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
So here is my update on… me? I guess. Whatever! Who cares?
My hand hurts! My right hand, which sucks, because I am a righty. I officially need new glasses. My eyesight is, I am just guessing here, twice as bad as a year ago. I’m paranoid, for some reasons I’m not really sure of. I am grumpy as heckles because I’m distracted and a bit overwhelmed. Great. So I don’t know how to explain how I feel! Hm… Tired, and sad. Ugh I can never freaking find a way to even talk. What the heck is wrong with me? -_-
Well hope everyone is great. <3
Awww, Daisypaw! I felt like that yesterday! You know, just grumpy and mad at the whole world. (Hopefully thats how you feel) Anyway, its probably just hormones. (Judging that your in middle school, cause your name is DaisyPAW). And I hope your hand feels better, and maybe ask your parents for glasses or go get a seeing test? If any of these suggestions has a problem, and you cant do them, tell reply and I’ll try to figure out another way to help you! Remember, BlogClan is always here for you!
I have glasses, they’re just too weak now. My hand will be fine, it’s probably fine I mean. 😛 Thanks for trying to help. I was just grumpy cause my friends were annoying me..
O noes! Don’t worry, typical hand pains only last a little while. And nothing is wrong with you! Everybody gets grumpy and tired and sad, but these are all things we can overcome with friends and family 🙂 . And if you ever need to talk to us about how you’ve been feeling, we’re always right here <3 *huggles*
thank you fro <3
yeah i didnt think much of my hand, and it's better 😛
(i somehow just almost prented the hug page with random buttons?)
*hugs* I hope your hand feels better soon, Daisy. Maybe you over-used it? Is that even a thing 😛 I hope you feel better soon, Daisy. I don’t have any advice, I’m really sorry…
That’s fine. 😛 My hand is fine. And YES! It IS a thing to overuse a hand. 😛
^hugs^ Feel better physically and emotionally soon, you’re an amazing person Daz!
Hugs to everyone. My foot hurts today, I dropped a cactus on it. There are tiny red holes that seem to be healing a little.
^hugs^ Hope your foot feels better soon!
Wheeeeee, feeling depressed. What fun. I hate my life because it’s just one continuance. Every day is a nice thing to get through without breaking down. Also, outside is boring. I miss winter so much. Brown-green flat grass all around. I wish I could have fun in my life.
*hugs* I hope you feel better soon, Snowbreeze. In the spring, if you’re finding your yard boring, plant some flowers. Once they grow, they’ll add color to your yard.
Thank you, that might help. 🙂
Say bubbles in an angry voice.
🙂
^hugs^
Watch cat videos 🙂 {or there’s a video of barn owls dancing to a song by ke$ha that’s funny too}
Spring will come soon, don’t worry. Maybe buy a potted plant for your room.
People can be real mouse-brains sometimes. So on Wattpad I ranted about how I hate people that glamorize mental illnesses.
Well this one so-called “friend” said that I was making a big deal out of it and that people don’t glamorize mental illnesses!
YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!
MY STARCLAN!!!! ARE YOU BLIND?!?!?!

one, i hate people like that!!!!! two, UGH TO THAT PERSON AT THE END!!!
*hugs* People= the most frustrating thing on Earth at times. I hope that “friend” opens his/her eyes soon.
I’m sorry Wingy (can I call you that) *huggles*
Aww, those kinds of people who go out of their way to disprove the obvious are just unbearable >:c I hope that person starts respecting other people’s opinions soon *huggles*
Today is probably one of the most miserable days EVER
🙁
I woke up to a hungry cat and had to get out of my nice warm bed
My grandma told me i had to eat breakfast, so i had half a banana, and it made me gag.
After that i just played on my tablet, while in bed for about an hour, then i decided to get up.
I made myself a bagel with cheese and ham on it, which was REALLY good, by the way.
About 2 hours after i ate my bagel my stomach started hurting and i felt dizzy and queasy.
I had a glass of water thinking i was dehydrated, but after i drank the water, I vomited.
Then, i vomited about 4 times after that.
So, right now I’m really hungry, but i can’t eat anything, because i cant even keep down water.
And to top all that off, tomorrow is Monday, which means school.
Tomorrow is state testing.
Thursday is the Spring Dance.
WHY WHY WHY WHY. 🙁
I dont wanna test
I dont wanna go to the dance and see my best friends matching dresses that they never told me about until this morning
and i especially don’t wanna not eat anything all day.
Sorry for my miserable rant, im just having a bad day and im hungry and bbbbllllaaahhhhh I could really use some hugs. 🙁
I think I had that disease before, BUT IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON. I hope you get better soon, but don’t eat otherwise you will probably throw up. Make sure to eat otherwise you’ll die. And try saying bubbles angrily.
BUBBLES
Thanks Peep 🙂
I’m feeling much better, it was just a 24 hour bug.
*hugs* <3
I’m sorry, Lil! (Can I call you that?) I hope that you feel better soon (not before state testing, though! :P)
*huggles and some yarrow*
Sure you can call me Lil!
I’m feelings WAY better, it was just a 24 hour bug
*hugs* I hope you feel better soon, Dawny. Hopefully you’ll feel better after a good sleep!
i DID have a good sleep 😛
I was really grumpy and miserable, it was just a 24 hour bug, im feelings so much better
I’m glad you’re feeling better! 😀
*Huggles* oh no!! Get better soon! (Hey at least you can spend your time sick in BlogClan 🙂 )
BlogClan is one of the best places to go when you’re sad/miserable.
im feeling way better
Awww, that sounds terrible! I’m pretty sure I’ve had what you talked about, and I think you’re having the stomach flu. (Of course, I could be wrong so you should probably ask a doctor first 😉 ) Being sick is definitely no fun, and I really hope you feel better! I’m not sure if they have this at your school, but maybe you could ask to make up the state testing during a study hall(if you have that at your school). I’m sure if you tell your friends what happened, they’ll understand and you won’t have to go. Don’t worry about ranting, that what we’re here for!!! It’s all going to be okay!!! 🙂 *huggles Lily* <3 <3 <3
We dont have study hall, and our regular middle school schedule was all messed up.
I had like this 24 hour bug. 😛
*hugs* Never apologize for ranting! You can do it anytime. <3 I hope you feel better soon!
o noes! I hope you feel better soon! *huggles*
Man, that must suck. The same thing happened to me except twice a month on the weekends in the SUMMER. And before that I got sick during Christmas meaning I had to miss the yearly Christmas eve party, my favorite part of the year. My cousins also came over from across the Atlantic and got sick too. this all happened through Christmas day.
I hope you feel better soon! Eat something small like crackers and drink a lot of water! 🚰
I need to rant. So, I’m feeling fine, except for a dry throat, a runny nose, and sneezes which I’m getting used to as they’re my allergies, buuuut, we have this thingmcbobber I’m doing with Flamepaw, but another one of our members is sick, and we didn’t practice with microphones so if we have to perform anyways, we might fail. I if we don’t I will die of happiness. But bye. (Autocorrect is getting really annoying too.)
*hugs* Allergies suck. I hope you feel better soon. You’ll do great!
It’s tonight, we haft a do it, but we have some time to practice
Aww, allergies suck! I hope you feel better soon! And you won’t fail *huggles*
Aw, I’m sorry! *hugs* I hope you and your group member feel better soon! <3 <3
It’s over! And we only horribly failed once because we lost our antagonist. (Actually The They lost it, not us)
Awww, everyone is getting sick! 😟 First it was my sisters Cornsnake, Pinestem, Rosepaw, Oceankit, my brother, my mom, all of you guys, now my dad too! I was sick for a couple days, but right now simply dehydrated. I should drink water. I will after this is typed out, I suppose. Anyway…
I don’t really know what to say. 😕 Erm… so last night was just… bad; I guess? Erm, yeah. So I was awake staring at the ceiling until about 4:00 in the morning. Cried some too… I got up a few times and walked around in pitch black. Just in the living room and bathroom. Talked to myself some… Stared at some random scar. Got to annoyed with a tiny bug bite that scratched it very hard and now it is still a little red and a bit swollen. Refused to drink or sleep as long as I could. Eventually I fell asleep, though. Half the time I just felt emotionless and the other half crying and muttering to any empty room.
Sorry to Lau about the prob;ems with the musical. 😔 I hope stuff works out!
P.S. death to the rooster cawing outside the door. 😠
Aww, it’s probably just a bug going around. It’ll go away soon 🙂
Try to go to sleep early 🙂 . If you can’t and you feel horrible, try to locate the problem and take care of it. Unless there’s a problem, there’s nothing to be sad about! 😀 I’m sorry if I gave bad advice (I’m horrible at it 😛 ), and I hope you feel better soon! *huggles*
Hey Fro. 😀
Okay, I chased the stupid chicken away. He’s so loud.
I didn’t fall asleep till 4 AM this time because of my little sister Oceankit, and I only slept four hours. 😛 I shouldn’t be on BlogClan right now, but, eh… I’ll multitask.
ONLY I AM CALLED FRO!! PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY NAME!!!!! I MADE IT UP!!
*hugs* I hope everyone feels better soon. Do you read before you sleep? If you don’t, I would try it, I find it helps a lot. I hope tomorrow night’s better!
Nope. 😛 Plus I get wrapped up and read for five hours.
Try
being interested inreading Twilight. You’ll fall right asleep 😛*Huggles* <3 <3 <3 I hope everyone gets better quickly, and I'm glad you recovered. ^^
Daisy, if you ever are having a bad night, PM me. We can talk as long you need to, okay? I'm here for you. We can stay up together, or you can just come so I can tell you to go to sleep if you like. Like suggested, reading till you fall asleep seems good. When you're feeling bad, try writing a poem, or drawing, or just doing anything you're passionate about. Remember, I'm always here to listen. <3
Awww sorry I didn’t see this until now! I hope you feel better now, and even if you don’t please don’t hesitate to talk to me — I would be happy to stay up with you whenever you need it, okay? 🙂 (and btw the muscial went a lot better than expected — thank you for your thoughfulness <3 )
Warning: a long rant ahead.
At school our class has this competition where we all have to get at least 7 positive markings from teachers before this (uh what is it called… Google translate says: ) stint, section, installment, passage, cycle, spell/window (hopefully you understood) ends. If we every one of us gets them, we will go to a pizzeria. If one of us doesn’t get seven of them, nobody goes. These markings are things that teachers mark for you on their internet website thingy for other teachers and your parents to see, if you a) raise your hand during a lesson many times or b) have a very positive attitude (they hardly ever give this).
The thing is, this (stint, installment etc.) is ending on Friday.
And I have no positive markings.
Not even one.
The reason is, I never raise my hand up. Never. Not even once a year. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Because of me we probably can’t go to a pizzeria. That would be so embarrasing and make people hate me. I’m not very loved at school right now either (not bullied or anything like that), just imagine the situation then. Everyone would speak nasty things about me behind my back or something else.
I do have hope too, there’s a few people (boys) who say they don’t have any marking either. Probably because they aren’t really paying attention on lessons. If they don’t get those 7 marking until Friday, I’m not the only one causing pizzerialessness. Phew. I don’t want that pizza anyway.
I could try to get all those seven tomorrow and Friday, but that’s pretty impossible. Seven marking a year is suoer much for me, not to mention 7 markings in TWO DAYS. We don’t even have that much different lessons in two days. I think.
There’s pretty much nothing I can do, but I’m still worried.
Thanks for reading this long long rant, hopefully I explained these things clearly enough
Aww, that must feel terrible! The key to raising your hand is self-confidence. Just tell yourself you can, and you’re already on the way there. Having confidence in yourself really brings amazing things. And even if you don’t get seven marks by Friday, who cares? If people want to blame you and dislike you for it, then that’s their problem. People who care about it don’t matter, and people who matter don’t care 🙂 *huggles*
Thanks Frosty 🙂 !!
*hugs* I’m sorry, Swan(y?). I don’t really have any advice…. I’m really sorry…
Call me whatever you like 🙂
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any advice, it only matters that you read my rant and cared to comment 🙂
*huggles* Swany, you’re a pretty darn amazing person with or without marks. You shouldn’t be judged for something as trivial as that. If they get ticked at your for it, they aren’t worth it.
Thanks <3
I’m stressed. I just am. I’m stressed because I haven’t seen my tutors in a while, and I’m so nervous of seeing them again I actually broke down crying and shaking. WHY DO I DO THIS?
Help. Also I don’t feel tough because I’m a crying mess. And I look so freaking immature and ugly and I act and draw like crap.
Aww, that must feel terrible! Have you figured out the reason you’re stressed that they aren’t here? And you are not immature or ugly. Don’t ever say that. Also, it doesn’t matter if you’re not the best drawer, we still love you *huggles*
*hugs* I’m sorry, Snowy. You are NOT immature, and you are NOT ugly. Try your hardest not to think negatively, because it will only make you feel worse. It doesn’t matter if you can’t draw good!
Thanks.
It’s okay Snow. We’ve all done something like it. It can be embarrassing, but there’s no shame in it. 🙂 It happens to EVERYBODY, for the exact same reason teachers yell at their students! They’re just stressed. Make time for yourself, okay? When you are working on school take a few breaks for a few minutes and maybe work on a doodle, make up words, or just stare out of a window. Nothing too fixed so you don’t get distracted too much.
Right now I’m learning irregular verbs in French, and I almost cried because I realized how MUCH I had to learn. I’m kind of obsessing over it. Not a good thing, hence why I stopped practicing my French skills after about four hours yesterday. Probably a bit too much. So I think maybe you’re stressing a bit too much. I get how it feels to be stressed out.
I don’t care if you would be ugly. It doesn’t matter to a single one of us. None of us know what you look like! Sure some people may be curious. But it’s not like we would judge you, I wouldn’t judge any of you people for what you LOOK like. It would be plain mean, no one can help what they look like. I dunno how well you can draw, but that doesn’t matter to me either. I used to be totally horrible. I hate how I draw now. But I have been practicing ever since I realized I liked drawing and writing. So about six years! Yet I’m not very good! It takes tons of practice. 🙂 You’ll get there if you keep trying! And you are not immature. You know what stress is, and I think that’s something that comes with being more mature.
Thank you.
Snowy! You know I love and care about you and you are not a mess. Crying is normal. I cry a lot. It happens. You aren’t ugly, kay? Understand that you’re an amazing wonderful incredible person. Drawing takes practice. You’ll get better. I haven’t seen your drawings yet, but I’m sure they’re great anyways. <3 <3
Thank you so much! <3
I’m really annoyed.
For some reason (I don’t know why) If I stay up to late, my throat starts to hurt. Then I wake up in the morning with a sore throat. At least once a week. And I’m so tired in the mornings that I can fall asleep on the couch while my brother and sister have friends over in the morning so they can all get the buss together. And they’re really loud. Then at school I always mess something up because I feel like I had a sugar rush all the way until it’s time to leave for school, then when I get there, the sugar rush wears off completely and I’m a slug that’s been up partying all night except not so slow or completely brainless that I can’t run around or do math. My mind just wanders when I’m tired. Even now, while typing this, I’m getting a sore throat. Also, has anyone had that feeling like all your anger and stuff is just like building up and there’s no way to get rid of it? For me, that’s mixed with sadness, regret, and all that stuff. I feel like my whole life is slowly drifting away as I play more video games. I maybe being over dramatic, I don’t know. I would be surprised if anyone read this far. I’m just an annoying time waster that fills up the recent purrs box and gets over excited and is afraid to post on this page because I’m new to Blogclan.
*hugs* I’m sorry, Flamepaw. Do you take melatonin?(I probably spelled that wrong) It can help you sleep. I hope you feel better soon.
I’m not exactly sure what that is but no, I don’t.
I just came here to rant
My grades recently have been dropping drastically, for some reason I’ve been feeling even lazier than I normally am, I haven’t been putting much effort into my homework and projects as I used to, plus my mom yells at me for not getting at least 95% on assignments. My tortoise seems to be getting sick, she hasn’t eaten much lately, she rarely comes out of her log, and her shell looks like it’s getting too small for her.
And to top it off, my science teacher made my crush aka Skypaw pair up with me for an assignment, due to us both not having anyone else(weird, because Skypaw seems to hang out with a different friend each day) to pair up with. The entire time, it was even more so awkward than it normally would have with anyone else, mostly for me.
I’m not sure if that was absolutely amazing(cuz I got to pair up with Skypaw) or completely horrible(cuz it was really awkward, I was writing everything, he said that his handwriting was really bad, but my hand was shaking really bad, so my handwriting was a lot worse than usual)
and don’t you go shipping sky and me
i can see you thinking about it
*hugs* I’m sorry about your grades, and I hope your tortoise feels better soon. Are you able to take your tortoise to the vet? I don’t really have any advice… sorry Mistle.
