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
Today at lunch we had a food fight with some boys who were sitting on the next table along.
It started when one of them dropped an Apple, and my friend, let’s call her Shadepaw, threw it to them and it hit one of them on the back.
So the boy threw it back and it bounced off another friend, let’s call her Bananapaw,
This annoyed Bananapaw who grabbed a carrot stick and chucked it back at them along with the Apple.
Of course this became a food fight.
One of the boys had a banana and he threw it and it landed in front of me so I hurled it back.
It went back and forth and back and forth until Shadepaw warned “I think it’s going to split.”.
So we left the banana. But then of course one of the boys picked it up and put it on their table.
Then a boy who I’m going to call Tigerpaw, picked up the squishy banana and threw it at us.
It went straight on to Bananapaw and split. All. Over. Her.
It was on the uniform, face, hair and the walls behind her.
Me Shadepaw and our two other friends just gasped, frozen.
Bananapaw picked up all her belongings and stormed off, looking like she was going to cry.
I had never been so mad at Tigerpaw.
We couldn’t find Bananapaw anywhere, and when she did, she completely ignored us.
I feel so bad, I’m such a terrible friend, I should have stuck up for her and helped her.
What should I do?
I’ve never been in a food fight, but wow!
Maybe you can talk to her and help clean her clothes and hair. Get you and your friends some new lunch and talk about it.
Or not, talk about something else!💝
You are not a terrible friend! You did nothing wrong. You were shocked, you froze! I don’t know exactly what to say, but I’m sorry*huggles to you and Bananapaw*💗
Oof, that’s not fun Eaglepaw! Do you have a phone? Maybe you could text Bananapaw or call her and tell her that you feel bad for her.
Infinite huggles for you and Bananapaw!
Aw I’m sorry Eagle. ❤️ I would definitely reach out to your friend – if you can find her talk to her in person, but if you can’t call/email/text her and let her know that you’re sorry. I hope everything works out! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
I kinda had an awful day today….. I’m sure many of you have heard about my crush Sorrelpaw. Today during art Brookpaw (who’s really nice) was talking to someone about who Sorrelpaw liked it and guess what? She likes a boy. When I heard this it felt like me shell necklace was choking me. It took me a while to wrap my head around what was happening when it hit me I almost started sobbing. I know she’s bi so she likes girls and boys but it just hit me so hard. I imagined we would end up together. Sorrelpaw is the only person I ever truly loved. I don’t think I could have those feelings for anyone else. I just don’t know what to do. She’s so beautiful and amazing and I hope whoever she ends up with treats her well because she deserves the best.
Sorry, Pasty! Maybe you could talk to Sorrelpaw about the situation you’re in.
Infinite huggles for you!
I’m sorry Pasty dear. ❤️ I don’t have any advice, but I really hope everything works out. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
So you know how I’m on a volleyball team? I don’t like it much, but when I’m there, I at least want to do something. And we’ve had four games. I didn’t play in one because I forgot my jersey, but twice I haven’t played at all. emailed my coach about why I’ve played once in four games, and even then I was the first switched out.
She said one of the reasons was because some people have set themselves apart.
I’m really upset about that because if I’ve played one time, I haven’t had much time to set myself apart. Also, before we had any games, guess what she said? That we’d play based off of how hard we tried in practice.
I do get her reason of me not bringing my stuff last time, but still. There were people who played in every game today and meanwhile, here I am. I’m just sobbing because I think it’s stupid. It’s not making me feel better.
She also said that sports aren’t always fair, but there’s a difference between not fair and barely letting someone play.
I’m just feeling upset and angry.
And obviously also spooky 😛
Also I mean yesterday. The game was yesterday
I really don’t know how to help but *hugs*
I’m sorry Ice. ❤️ What your coach is doing is really not cool. Is it possible you could bring homework to work on when you’re not able to play? This way you’re at least able to do something productive. Hopefully she’ll at least let you play soon! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
POEPLE. Oh, wait. Spelled that wrong😂 AUTOCORRECT NEEDED. People. You are the best ever. We love you all, no matter what color, religion, gender, or anything. We love you all the same😊
❤️
💖💖💝💖💖💝💝💗💝💗💗💗
So today I found out that yesterday one of the teachers at my high school passed away from a heart attack. He was about 65 years old and has been teaching at our school for more than 15 years. He was one of the art teachers and was close friends with several of the other teachers. I never got to meet him. During third period my teacher had to read a note to the class saying that he had passed, and it was hard hearing the news, especially because teacher reading the note had been a close friend of his. It was quiet at school today. Send hugs for the people who are grieving. May Starclan light his path.
*Hugs* For all that are grieving for him. I hope he’s happy now <3
*Hugs*
That’s terrible, Fawny. I’m so sorry for you and your school for losing someone so dear to you. 🙁 Hopefully he’s in a better place now <3
That’s awful, Fawny! Let’s hope he’s in a better place now <3
Infinite huggles for everyone grieving him!
Oh no, I’m so sorry Fawny. ❤️ *hugs for you and the rest of your school* ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry 🙁 *HUGSSS* your way and to all those who are grieving 🙁
My family is having a gnarly fight right now. I’m afraid for my sister.
I’m sorry Blossom dear.❤️ *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
I hope things calm down!! 🙁 🙁 💗💗💗💗💗 *HUGGGSSS*
There was a REAL fire at school today, and while waiting outside a yellow jacket flew up my sleeve and stung me. We waited outside in the rain, and then went to our last related arts class.I went to tech ed, and we are builing a tower. My group ruined ours, and it is horrible.
I’m sorry Raven. ❤️Hopefully tomorrow will be better! Be sure to take care of the sting. *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
That sounds scary 🙁 At least you and everyone is okay! I’ve never been stung so I don’t have suggestions for the sting, but see to it soon! <333
I don’t want to type it all out, but in science today my lab partner yelled at me to do something, I panicked, didn’t know how, and he yelled at me for panicking and not knowing how to do it and treated me rudely the whole class, talked to me condescendingly, and told me to move out of the way.
Awwww I’m so sorry Raven dear
That kid is rude. He has no right to treat you like g thy at. Why is he yelling in a classroom in the first place? Honestly, that’s very immature of him. And believe me, I know plenty of immature people. That person sounds like a second grader.
You are never in the way ❤️❤️
You deserve a bette lab partner. Try to explain it to him next time you see him. Tell him that he freaked you out when he yelled at you.
Aww Raven I’m so sorry. ❤️ You are an awesome person and you deserve so much better than that. I would talk to him next you see him; explain what happened. If he does it again, talk to your teacher; he should not be behaving that way, especially in a classroom setting. Feel better! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Alright, that is not okay. I’m so so sorry he did that. He has no right to treat you that way. Especially if he doesn’t clarify what he wants! 💗💗💗*HUGSSS* 💗💗💗💗 Could you tell someone?
Periods sU C K
Too true. At least it only lasts a week! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
I have not been feeling myself for about 3 days now . I’ve been super tired and have not really woken up at all . I’m getting cranky easily and all i want to do is sleep . I think i’m getting sick but idk though . I have a bit of a sore throat and not that hungry ( I do have a appetite though ) I honestly just want to sleep instead of being at school . I most likely should go to the nurse but idk if my parents would pick me up . My mom can’t pick me up because her work is 30 ish mins away . Ugh its not been my week . can I have some hugs
*Hugs*
I’m sorry Thistle dear. ❤️ Drink lots of water and try to rest when you can. Feel better! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️ *hugs!* 🙁 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don’t worry Thistle, you will feel better soon! *HUGS*
There was a REAL fire at school today, and while waiting outside a yellow jacket flew up my sleeve and stung me. We waited outside in the rain, and then went to our last related arts class.I went to tech ed, and we are builing a tower. My group ruined ours, and it is horrible.
Now for the rest of the story
the one time there was a REAL fire the fire larm did not go off. the bee sting is on my middle finger and I cant move my finger. That makes it really hard to play my violin and I have private lessons today. I wasn’t able to finish writing this because I HAD TO GO TO BED.
I did not mean to write that in all capital.
Aw I’m really sorry Raven. ❤️ I hope you feel better soon! *hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️*hugs* 🙁 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
