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
QUICK HELP I NEED TO TELL MY CRUSH I LIKE HER MAPLEFIRE CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH SUCH PIPING HOT TEA. IT WILL SCOLD ALL OF US BACK INTO THE hole of homos.
Good luck!
Good luck Dappy! ❤️ *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
You can do it! I believe in you ❤️
Uggh
So I used to have this great music teacher but then she left to a different School and now we have this substitute that has no experience in music and keeps moving on when kids clearly don’t know what we’re doing.
It’s not that bad but kinda annoying
Ugh 🙁 I’m sorry Blossomkit 🙁 *HUGGLES*
Thanks. It’s not terrible but it’s just annoying. But thanks!
<33
Ugh I’m sorry Blossom. ❤️ Do you know how long she’ll be there for until there’s a permanent replacement teacher? *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
I thought there was no math homework for the long weekend, but my math teacher just posted it on the school website today and it’s the most I’ve ever seen and I barely have any time to do it. There’s so much I feel like crying but I can’t or I’ll be screamed at.
I’m sorry 😔🙁
Huggies? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’ll get screamed at? 🙁 I’m so sorry Raven!!! <333333 *HUGGLES* If you need to cry, maybe you could do it in a shut room <33333 *HUGGLES AGAIN * <333333 ILY <33
Oh no, I’m sorry Raven. ❤️ Take some deep breaths, and focus on one part of the homework at a time. If you get frustrated with a certain problem, set it aside and come back to it. If you have trouble with a particular concept, Kahn Academy is a great resource. Good luck! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
I second the kahn academy thing.
Ugh. I’m kinda sad right now. Hugs?
Aww, I’m sorry dear ❤️ *huggles*
<33333 *HUGS* 🙁 <3333
Aw I’m sorry Emb. ❤️ If you ever need to talk more, we’re here for you. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
*Hugs*
I feel like a lot of people are ignoring me in life (including BlogClan too)
My boyfriend is ignoring me, my sister, my friends. BLOGCLAN. Even my mum
I can’t help just feeling like did I do something wrong?
I don’t even know if any of you will even see this either.
We’re not ignoring you, Sunny! <3333333 *HUGGLES* I'm sorry you feel this way 🙁 I'm sorry you boyfriend and family seems to be doing this, but maybe they're not trying to? <3333333 *HUGGLES* I hope you feel better, my friend <333333
I’m so sorry Sunny dear. ❤️ I promise that no one (at least on BlogClan) is ignoring you on purpose. If I’m someone that’s making you feel that, I’m really sorry. ❤️ For people in real life, can you talk to them about you feel? It’s possible they’re busy and don’t realize that they’re hurting you. Feel better! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
We promise that we’re not ignoring you and will never ignore you! If you feel like you’re being ignored on the blog, I’d be happy to talk to you! You’ve done nothing wrong! As for your real life relationships, I think you should tell them that you feel ignored. Ask them if you can spend more time together *Hugs*
Right now I HATE Honeypaw and Gingerpaw!!! Yesterday they were saying that friends was stupid and boring and because I love friends I told them that it was a great show and we all got into a big argument. Today during help class I walked into history only to hear them saying rude things about me behind my back. So I walked out of the room and now I’m writing this and I’m about to cry.
🙁 *hugs*
Pasty <3 <3 I'm so sorry. Regardless of whether they liked the show or not, they could have been respectful about it. A simple, "I dislike it because of this, but it's great that you like it. (switch topic)"
I'm so sorry they're talking behind your back that's so rude <3 Seriously, please try to find some new friends. I promise it'll be better <3
I’m so sorry Pasty. ❤️ They shouldn’t be so disrespectful; your opinion is just as valid as theirs, and it’s unfair that they are behaving otherwise. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Ugh 🙁 How mean and rude!!! I’m so sorry Pasty <3333333333 *HUGGLES* <333333
That is really rude of them. While they’re entitled to their own opinions, they shouldn’t talk behind your back. I hope things between you guys gets better *Hugs*
I’m sad now. Someone put me down on the alligences list as an apprentice.
Hey, Dovestream! I am, unfortunately, that someone. 😛 You listed your grade in school as “Middle School”, which would make you an apprentice. You are, of course, able to interact as Dovestream everywhere else on the site! There’s a lot of fun to be had as an apprentice, and you’ll be a warrior soon enough. 🙂 *hugs*
Can eaglepaw still be my apprentice?
Unfortunately, no ^^ Apprentices can’t take on an apprentice, but you can have an apprentice when you reach high school!
Aw I’m sorry.
*hugs* ❤️
Apprentices are the best though!
(No offence, warriors!)
Hope you feel better
Eagle , I thank you. I also thank everyone else who gave me virtual hugs.
-how do you guys post a meme into a comment?
also, whose my mentor?
What Viper said! I am also an apprentice but I go around with my Warrior name. There’s no shame in being an apprentice! 🙂
You can still go by Dovestream everywhere else! Lots of apprentices do that. 🙂 Enjoy your time as an apprentice, and remember that you’ll get to be a warrior soon! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
If you’re in middle school, you’re an apprentice, like me 😀 I’m sorry you’re sad <333 *HUGGLES* Dove <33
Don’t worry Dovey! You’ll be a warrior one day! And for now, you can share the den with me! 😛
I still have this hollow feeling in my belly. Can I please just have some hugs
Aw I hope you feel better soon Cloudy dear. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
*hugs* I’ve experienced the same thing before. It just takes time. Maybe try going for a walk outside or something, or drawing, or writing, or locking your bedroom door and throwing a private dance party 😛
*Hugs*
Hope you feel better soon.
💓💓💓💓💓*hug* 💓💓💓💓
*gives Cloudy many huggles through screen*
Aww, I hope the feeling gets better Cloudy 🙁 *Hugs*

For anyone who needs hugs, Honey, my cat, sends you some 💖
She’s adorable ❤️
Thank you! 😄
Very cute! I have a cat too, but he got neutered yesterday.
-p.s hugs to cloudy.
Aw! Honey’s neutered too.
(Sorry for the late reply!)
My comments keep disappearing from Blogclan 😭 and lately a whole bunch of them aren’t being modded at all. 🙁 I don’t know if this is an error on my part, or if it’s the spam monster/Blogclan itself but either way… ugh.
The Spam Monster ate them!! You haven’t done anything wrong. 🙂
I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong! The spam monster is just very rude. 🙁 *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Or that the comments are being held back because they’re addressed to certain mods and we leave those for the mods in question to moderate so they can see them 🙂
That too 🙂
also this unrelated but I like your autumn name 😛
Thank you! I just switch out the season whenever the season changes 😛
This is happening to me too, where it still says your comment is awaiting moderation when I’m pretty sure it’s modded :\ As for the disappearing, that’d be the darn spam monster 🙁 *HUGS*
It’s been fixed now, but thanks for the hugs!
😀
I know this may not sound like a big deal to some people, but lately I’ve been really needing help getting over a crush. I just want to vent about him, kind of just talk about how we met, memories, whatever. I just need to tell somebody, and maybe that’ll help get me some advice about what to do?? I’m just not sure anymore.
I met this guy my first year of middle school, so in 6th grade. We honestly met in the most cliche way possible, I swear I could almost here a sitcom laugh-track lol. It was my first day(I was terrified out of my mind about starting a new school!) and I was wandering the halls, sort-of lost and trying to find my locker. Suddenly he came running out of the classroom and ran into me, knocking all my stuff out of my hands. I got really angry and turned to start yelling this guy’s head off; but then I stopped. He turned, all flustered, and started talking about how he was so sorry and was picking up my things. But I was just frozen, and in my head I was basically: 𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘵! He helped me up and introduced himself, saying that he’d never seen me before so he guessed I was new. I, meanwhile, was embarrassed and jumbling all my words in front of him. I couldn’t even get a normal sentence out haha. After showing me around the school for a minute or two, it turned out we had the same homeroom so we headed back and sat next to each other.
After that we would chat a lot in between classes. We both really liked Harry Potter and Star Wars, and it turned out his favorite band was Journey (they weren’t my favorite but I still really liked them). I would show him some of my old comics, and he would show me old sports and activities he used to do. During class we would constantly be trying to make each other laugh, or make funny little references just to be dumb.
I have these weird little specific memories, too. Like one memory when we were doing a dance routine for a gym segment, there was a part where I got lifted up and had to fall back. Can you guess who had to catch me? Lol I’m like blushing so hard while I’m just typing about it. We would always high-five afterward and sometimes when we would leave the class (it was the last hour of the day) he would always smile and wave.
Another memory of playing an online game for our class where we had to sign into a live quiz, and we could make funny nicknames. I made mine “I’m Batman” and he took one look at that and named his “I’m NOT Batman.”
Another one I remember: where I fell down the stairs while walking with him and fell, scraping my elbow. He had to support me and help me to the Science Room (It was where we were heading and it was also the nearest place we knew had band-aids and whatnot). The next day he came up to me, and jokingly said, quote: “Glad your elbow didn’t kill you yesterday, I was worried.”
And my personal favorite: A random conversation we had where I was telling him about McDonald’s new delivery service and he replied, “Well that’s McDumb!” It made me laugh.
I truly do think for a while he had a crush on me too. There was a rumor about it for a while, and sometimes I would almost get the nerve to ask him (maybe even ask him out haha) but chicken out at the last minute. After a while though, we kinda started to drift apart. We got put in less classes together, and just began to stop talking to each other. These days we hardly even look at each other, I haven’t said a word to him in almost 2 years!! I really miss talking to him, but I’m not sure if he feels the same. Every-time I try to approach him I swear he ducks his head and leaves as quick as he can. It honestly kills me that I still have a crush on him, because now he’ll talk to every other girl in the world before he’ll talk to me. But maybe part of it is my imagination, but I swear there’s this awkward tension between us now that I want to go away. Now I’ve just been trying to move on and not think about him, but I keep glancing at him and just keep hoping maybe he’ll talk to me. It’s not healthy to be hung on somebody for so long.
What should I do? Hugs? Advice?
He sounds so nice 😀 I don’t blame you for having a crush on him <3 I don't have advice, but *hug* <33333333333333 Good luck, Sparky! <333
To me it sounds like you guys were really good friends. At this point, I think the only thing you can do to put your mind at ease is get an answer. When you have time and he’s alone, just go up to him and just blurt out “What’s going on?” and see how he replies. If he wants to ditch you, that’s his choice and you’ll move on. But at least you’ll know. If it was a misunderstanding, hopefully it’ll work out. But right now it’s more of a matter that you don’t know why it seems like he’s avoiding you. That would be the first step in my opinion.
Aw I’m sorry Spark dear. ❤️ Is it possible for you to seek him out in the halls and just talk to him? Or do you have his phone number or email buried away somewhere? Like Blue said, it’s a good idea to just ask him what’s going on. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I think the best thing that you could do it just ask him “How’s it going” or just start a conversation with him. Kinda like what Blueheart said. Other than that, I really don’t have anymore advice but *hugs* and good luck!
*Hugs* I’m not good at advice, but I’d say just try talking to him and judge what you should do based on his reaction (like the others have been saying). I wish you luck! A similar thing actually happened to me. Me and said person don’t really talk anymore, which is still makes me sad sometimes. (I’m over him but he was a good friend so I still kinda miss talking to him…….but he’s popular now so probably not someone I’d want to talk to now…..)
Alright, just to get this out, i do not mean this derogatory to anyone and i don’t mean it meanly.
I went to a amusement park today and there was a person who was mentally a child and I was starting to get nervous. I don’t mean this to be mean, but ever since that guy who was mentally like a little kid, followed us, I have been anxious or nervous when people who are mentally like that are around. I don’t mean it to be mean, but what if they will follow me?
I just get nervous and I don’t know why that guy did that, but i feel bad.
I don’t mean to sound cruel or prejudice or mean. No offense.
I just get nervous when people stare at me?
Is that a problem?
Am I just paranoid?
Help.
No no no that is TOTALLY normal, Blossom <33333 I go to a library and a group of people who are like that come in almost every day. It is unsettling sometimes, even though it's not their fault <333 It's okay to be nervous <333 You're not paranoid, and it's not a problem 😀 *hug* <3333333333333333
Thanks Pebble!
😀
It sounds like what you’re feeling is perfectly normal. ❤️ If you can, talking to your parents about it might be helpful; they might be able to calm your fears. Feel better! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Fally🙏🏻I’ve talked to them about it, and it’s a bit more calm than it was before. But sometimes, it just comes back again. Thank you, I’m feeling better.
A tiger at the zoo that i go to died. 😭
He was old and didn’t walk that much but one time he went up towards me and chuffed, which he usually didn’t do. I loved him, and he loved me.
Omg I’m so so sorry…. 💗*HUG*💗 That’s so sad.. :'( But you had good time together, right? 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 I hope he’s happy where he is now.. 💗💗💗💗 *HUGGLES* Bramble <33 💗💗💗💗💗
Oh no, I’m so sorry Bramble. ❤️ Cherish the time you had together, and remember that he had a good and happy life. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Awww, I’m so sorry Brambleheart…at least you got to know that tiger and have that little connection with him. Rest In Peace…*huggles*❤️
