We love you, and we’ll be here for you. *huggles*
I’m so sorry, Goldie. *hugs* That’s awful. We can talk if you ever want to.
goshhh
i just had my tooth removed
with slight pain
it’s bleeding like crazy right now, i’m biting down on a gauze
aaand i have to get braces in 3 months
wonderful
Owch! That sounds like it would hurt! :O
I’m sorry that you are hurting. Feel better soon. <3
Ps: I have had friends with braces before. They aren't all that bad if you try to be positive about it!! <3
Ouch. The pain shouldn’t last long, luckily. *hugs* I’ve never needed braces as of now, so I don’t much about them. Other than the fact they straighten your teeth.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed, I couldn’t remember the next 3 days, unfortunately my sister filmed every stupid thing I did like walk around with a towel on my head start yelling nonsense. I told her that payback is due soon.
as for the braces, last week i skipped school to go get my braces fixed and I literally took a nap in chair for an hour, it was better than school
ughh i dont even feel like getting on my tablet or computer right now
warning- nonsensical rant up ahead
this kind of a weird problem but lately ive been worried my mom is suspicious of what i do in my spare time and its true that i dont tell her about everything i look at but its not like im watching inappropriate stuff but sometimes i get nervous about making conversation with her in case she starts asking uncomfortable questions oh yay she just walked in and i instinctively yelled “iM SORRY” lol im dead wheeee hahaha im tired bye
ps listening to the winter neko atsume theme always makes me feel better idk why
That totally makes sense to me. I get you. I trust my mom infinitely, and I don’t watch inappropriate stuff either, but sometimes I feel nervous when people are poking around in my private business. Maybe you could try talking to your mom?? Explain that you aren’t doing anything inappropriate, but you really feel uncomfortable when she/people ask a lot of questions about it, because you feel like something was wrong? Idk, hope everything gets better! <3
hmm… for some reasons my other comments from this time have been modded, but this one hasn’t. Spam monster?
*hugs* I don’t have any advice, sorry Asp. If I may ask, what do you do in your free time?
