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
When I woke up today, at around 3:00, 4:00, something like that, my ear hurt so much, I went to the bathroom to see what was wrong. I didn’t fall asleep, it was really red compared to my other, and when I did fall asleep, I cried in my sleep. I woke up an hour later, and it still hurt. Fast forward two or three hours, I was up and my ear didn’t hurt as much. By then I thought it was fine. About ten minutes later I yawn, and my ear goes off again. I don’t know why, It might be infected? Well, now whenever I yawn or do something close to that, My ear hurts for as long as it happens. If anyone know what happens or how to fix it, please tell me. I cant take this much longer.
You probably should talk to a doctor. He probably has medications that can help with the pain and/or the infection. Once you get those, try and get a good night’s sleep… you sound like you’ll be quite tired today
It could be anything from an ear infection, to just accidentally having something lodged in there. Definitely go to the doctor so they can help you with that
Your night sounded like a tough one… I hope it’s better tonight!
Hope you get better soon 🙂
*hugs*
I have a friend who had an ear infection, too many at that. On Monday, I will ask her what happens to cause one, and no, I don’t stick anything in my ears…It just feels wired to me…
Its okay! Ear thingies use to happen to me all the time. When I was 2, i was on an airplane, and my right ear drum exploded. Alright TMI but….yeah….Tell your mom/dad, and have them take you to a doctor. There could be something in your ear, or it might just be infected. Also, have you ever tried cleaning the earwax from your ears, and pushed the little cue tip in too far? that can hurt your ear drums. Hope I helped, and get well soon. *hugs*
*hugs* I hope your ear feels better soon. I’d see a doctor if I were you.
I’d see an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor if I were you. Other than that, I c
can’t think of anything. *huggles*
Go to your doctor, only she/he can offer medical advice on how to fix it. :c If it is infected then you’ll get antibiotics.
Go to a doctor. It might not be an ear infection, perhaps you have an earwax build up. Those hurt a lot. Either way, you should go to a doctor. *huggles* I hope you feel well soon! <3
You should go to a doctor, and tell your parents. Maybe washing it off will help? I hope you feel better. *huggles*
I had a bad infection cause
1 I had a medium earache
Then I got on a plane
Than swam two nights in a row
Then got on a plane again.
Now I am along these really big antibiotic pills.
my great unlce just died tonight… :'(
i know exactly nothing about him, not even his name
but i still feel sad
my dad almost cried when he heard
i have only ever seen him cry when our dog died and when we saw him for the first time after a year
*hugs* I’m so sorry, Daisy. I don’t really know what else to say…. If you ever want to talk about it, you know where I am.
*hugggggg* I know what it feels like, and I am soooo so sorry for your loss! Just try to take your mind off it, that partially how I got over it. The other was all the nice people who hugged me. 😿😿😿
I’m sorry to read that. Your dad just needs to mourn
Oh Daisy. I’m so sorry for your loss. <3 <3 <3 *huggles*
I’m very sorry for your loss! Treasure your memories. *huggles*

Hope that cheers SOMEONE up. 🙂
I feel horrible.
This girl I used to like and am friends with texted me to ask me out. This would be the third time, and I told her no since I don’t like her anymore. I tried to tell her nicely, I know it hurts to be rejected and I wanted to soften the blow. She didn’t really feel like talking afterwords, and I understood that. She talked a little bit, but not as much. I felt bad for hurting her, but I thought it’d hurt more if I said yes and was in a relationship when I didn’t like her in that way. It seemed wrong.
I was texting another one of my friends at the same time. I was really concerned about what I did. She has an alcohol problem and I thought she might get drunk again. I voiced my worries to my friend, and she told me the girl was crying really hard. Honestly, I feel like a really bad person at that point. My friend was afraid that the girl would hurt herself, since she’s suicidal, which I didn’t know. At that point I was really scared, and I tried to talk to her. She didn’t answer for a while, but then got on said she was fine. I was kind of relived, but I figured she probably was lying.
Well when I got to school today, one of my friends said she’d cut herself really badly. I didn’t get to know the full story, just that it involved glass and that she cut herself a lot worse than she ever had before. Turns out it was so bad she couldn’t even hide it with make-up. I tried to talk to her a couple minutes ago, but she ran off and refused to talk to me. I’m really worried. She didn’t act like this when I rejected her before, and I’m scared she’s going to do something even worse to herself. I tried so hard not to hurt her, but I think I hurt her even worse than if I had said yes.
Oh, Sil(?)… I’m so sorry. My advice is to either occupy yourself so you don’t worry about yourself, and/or feel guilty and responsible, or talk to an adult, like your dad/mom. If you don’t feel confortable talking to them, speak with one of your MOST TRUSTED friends. A friend that doesn’t gossip, and make things worse. I’m so sorry.
*****HUGGLES FOREVER!*******
You can call me Sil. ^^ Thanks for the advice and the hug.
No prob. I hope you’re not stressed too much. >.<
*hugs* I really hope she doesn’t injure herself more… I don’t really have advice, I’m really, really sorry Silv…
Thanks. ^^ And it’s fine, thanks for the hug.
So, I’m pretty nervous and scared right now. My parents have been fighting a lot lately, but this isn’t the only thing that worries me. They have been fist fist fighting, such as throwing things at each other, and they both keep trying to include me into the fights, I don’t want to be included into their fights, I’m scared. But to add insult to injury I am 99.9 percent sure they are getting divorced before my birthday..
I’m terrified,
OH NO THEY DON’T. This is what I hate about divorce: the parents have no idea what they’re doing to their children when they split. You should talk to them, tell them how you feel and let them know that they are probably fighting over nothing. *hugs times infinity*
*huggles* try to stay out of the fighting. 🙁 you’re doing the right thing by staying out of it. but if something really bad happens, like someone gets hurt for real, i am really sorry but you are gonna have to call the police… good luck and i hope this is resolved. <3 <3 <3 <3 i am always gonna be here for you otter!
*hugs* Are hurting each other? And how are they including you, if I may ask? I hope they don’t get divorced before your birthday…
Kind of hurting each other… but I’d prefer not to share how they’re bringing me into the fights.
When they start fighting try to go into another room. One even farther away from them. Try watching your favorite show, and if they try to bring you into it just say no. Try telling your friends IRL about it, because most of us can’t help you, not being there. Hope this helped! *hug*
Parents. Going to split up again. I’m sure of it. Positive if it. Pretty much fact now. I’m trapped. I can walk the block. Where else? Nowhere. It’s not safe enough… I thought I felt hollow. But my throat still clogs with a knot of sadness and panic and regret when I think my friend is really sad. I still fight for them. Why should I fight for myself? Everyone tells me to get help, maybe go to a therapist. It’s hard enough the open up to my best friends. And there is always something to sour the small flake of hope I sometimes get from talking. They either think it fixed it for a long time, or they’re so worried I can hardly stand talking to them. I feel like the wort person ever. I shouldn’t matter as long as others feel pain, as long as I decide I don’t have to guts to just give up, and as long as I don’t hurt my family… Not to mention… I’m losing my friends.
Great… to top it off… my friend just told me they forgot who i was. thanks a lot… :'(
*hugs* I’m so sorry, Daisy. I don’t know how to help…
I had a very eventful night.
We came home to find out that the stove had been left on, so dinner and the pot had burned and the house was really smoky. We took Melodie in her cat carrier and got takeout to go eat in the driveway, but found out that downstairs in the split level was okay to stay in, so we stayed down there. Despite this, I got a sore throat and spent all of last night miserable feeling like I was going to throw up. I kept my mom up too because I couldn’t fall asleep. I only got about three or four hours of sleep and I’m really tired today. I don’t feel like I have to throw up anymore, but my throat is really sore, even though I took medicine. It hurts to talk and I feel bad. I could just use some hugs (and sleep).
Awww, Wavey, that really sucks *huggles* I’m glad Melodie and everyone in your family is okay <3
Get some rest, take a nap when you can, and drink some hot cocoa or something! I hope you feel better *hugs*
Ooh, hot cocoa. Thanks Flo <3 Yeah, that's the important part, but I still feel terrible 😛
Oh goodness, Wavey, I’m sorry! *huggles* I’m glad you and your family are safe. I hope you feel better soon, and get lot’s of sleep. <3 <3 <3
I’m so sorry Wavey! I’m glad you and your family and cat are okay. Drink some tea with honey in it, it might help your throat. *huggles* <3 <3 <3
I am so sorry, that sounds awful! Do your parents have time to take you to a doctor? Also, perhaps you should skip school if it hurts that bad. You could also go to The Natural Path if you live near it. What they do is heal you while you get to sleep in a chair with a cozy blanket, and they hook you up to a machine (don’t worry, it’s not like tying you up, it’s wrapping something around your ankles and hooking it up). I’s helped me, and you get to listen to some calming music. For more information, check out this link. THIS IS NOT SPONSORED
http://the-naturalpath.com/
I can’t skip school unless I’m dying or it’s a Wednesday, because I only get 12 Symphonic Band absences and tardies are 1/2 an absence and with those I’ve used up about half so I’m saving them until I really need it.
You really need it.
I don’t think I do, I got through the day Tuesday and I’m feeling a lot better despite allergies, but I can live with that. It’s been three days and I’ve got the weekend, so I think I’ll be fine. Thanks anyway, though 🙂
Oh. How about the doctor stuff?
I’m sorry to hear that :c Get better soon!
*huggles* I always find when I have a really sore throat hot drinks, (hot chocolate or tea for example) honey, and cough drops help.
Ooh hot chocolate! Thanks so much <3
*Huggles* aww Wavey, I’m sorry! I hope you sleep better tonight, and I hope your sore throat hurts less, try honey, that can help
That sucks i hope your throat gets better soon
*hugs* Honey, hot/cold drinks, and ice cream can help with your throat. I’m glad everyone is okay, and I hope you feel better soon!
Ice cream hehehehehehe thanks <3
I’m feeling really bad. There are rumors at going around that this boy is going to ask me out and whenever people talk about it he blushes or something. I’m not really friends with him, and its making me anxious that I’m gonna say no. I don’t really like him, but I don’t want to hurt his feelings… GGGAAHHH. 🙁 🙁
To top that off, one of my sorta friends is his sister and she’s been telling me that I should say yes, or I’ll break his heart.
WHY. 🙁 Right now?
WHY. 🙁 Does he even like me?
WHY. 🙁 AAAGGGHHH
I could really use some hugs right now.
*hugs* I’m sorry, this must be a tough situation for you. My friend had to reject 2 or 3 people who liked her, and while it kinda hurt her to do it, she didn’t want to be with them. So like said friend, I recommend you do what you want. If you don’t like this boy, don’t go out with him — if you broke it off later, it’d hurt more, IMO. Be nice, and explain that he’s nice and everything, but you’re not interested. He will be hurt, but it will also be better than you not being happy. Good luck 🙂
*huggles* I’m sorry your in a situation like this. I know it seems like you’re sparing his feelings by saying yes, but you’re not. It’ll hurt him worse if you lead him on then break up with him. When you let him down, do it as nicely as possible. Explain to him you don’t feel the same way, but it’s not because he’s a bad person or something. If you want, you could always try to be friends with the guy. Some people find it too painful to be around the person who rejected them, so don’t take it personal or something if he tries to avoid you.
Remember, his feelings are important, but yours are too. It’ll just be bad for both of you if you date him without liking him. I hope it works out for you. <3
*hugs* I don’t have any advice, sorry Dawny. <3 <3 <3
I am upset, angry with my life. Like I say thousands of times, I am sweet. shy, and sensitive. And I’m okay with that, but it’s not the only part of me. I hope. And I want to be more tough, not nervous, not afraid of almost anything unless it’s reasonable. I am okay with cuss words, and have been for a while. I used to hate them, but I figured every question I had in my head about them and *SNAP~* everything clicked. And now I’m okay with them.
But when I announced this to my family, they were genuinely shocked and yelled, “Who is this person and what have you done to Saskia?!” And ever since then, I have never uttered anything about how I want to be more tough. I’ve kept it all to myself. And now I just want to prove to people that I can be more than they think I am, but whenever I get the chance, I just fall back into my other personality. Sweet, shy, and sensitive, never to not be tough, just weak and meek. I wish they could see me as more, and I wish I could see myself as more.
But I can’t. I don’t have any self-esteem, and I don’t know how to get some. Any tips, tricks and advice would be appreciated.
Oh, Snowbreeze. Let me explain something to you. It may not help, but it might. 🙂
Being Sweet Shy and Sensitive, is what MAKES you tough. Its what gives you the strength to be kind to people and to has positive feelings. If you tried to be anything BUT yourself, I would be pretty disappointed, because I’m friends with Snowbreeze, not some other person trying to be tough and not herself. I understand that It might make you feel tougher to say cuss words or whatever, But if you tried to be anything unnatural to yourself, I would be so SAD. Being Kind is a strength, not a weakness.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. It does make sense, and I . . just . . . thank you.
No problem. You have no idea how happy I am when people understand stuff like this. Lots-a-love for Snowbreeze from Lily. 🙂 <3 <3 <3
Okay so let’s talk about labels.
Ever heard the phrase ‘be yourself’? It seems you’re associating yourself with softer traits: kindness, sensitivity, consideration. And that’s not bad at all!!!!!! But that’s also not my point.
You’re trying to be something other than what you see as yourself (which isn’t bad, but I’ll get to that later). That’s why your parents are freaking out.
But what is ‘yourself’, exactly? What someone tells you? A parent or a teacher or a friend?
NO.
Completely smash the idea of ‘be yourself’. That’s nothing. That’s a cabinet you’re trying to shove character traits in. That’s a boundary and it’s only there to hold you back. Be whoever you want to be and do it for you. Be any mix of things or go to the extremes. Humans are fluid, volatile creatures. We aren’t meant to be ONE thing. We fluctuate. Osmosis and mitosis, Your cells are constantly dying and being created. Never stop changing.
Wow, thank you. I’ll take that advice and use it.
i can’t say it better than cyp
but i would say it like that if i could <3
<3
*hugs* I’m really sorry, Snowbreeze. Being someone you’re not won’t help. (Did that sound rude?) Being kind is ALWAYS a good thing. Being rude isn’t a good thing. When you’re feeling upset with yourself, think of all the good things about you. You’re an amazing person. Be that person. *hugs Snowy a million times* <3 <3 <3
Thank you! And no, that wasn’t rude at all. 🙂
Oops, I mean “never to be tough” not “never to not be tough”.
Stop trying to define yourself and let yourself just be who you are. Talk to your family and tell them this is serious and something you really believe in and not just some joke. Even if they continue to not understand, don’t let that stop you. You’re making great progress. *huggles*
Thank you so much Wavey, That really helped.
Ugh I hate the boys in my class. So let’s see this guy , let’s call him Pawpaw, was being really annoying in IT and literally tried to BURN me with a boiling rubber which he left on the radiator. Some people are so immature. He hates me, and I have no idea why. But on the bright side, it was my donut sale today and I made over 100$€£ or whatever you call them. I guess there’s no point in complaining, it’s not like you can do anything about it. Has anybody ever hated you for no reason?
^extreme HUGGLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ^
The boys in my grade, except for a few, are e x t r e m e l y a n n o y i n g.
And one, lets call him Prefixkit, really hates me, and the rest of the girls in the class, because he gets loud and annoying during indoor recess and he doesn’t like it when we tell the teacher.
*hugs* People can be REALLY SUPER frustrating. I’d report him to a teacher, BURNING PEOPLE IS NOT OKAY I NEED TO PUNCH THAT KID. <3 <3 <3
I don't think anyone really HATED me before, but I know there have been people that disliked me a lot.
There’s always something you can do about it. Shouldn’t there be some rule against harassment? If he continues to act this way, tell someone. Maybe get one of your friends to ask him why, but that’s not a pressing question. I’ve had that situation before and it sucks, but you have to talk to others before it gets out of hand.
Congrats on your donut sale! I certainly would have bought one if I’d been there 😉 (and for some reason my chromebook thinks donut is misspelled and should be spelled donuts 😛 )
I can’t believe it… one of my Internet friends lied to me and they also said their parents had them block me! So now Frogpaw, another online friend, hates them and I just don’t know what to do. I talked with my IRL friend (let’s call her Fernpaw) about it and I feel a little bit better but.
I’m sorry! *huggles*
*hugs* Internet people can be… shifty. I hope it clears up. <3 <3 <3
I’m really sorry! I don’t quite understand why you’re upset about Frogpaw being mad, but I’m glad Fernpaw helped you feel better. If they lied to you maybe it’s best to just avoid them, block them yourself, and spend time with friends who actually care for you, like Fernpaw. *huggles*
The boy (good grief lets give him a name) uh….Wood…..paw…
Okay so Woodpaw asked me out and gave me chocolates, and when i said no, i received a small note form his sister calling me a heartbreaker. 😮 🙁
Ssooo…..Guess i won’t be friends with him anytime soon….
On a much brighter note, i got a fourwheeler. Its blue, and i can ride it on our driveway.
Awww, I’m sorry 🙁 I understand why his sister says that, but really she shouldn’t — you shouldn’t be pressured into doing anything. Also, cool! I love blue 😛
I’m so excited for my four-wheeler, I can ride it in such cool places! Even though I’m just learning how to operate it (I learned today how to back it up and go forward with the gear shift and blah blah) , its gonna help me get ready for driving, because it has steering wheel instead of handle bar thingies.. Our driveway is also perfect for riding because, down the road from us is an access road and we can go up the mountain, except we can’t go on the access road right now, because it has certain dates in which you can go on it with a motorized vehicle.
I would try to become friends with Woodpaw even though you rejected him, because who knows? You just might end up liking him as more than a friend later in life. It’s worth a shot.
*hugs* I’m so sorry, Dawny. I don’t have any advice… I’m really sorry. <3 <3 <3
I’m really sorry. Talk to Woodpaw and explain that you still want to be friends and you said no because you didn’t want to hurt him later on. It’s understandable if he’s not okay with it because he’s probably really upset, but he’ll get over it. As for his sister, that was pretty uncalled for. Tell her you just didn’t want to hurt him more later on and if she continues to press you avoid her. *huggles*
I am so sorry Wavey! *hugs wavey*, I am so sorry to anycat that posts about a bad time! *hugs everyone*
