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 uh
This is gonna sound crazy but uh
I hear clocks ticking in the middle of the night when no clocks are there, and I hear ethereal, like, not even humanly alike, mumbling
I dont k how if I’m going crazy and I should get a therapist to talk about it to or if I’m just extra and deprived of sleep
It’s actually scaring me, like, when I can make out these voices, they’re not talking very nice, like, talkin death and I try to block it out
I’m actually scared, I ain’t scared by things easily but this scares me to the moon and back
It’s okay, everyone has stages in their life where they keep hearing things.
They always go away at some point, so don’t be scared.
Try discussing it with your parents or try to ignore it.
Hugs *times 1000*
Thank you!
Oops, I forgot to change my name, I meant mentor, not men.
I’d say talk to someone about it Briar, I’m sorry I don’t have much other advice to offer, but I’m sending lots of hugs
Thank you! <3
That sounds…ugly. I’m sorry you’re going through that 🙁 Now, I’m just going to get straight to the point-here’s my advice-
I hope this helps
-Loner
Thank you Loner! To answer your question, I’ve actually never been afraid of anything that relates to books or shows or fables.
Your welcome ^^
I’ve been taking care of myself, eating healthy, mental health days, meditation..
It only happens at night though. And if I feel as though they are real, doesn’t that mean they are real because of the theory that if the belief is strong enough, psychological abilities makes it manifest itself? But yes, actually just last night, I was one of em. They looked.. disturbing. Thanks for your advice! <333
Good to hear that you’re taking care of yourself, and your welcome ^^
Also, never been too good at journaling, it usually comes out on paper like a poem or music arrangements. I cant recall any bad experiences including ethereal things or clocks ticking. I’ll do my best not to think too much bout it tho!
Sry for the multiple replies, I was worried it would get swallowed up by the spam monster.
Well, the only way to get better at journaling, is to journal 🙂
That’s totally relatable 🙂Awww, it’s okay briarpaw, If something scares me in the middle of the night I go find my cat, and that helps me. Maybe if you have a dog or cat you could go and pet it.
*Hugs*
Thanks Riverstone! My dog and cat sadly live with my aunt now cuz of school and my sis ain’t too good with animals, so I end up reading until I fall asleep. Thanks for the hugs! <33
Quote 1 for October 24 2020!
“POSITIVE THINKING is not only about EXPECTING the best to happen… But it is also about ACCEPTING whatever happens is for the BEST. Good morning.”
ARRRRGH I’M SO MAD RIGHT NOW.
So I’ve been wanting to go to this really good high school, right? It’s tuition free, and it’s got everything that I want to do when I get older: voice classes, theatre classes, and creative writing. (It’s a school for the fine arts.) It’s also a boarding school – for seventh through 12th grades. So I could go this year. And get away from my brothers, who drive me to a point of insanity.
But thing is, it’s four hours away.
My mom doesn’t like that. And no matter what I do to try and convince her, she’s stuck on ‘no’ as her answer. And that sucks. She keeps saying that there’s other options out there that we could do, but as far as I can see, this school is the only way forward for me. I mean, I’m basically a nobody, who’s parents are so strict that no is, like, 89% of their answers. And this school…oh man, it’s like a dream school. It’s got everything I need there, and since there aren’t any schools like that that are closer (my top two preferances of school: 1. boarding, 2. fine arts; this school is both).
Thanks for letting me vent. Hugs and advice are appreciated.
YOU WILL GET ALL THE HUGS IN THE WORLD (yikes that sounded weird)
*hugs*
thnx Rose.
*Hugs!*
Im sorry to hear that, i dont have much good advice, but i hope everything works out!
Thank u dove
huggles
Oh jeez..
I got the same problem..
I’m stuck in just an advanced school when I have the ability to go to Embry Riddle for my school classes because I’m excelling, and Embry Riddle has things I love, engineering, technological development, wrestling, rugby, and I could go on. That’s a dream school as well for me! Just hold on to your dream! Dont let it go! Find good arguments and find a way to convince your parents! If I can convince my parents (who wanted me to stay in a low level school,but I won the argument yo get into my current school), you can convince yours! Take the key parts of their argument and unravel their argument!I hope this helped! *hugs times 1000* <333
– Bri be doin her best
Okay, thank u Briar 🙂 this is really good advice
No problem! I hope it works out!
And I realized I sounded like a logic teacher at the end lol
Well, I don’t have any advice, but I can give you a warm hug 😊
I’m so mad at my dad right now. Yesterday he bought a cage for my cat to live in. My cat had to move out of her room, into the tiny cage that she obviously hates. She obviously misses her room, and keeps going back to it. There’s a ladder going from one ‘floor’ to another, but my cat can basically jump onto and off the top floor from the ground. My dad insisted on putting her nest at the top ‘floor’ of her cage and the cat basically knocked it over. The blanket on top of it fell into her water bowl and soaked up all the water. At night it still wasn’t dry and the cat was cold for the whole night. Now she has zero privacy, and I can’t even play with her alone anywhere apart from my room where she isn’t allowed to go in since she hasn’t been vaccinated yet. 🙁
When do you think she will be vaccinated? If that’s the issue,try and convince your parents to get her vaccinated soon. If not,maybe try to convince your dad that there are better ways to keep her contained. *hugs*
…..what??? Why would he do that? Is it for a specific reason?
*hugs times 1000*
I wish I could help, but I’ve no advice aside from taking the core beliefs of your parents’ argument and then unraveling it. If you poke at those core beliefs for not giving her the vaccinations, then you’ll be easier able to convince with your argument as long as it’s well put together. (Oh gosh, I sound like a logic class teacher)
I hope this helped! <333
-Bri's doin what she can
I’m so fluffing mad at people right now. Why do people have to be annoying over tiny little things. “Oh, well it’s not my fault you walked your dogs in front of where I was oh very clearly running.” Long story short: I was walking my dogs with my dad and this lady came around a corner and almost ran into my fat dog then blamed it on us. Then later as I tried to de-stress over everything in this almost literally going up in flames world, I joined a warrior cats game. I joined a clan. Everything seemed fine. Then two rogues walked into the camp, and wanted to join and you know what the leader did? She voided them. Completely! So as the only person who liked drama, action or at least entertainment other then sitting around, I engaged in a conversation. Then some random cat walks over to me and declares I am no longer part of the role-play just because I didn’t obey the leader’s rule. Everyone didn’t care and I continued talking. A few minutes later I was talking with someone else and the same person paces over my character like I’m not even there! Then she switches into a stretch animation right IN MY FACE. So all I can see is her fluffy butt. Then after I confronted her she said it was lag then pretended to not know what she very clearly did and says “OH IT WAS LAG XDD!” Like it was some kind of joke. Then complains how I was annoying her. I get that I’m annoying sometimes, but if someone ever complained about it I would calm down. Here I was just TALKING! She comes over and apologizes “OH SORRY ABOUT THAT XD!” I recite my personal code that I took from a TV show: Rule (I keep forgetting): Never accept an apology from someone who just sucker punched you. Or in my case: Never accept a not even baked apology from someone who just shoved their butt in your face. I get different countries have different lengths where you stand apart from each other but this was, RIGHT, IN. MY. FACE! She laughs at the personal code I live by and continues to bad-mouth me. UGH, I wish people could be kinder or less annoying or somehow in someway have a shred of decency and by polite about it! Sorry about by vent-rant.
yeah, sometimes humans are just annoying little pieces of fuzz. hope you feel better
*huggg*
Aw jeez, roleplayers are kinda mean…
At least, ones I’ve been in (not in blogclan cuz yall are FANTASTIC)
Dont listen to em! Find a different group to rp with! If they fluffing bad mouth ya and annoy ya to check, then get outta there! They ain’t the kind of people you need to associate with! Dont worry about venting! Everyone needs to, even me! (hard to believe when I’m so upbeat bout everything, huh?). Blowing off steam is totally amazing for your mental health! Hope this helped! <333
*hugs*
– Bri who’s doin this as she’s very tired, but helpin cuz YESH
Guys, i feel like i have to vent right now;
So, me and my parents were eating dinner last night, and the topic of LGBTQ+ came up. My dad had said since we were Christians, we don´t support LGBTQ+. But, before I knew that, I supported them because they are people, like me and my parents. I tried to tell them that, but they wouldn´t listen. I want to still be a christian and support the LGBTQ+. Im sorry if this makes some of you mad at me. I just thought someone could help me. I dont know what to do or believe, but i still wanna keep my religion. Please help :[
I’m so sorry, Dove, that must have been a really uncomfortable conversation <3 Though there are some people that use their religion as an excuse to not accept others, many Christians support the LGBTQ+ community! In fact, there are quite a few LGBTQ-friendly churches that function as a sort of sanctuary for queer Christians. I'm no expert on the Bible, so I'd suggest you start doing some research on this topic, but I know one of the core values of Christians is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I know it must be hard to try and follow exactly what the Bible says when some people use it for malicious purposes, but just remember that no matter what race, religion, or sexuality anyone is, they should be treated with respect and shouldn't be pressured to fit into one specific mold. Again, I suggest you start doing some research into pro-LGBTQ Christian values and try and have a mature conversation with your parents about it, if you want <3
Thanks Cheetah, i really appreciate it <3
Aww, i’m so sorry Dove! That’s completely okay. <3 I know the topic of trying to fit religion and LGBTQ+ support together seamlessly can often trip people up. I'm somewhat short on advice, and for that I'm sorry; my surest advice is that what you said in chat a couple days ago should still hold true. If you believe that God said that we should all love one another, then there is seemingly no issue with giving support to the people around you. It's okay to be both a Christian and a support of the LGBTQ+ community, and I'm happy to have you as an ally. <3
Thank you, Viper. I appreciate it <3
<333
I’m sorry you had to deal with that Dove, I’m not religious myself, however being in the LGBTQ community I have actually found out a lot of reasons why people can be Christian and support LGBTQ people via seeing other people debate what the Bible actually says
So from my knowledge, there is one verse in the bible that appears to condemn homosexuality. However, this verse was actually wrongly translated, it was initially meant to be speaking about another issue (which I can’t mention on the blog), but after many years and multiple translations of the Bible it was actually changed in translation. That new version then began to circulate and people thought the Bible condemned that instead of the previous issue it had been speaking on.
Again, I’m not religious but if God says to love everyone, then why should LGBTQ people be excluded from that based on something that they can’t control ? And I think the answer is that it wasn’t always treated like a sin or a bad thing to do. This mistranslation became so commonly accepted as it’s been around for years, that some people take it as a fact that they can’t support LGBTQ+ people
Some Christians are actually LGBTQ+ themselves, so it is ABSOLUTELY something that Christians can support, in fact I’d say in present society it is very common for Christians to support the LGBTQ+ community. I don’t know enough to say that the majority of them do, but my guess would be that it was the majority.
Again what everyone else said is true – absolutely do your own research into pro-LGBTQ Christians and hear their viewpoint on everything, it might really help you. But overall, you can absolutely keep your religion and still be a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community !!!!!
Thank you Maple, i appreciate it <3
You’re welcome, I’m here to talk anytime if you need me <3333
I believe Christians not supporting LGBT+ is due to a simple mistranslation of the bible! You can totally be Christian and support LGBT+ at the same time!
Thanks redblaze 😀
You can totally be Christian and support LGBTQ+ people!
One of my IRL friends is Christian, and she was totally cool when I came out to her as lesbian. 🙂
*hugs*
Play To WinYou can still support LGBTQ+ I’m a christian and I support them, and if you feel like your parents are in the wrong you don’t have to support them, however; don’t be rude to them about it, because they are still your parents.
So, I’ve made posts about this before.
I think I’ve had a crush on one of the girls at my school.
I’ve also had crushes on boys, as well.
I’m not sure if I’m bisexual or not.
Every time I think about it, it makes me feel weird and yucky.
And lonely and ugly. Please help,
hugsssss
You’re not ugly! It really doesn’t matter what sexuality you are.
heya, i totally get where you’re coming from since i felt like that too a few years back. what really helped me was just completely ignoring any labels and doing whatever i wanted, it helped with getting rid of any negative connotations that came with labels that i didn’t like. On the other hand, something else if you would still like to identify under a label – there are other options other than bisexual 🙂 personally i like sapphic or omnisexual, but there’s also pansexual, polysexual, and a lot of others (i’m not familiar with all of them ;P ).
but really, bottom line is find whatever makes you not feel yucky. because this stuff is all for you anyway, so it really shouldn’t matter what everyone is doing.
also although the “lonely and ugly” thing is an absolute mood, it’s absolutely not true. it takes a while to come to terms with this, but prettiness is just a concept. maybe you’re just not your own type, but i assure you you’re beautiful <3 and anyway, you’re an amazing person and there’s so much more to you than what’s on the outside 💕
can’t help you out much with the lonely part tho, i’m also feeling really lonely. i can be lonely with you if that helps? 😛 hugs, love ya Cindy ❤️❤️
Thank u Rainie <33333
i just looked up pan and i think it’s for me
i’ll keep you posted 💖
yayy that’s wonderful, np Cindy 💞
Very unrelated but what is Omnisexual?
it’s where you like all genders, but unlike pansexual where gender doesn’t play a factor in attraction, for omnisexual gender does affect the attraction. uhh if that makes sense 😛
Heya, you are entirely valid if you are LGBTQ+ !!!
Bisexual isn’t the only label for people attracted to boys and girls, there’s omnisexual (attraction to all genders but not genderblind), pansexual (attraction to all genders, often doesnt care about gender) and polysexual (attraction to many but not all genders)
Of course, identify with WHATEVER feels comfortable for you. Identity isn’t something you should force yourself into, it’s a way of expressing yourself. You could even go without labels if you wanted to ! Don’t rush yourself in working this out, figuring sexuality out can take a lot of time and you shouldn’t feel like you HAVE to know for sure now
Awww, I’m sorry you feel this way cinderpaw, you’re not weird, yucky, lonely, or ugly. in fact, your the exact opposite!
Hi guys!!!
Just wanted to give an update that now, thanks to all of you who replied, I know what to do. Thank you to Maple, Cheetah, and Viper <33333
Im gonna still be a christian and support the LGBTQ+ community 😀
So, for everyone part of that community, I fully love and support you <3333
Have a good day 😀
aww you too! <33333
<3333333333
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Play To WinYay!
You’re awesome Dove I’m so glad I could help <333333
I’m so glad! LGBTQ+ 100% appreciates all support possible! Love ya dove! <3333333333333333333
Same, I’m christian but still support them too, 🙂
I’m really happy I could help! and you can talk to me any time if you have anything else you may need help with or if you just need a hug <3
<33333
Hey, y’all- I’m kinda in need of a hug, or advice, or something. I’m just at a loss
[spoiler title=”Not a spoiler, just long”] All of my history and math assignments that I turned in were just marked as zeroes in the grade-book website that my school uses, and first thing this morning when I woke up, my dad started yelling at me about them. He told me that if my grades aren’t up by Christmas break, I’m going to be home-schooled, and that I literally won’t be able to have any contact with my friends/family.
Basically, they’re threatening complete social cutoff if I don’t get it together. They don’t believe a word I say, constantly call me a liar and a failure, and then they mock me when I tell them that the reason I don’t want to come out of my room very often on the weekends is because I feel constantly stressed, anxious, and depressed whenever I’m around them. My mom just forced me out of the living room, telling me she doesn’t even want to look at me and that she doesn’t want to be in the same room as me. I’m sitting in the kitchen and just shaking because I don’t know how much more of this I can handle.
I don’t want to lose my friends any more than I already have. I don’t have a driver’s license, plus my mom broke my phone and slashed my bike tires a few weeks ago, so there’s no way I can contact or visit my friends. The computer I’m currently using is a school computer, so social media sites and instant messaging platforms are all blocked (apart from BlogClan, which went under the radar due to the “.uk” address). The only way I get to see my friends is at school, and I don’t know what I’d do if that was taken away from me. [/spoiler]
Thanks for listening, if you did. I’m sorry to just go on a vent there- I don’t usually open up about a bunch of this stuff. Cookies for all y’all (::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)
*hugs* I’m sorry about how your parents are treating you. Maybe tell them that you’ve tried your hardest, or that you’re feeling stressed. I don’t have much good advice, but I hope things work out <3
Hello, I’m commenting under a name different to my own on here because I want to stay anonymous as I find the following topic embarrassing, but my avatar might show up on this comment anyway because of the email that I use.
Now, let’s get to the problem:
I want a relationship, but not right now because I want to focus on my studies first, I’m not in the right mental state for one and I think that I’m emotionally unavailable.
The thing is that I keep thinking and fantasizing about being in a relationship every evening or night, and now I even sleep with a teddy bear, imagining that I’m cuddling someone who cares about me.
I seem to focus on the good parts of a relationship: the butterflies, joy and caring for one another, but I forget or don’t acknowledge that sometimes relationships aren’t all smooth sailing, especially if it’s a long distance one. Partners argue with each other if they both don’t agree on the same thing sometimes, and that’s healthy for a relationship because it’s better to express your emotions and opinions than to bottle them all up and not let your partner know.
Relationships require a lot of effort, care and trust to work, but I don’t seem to really care about that; I only want the good parts of one, not the rest.
It’s probably because I’ve never been in a relationship before and I’m wondering what’s it’s all like based on what I’ve heard and seen, but I’m afraid this will affect my love life in the future.
I seem to crave someone who shares similar interests to me and loves me for who I am, because everyone around me doesn’t share any of my interests, and I want someone to talk to about the things that I like.
I know that my partner does not have to share all of my interests and the person who shares my interests doesn’t have to be in a relationship with me, because it’s good to have friends who like the same things that I do.
I could look online for people with similar interests in things like music and video games, but I’m too afraid to do that and I have some sort of stigma with and dislike for social media in general.
I’ve joined some societies related to my interests at the place I’m studying at, but with lockdown restrictions where I am, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to go to them and I haven’t gotten any emails about my societies.
Before I wrote this comment, I was watching videos about dating and crushes and I read a comment about having a crush on someone who is ’emotionally unavailable’. I wanted to know what that means so I understand the signs in case I ever have a crush on someone emotionally unavailable, so I watched a video about signs that someone is unavailable emotionally.
Turns out that I didn’t need to look out for the signs in someone else, because I am already displaying all the signs!
I have no idea how to see a situation in someone else’s perspective, and I don’t know how to express my emotions or talk with someone else about them. The reason could be having Autism, but I seem to relate and agree with all of the points.
I know that I’m not ready for a relationship yet and I need to work on myself first, but I feel like I can’t become a better version of myself because I’m stuck in a vicious cycle of positive and negative emotions.
~cringe warning!~
so this past thursday my family’s cat that we had for 12 years passed away and it was yknow… pretty sad. Uh i think tuesday or something when he was really starting to show signs of dying I wrote this poem because usually in poetry club i just sit in the corner and wanted to have something to show at the next meeting
Im open to constructive criticism i suppose idk i just felt like sharing it and you guys are the only ones i trust
There’s this place I can’t enter
Just between my neighbors fence and the fern trees
Me and my polka-dotted pants and striped, stretched, and shaggy shirt
Would walk towards this perfect spot
A place circled in growing green trees- evergreen ones
So in the seasonal summer heat and dead, withering winter
It would always be green- evergreen
And with me would be a cat- my late father’s cat
Apart of a tuxedo trio of cats- all but him were passed
So this tuxedo titled Trotsky would follow me
Into this timeless burrow
Every Sunday morning- like it was some magical meadow
But soon the evergreen branches grew-
And so did the lock around these memories
My legs grew as well and so did my hands
Yet Trotsky only grew thinner, smaller, weaker
To the point where he now lays
Under the trees- the garden wall-
Between this heavenly space
He’s about to go to the timeless burrow
Yet the branches are still too thick for me to enter
Yet somehow I know I Trotsky will
And something tells me it’s still green
Evergreen

Just One HeartbeatOh my god, the poem is so beautiful.
I feel so bad for you. Your cat was very special to you, and that sucks that God had to take it away. But just know that that same cat will always love you, and that you will hopefully see that cat again someday.

Thanks Snowbreeze!
<3 The poem is beautiful, and it honours Trotsky so well.
Sorry for this…
I still need help
I talked to a few christian friends of mine, and they said that if my friends didnt believe in god, then i cant ¨Hang out with them¨ They told me to ¨Step back from them¨ and i cant do that. Im sorry, i know im not following the ¨Dont talk about religion¨ rule, but i just…eh
Please help! Im sorry for dumping my problems on you. ..
I dont wanna abandon my friends!!!
You don’t have to abandon your friends- Jesus tells us to love and accept everyone. <3
I can’t believe they did that. They shouldn’t just kick you out. I’m Christian too, but everyone can have their own opinions.
Just stay away from them and hang out with friends that accept you.
Hugs *times 1000*
Yeah! I choose not to be religious, but my friends still stick by me! If your current friends would kick you out, tell them how it makes you feel, and if they don’t listen, maybe they aren’t the right friends for you.
You can talk about whatever you like here!
If you don’t want to you should I’m no way leave your friend! Does it matter what religion they are as long as they’re a nice person?
Everyone is human, and maybe some of your friends need to look through that. Because, no one needs to abandon their friends if it’ll hurt anyone. Everyone should be excepted, and I know you’ll except everyone 😉
The no talk about religion rule is only for giving advice back to people, so that people don’t get a response of “I’ll pray for you” or something that might not help them if they are atheist
Also I’d say that you shouldn’t abandon your friends – we shouldn’t abandon people and cut off links just because they have a different belief !! The world is full of diverse cultures and different religions and beliefs and if we confine ourselves to just one group of people we’ll never get the chance to see the world from another viewpoint. Everyone is different and just because they don’t believe in God, doesn’t mean you should cut them out of your life
a quickkk correction that its okay to reply that you’re praying for someone or that you’ll keep them in your heart or something like that
it’s mainly stuff like trying to reply that “All you need to do to fix your problems is start believing in [insert god or belief here]! Then you won’t have to worry about that!” to an atheist who’s being criticized for their beliefs. That might not help their problem much and could instead hurt their feelings. ^^
thanks for the correction !! i knew the sort of lines i was going down but couldn’t think of an example other than the one i gave
ily viper
ily toooooooo
Oh same. I’ve been criticized for my religion, my whole fam is Christian, but I don’t believe what my fam believes. So when they tell me: “go watch kid’s church on your iPad,” I go and watch warrior music videos
oh no *hugssss*
you can hang out with who ever you want, whether or not they believe the same things as you.

I know that we don’t know each other, but know that I am here for you and anyone else who needs support.
(I feel like I’m on this page too much)
My dad and I were talking about LGBTQ+ and he said that you can’t control who your attracted to. I got really happy because I thought that meant he supported LGBTQ+ rights. No. He only supports gay and lesbian people. All the other genders and sexualities are made up for attention.
My parents are homophobic,my dad more so. It makes me sad,my cousin is trans,female to male. But he hasn’t been able to fully transition yet. The rest of my family refuse to use his proper pronouns and they get into fights over what gender he is. They think that there are only two genders and sexualities like bi,pan,ace,aro,and every other is fake.
I get uncomfortable when they talk about gender identity and sexuality because I know that I won’t be able to change their minds. If I come out as something other than straight and cis,they’ll be angry. And I still love them,but I don’t agree with their views.
Sorry for this rant,but I had to get it off my chest.
If you don’t agree with their views then that’s fine. You don’t even have to come out to them if you don’t want to.
I’m so sorry, Poppy. I deal with a lot of homophobia at home too, and I know the frustration and the hurt. I don’t really have any advice, but I’m sending hugs your way. <3
I totally understand! My best friends are LGBTQ+ and I have considered being gender fluid myself! I also have a different religion than my parents so I feel uncomfortable as well, maybe you should talk to them about it, I can guarantee it will make it easier!
I’m sorry – that sounds tough. 🙁 I don’t have advice, but just know that we’re here for you . . . sending bunches of love and support! <333 *hugs*
