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 feel like leaving Blogclan for a while.
I feel like a bad person.
Hoot, you’re not a bad person <3 I understand feeling that way - we're all super hard on ourselves for our flaws, but that's just what they are: flaws. They don't make you a bad person in the slightest. They make you human. I completely understand needing to take a break from the blog, but we'll miss you so much, Hoot <3 *huggles*
If you feel the need to leave BlogClan, that’s fine. Just know that I’ll miss you a whole lot <3
And you are not a bad person in the slightest. I love talking with you because you're quirky and into things I don't know of and you're not afraid to show it and I love it ๐ <3
Hoot, I promise you, you’re an amazing person <3 You can take a break if you'd like – in the end, it's your decision, and we can't stop you. But I want you to understand how much you mean to me. You were one of, if not my, very first friend here. You were kind, responsible, and welcoming, but not to the point of overly friendly. I felt I could connect with you, and I knew I could trust you for help. And I know I still can. In the almost 2 years I've been here, I feel that you're somebody I can always count on, and somebody I will always look up to. We will all miss you if you decide to leave for a bit, because we love you <3 Make the decision that's best for you. Remember that you might only see your flaws, and not what makes you amazing.
You are not a bad person dear Hoot! <3 Not at all! *HUG* I have felt that way before, but we aren't perfect. Being imperfect like every other human being does not make you a bad person at all. But if you need a break, you should take one <3333 Breaks help refresh things and start over, so feel free <3333 ๐ *HUGS* Hoot <333333333333333333
After once again having a bad time at rowing for not being able to keep up and being yelled at both there and at home, I just need some hugs. Please.
*Hugs*
I’m sorry, Puddleshard. I understand why you might feel so down ๐ *huggles*
I am so sorry Puddle <33333333333 *HUGS* I know how this feels <333 ๐
๐๐๐๐*HUGGLES* ๐๐๐
I feel like no one actually likes me and everyone lies just to make me feel better.
CLOUDY YOU ARE THE MOST LOVABLE PERSON OUT THERE ๐ We love talking to you! I know thereโs no way to tell if everyoneโs lying or not, but think about this: What in the world could you have possibly done to make anyone not like you? I know that sometimes you make a mistake and someone takes it the wrong way, but no oneโs perfect. But to everyone else, including us here, you have done nothing wrong! You are kind, funny, creative, and awesome, and I can say on everyoneโs behalf that we do not hate you. Stop listening to the voice in your head, we all have it, but sometimes it can keep us from enjoying life ๐
โค
I think you’re lying to make yourself to feel worse <3 I truly love connecting with you over common interests, and I wish you'd be more positive and not stress too much. You will always be loved.
Cloudy WHAT DO YOU MEAN you are so good at art and so kind YOU ARE ONE OF MY BESTIES ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ I do like you so much! Please don’t feel this way ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐*HUGGLES* ๐๐๐ Just know I will ALWAYS be your friend and I will ALWAYS like you and I’m sure everyone at BlogClan (at very least) likes you too! ๐ ๐
So I have this friend. Sheโs very kind and all, but a little too โperfectโ. I didnโt finish my lunch one day, and she lectured me for five minutes about how people were starving in Africa. I mean, I didnโt want to waste food. But I ran out of time. What was I supposed to do? Take my lunch to my next class? She also judges me for talking more โmodern-lyโ. I use slang sometimes, and before I didnโt. But she was like โWhy do you use slang so much? Like last year, you didnโt use it.โ But people change! Not everyoneโs perfect! And she always assumes things. So we created a new club, and she apparently thinks itโs necessary to address people by their last names in emails. She thinks it makes us seem mature. But honestly, I think of people as mature by the way they act, not what they put in emails. And so I told her I found it a little strange. And she told me that I would find this club exhausting if I thought being โformalโ was tiring. That really annoyed me. My life is far more exhausting than hers. Today, she said she was worried she was going to be left out because we were going with a bunch of our friends to a carnival-type thing. And that REALLY annoyed me. I am left out half of the time and she doesnโt notice. Gosh, the world doesnโt revolve around her!
Sorry for ranting. I just needed to tell someone. My parents never understand and always think my problems are a waste of time because I could be doing math.
I’m so sorry, Star. I’ve always been able to talk to my parents about things, and it sucks not having somebody you can count on like that. I think you need to talk her or message her, and tell her everything. She might not realize what she’s doing bothers you, and just saying “I don’t like this” is going to sound petty to her, so I’d go an explain everything in a calm, mature manner. You’re right that she’s being unnecessary, and I think you need to slowly and calmly explain to her – and don’t let her interrupt you, and don’t fall for her taunts if she tries to make you angry. Being “mature” is the best way to get through to her, it seems. I really hope you’re able to work this all out. <3
Oh my I’m so sorry ๐๐ That sounds SO annoying ๐ But just know she isn’t perfect. I wouldn’t be friends with someone selfish like that… but I know that’s harder done than said ๐ She’s being controlling by trying to get you to finish your food and all the things she’s doing, she’s not in authority of you–therefore she doesn’t have that right to lecture you. I’m sorry she’s like this ๐ I’m sending huggles your way and I wish you luck ๐
๐๐*HUGS* ๐๐
aww…… I’m sorry you feel that way *hugshugshugs* ๐
I hate my new school. I had to move to another city and my new school is trash. I hate it. I just want to go back to my old one.
Iโm so sorry Monkeyfur๐งก I hate change too.
Especially moving, to a different house, a different town, or a different school. Iโm homeschooled, but I can tell you that you can get through it!๐ช๐ป
I know school SUCKS through and through, but if you see the good in it, you can get through it!
The good is- youโre learning! I know it doesnโt feel like it, but your Brian is learning something new every day. It might not be great sociably or the teachers arenโt that great, but when times get tough, focus on your education and other things. Itโll help you through it. Focus on the good things, maintain a positive attitude, treat others the way you want to be treated, and youโll be fine๐
People might see you be nice and positive and want to be your friend! If thatโs the problem. If people are being mean, just kill them with kindness. This probably doesnโt help, but I hope you feel better Monkeyfur๐งก
I’m so sorry Monkey :(((( ๐๐๐ *HUGS* This sounds awful ๐ Moving is very difficult…. I wish you luck for making friends and making it through the year ๐๐๐ Maybe you could talk to your parent(s)? ๐ *HUGGLES*๐
Thanks! Pebblepaw and Blossomfire! You guys are so nice.
Your so welcome ๐ Any time <3333
Sigh. I wish people had better things to do than to continuously send me hate messages and make hate comments behind my back on Fandom. Just today I got another message from someone that they hope I leave and never come back, as well as that they’ll be glad I’m gone so I never “harass and attack” others again.
I’m trying not to let it get to me but…it’s been non-stop since last week, which explains why I had such a horrible week. Just a few days ago another person or the same person just sent and admin a request to get me banned for saying the word “crap” and “lashing out at people” even though that wasn’t a swear word and I’ve never lashed out at anyone on there without good reason (I don’t even lash out at homophobes who are actively attacking me- I usually just keep the conversation going in a civil matter and report them to the admin who gives the longest blocks)
I’m so sorry, Hazy ๐ Those people are jerks. Telling someone something like that is so destructive and doesn’t help anything. *huggles*
(I’ve tried to reply to this message several times but then you kept editing so I had to keep revising my replies rip :p )
I’m so sorry, Hazy ๐ Those people are jerks. Telling someone something like that is destructive and won’t help anything. It looks like they’re harassing you, not the other way around. And it’s really a good idea to stay civil, even if someone is really frustrating you. It’s an annoying part of life, but it keeps us out of trouble the easiest. I hope those people stop sending you those messages, Hazy – it’s so rude and you don’t deserve that. *huggles*
That is awful :(((((((( You aren’t the bad guy here, Hazy <333333 I'm so sorry people are doing that ๐ But you know what? It probably means they are feeling bad about themselves. They want to take it out on others and hurt them as much as they are <333 I'm really sorry and I hope they get bored and stop. ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐*HUGS* ๐๐๐
Unfortunately they won’t stop despite me putting an obvious notice on my message wall that I don’t want them there and if they continued I would report every single post containing harassment to multiple admins (I already am). They aren’t going to stop.
Oh my goodness…
I think it’s best to step away. I’m sorry, but it seems like an incredibly hostile environment. You don’t seem safe there.
That makes NO SENSE! You are one of my only friends on BlogClan! *HUGS*
My family is being really stressful right now. All they do is bicker and complain and it stresses me out :/
aww…. I’m sorry….try not to worry about it to much. Have you tried talking to them? That might help a little bit. Anyways: *HUGSHUGSHUGS*
I can understand, Moon๐ค๐*huggles* Things will be better (:
Ugh. Family members can be really annoying ๐ *Hugs*
Umm, something kinda happened yesterday that I should not talk about, but I just can not talk about it, so, I’m going to tell you guys…
My sister Honeystripe was skinny dipping yesterday and something, well, happened.
She tried to do a backflip off a cliff into a quarry (her friends made her do it) (which makes me mad) and she landed her back on a rock.
I heard her scream and I was like (uh oh).
Apparently, she’s had some problems with her back before (because she tore a muscle in her back once in gymnastics)
So that was my day yesterday, but I have some good news at least. My Pixel 3 was fixed!
Oh no! Thatโs terrible! Iโm so sorry Yuli, send huggles to your sister and you๐๐Hope she feels better*huggles*
Thank you and I have sent huggles and kisses to her.
They what?????????? That’s so stupid of them!! I’m so sorry, Yuli :(((( Yikes <33333 *HUGGLES* I hope she heals soon <333 No one should ever take a dare like THAT <33333 They sound like awful friends.
*HUGS* a million ๐
Someone took my laptop, diary, water bottle, lock and lunchbox. One day at lunch I found my lunchbox in another girl’s locker and I had that girl’s phone. Some girls found my water bottle and placed it outside the library. Then I asked the teachers to look at the cameras for me to see who has been stealing stuff from my locker but they can’t find the person. And the camera isn’t even facing my locker!
I hate my new school. I miss my old one.
I just need a hug
*hug*
*Hugs*
*hugs*
Iโm here if you ever want to vent ๐
aw I hope you feel better soon Fawny dear. โค๏ธ Remember that we’re here for you if you ever need to talk. *hugs* โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
*HUGGLES* ๐
A few months ago there was this girl who had to join my form because she was being bullied in her form and she had no friends in my form and her only friends were in another form and they are really weird. So I decided to be nice to her and my form tutor obviously noticed because I got made her buddy.
I was pleased then.
But since I went back to school she just follows me around everywhere and itโs really annoying, she makes all the teachers change their seating plan so she can sit next to me and sheโs constantly asking me questions.
Every time I try to tell her to go away I just feel so guilty, I donโt know what to do.
She doesnโt talk to anyone else either, just me and I just hate it but I donโt want to be rude.
I can relate to this. My best form of advice would be to just politely express to her how you feel. It will be hard to do, but it may benefit you. Another thing you could do is introduce her to other people. She may become friends with them.
Ok, thank you!
I think I know someone who could be her friend whoโs in my form, or I could ask RedBlaze and her friends to hang out with her?
I’m sorry Eagle. โค๏ธ She’s probably clinging to you because she was being bullied and she knows you’ll be kind to her. I would recommend introducing her to other people that you know will be nice to her – try to hang out with them more so that way when she’s around you she’s also around them. Hopefully she’ll realize that there are more people she can be friends with and she’ll stop frustrating you. If this doesn’t work, politely and respectfully tell her how you feel. I hope everything works out! *hugs* โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Thank you!!!
Itโs really awkward when sheโs around because when Iโm with my friends she completely blanks them out but I think she would be quite good with RedBlaze and her friends especially one of them (letโs call them Gingerpaw) I hope she and Gingerpaw might be friends.
Yes, I think Iโll leave that as a last resort though!
Yesterday while we where apple picking, my sis Orchidkit went to swing on a playground which had some little kids to 8 year-olds on it. I was watching them, and unexpectedly my mom said quietly, “Do you remember being that little?”
It sort of made me want to cry…
I want to be little again for various reasons. I don’t want to grow up so fast. Next year I will be a TEENAGER. I’m just really low..
Oh Pebble I can relate. I just turned a teenager and itโs hard sometimes growing up, and sometimes I feel nostalgia when I see little kids too. :/ Honestly I donโt have any advise that I think would really help so huggles and good luck. โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
Thanks Moons๐
I CAN 1000000000% RELATE!!!!!
Pebble, I know what itโs like to miss being little, but know this. You donโt have to grow up this fast! If you want to still play with toys, play with toys. Go on the playground, go on the playground. You donโt have to let go of your childhood, thatโs what I mean.
I donโt mean you have to be all toddler, but if you still want to do things, do them!
Growing up is so hard, but know that you are still young and your family still loves you and loves seeing you grow up!
That means they have more of a connection with you, and can talk to you about more things. But you are still young and donโt have to grow up all that fast!
This is probably the worst advice, but *huggles* I completely understand๐
Thank you Blossom ๐ No, this is the best advice <3 ๐
Oh heck, that’s relatable…
I’ve got some kind of stomach bug. I have homework but I feel too bad to do it rn ๐
Air Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got over a stomach bug too. You’ll be okay! More Air Hugs!!!
Stomach bugs suck ๐
Just drink water, and take it easy
Ew ๐ Get some fresh air, maybe? ๐ It always helps for me <33
