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
I kinda just need to rant and maybe need some advice? There’s this girl I dance with who I was friends with a while ago but we haven’t hung out in years. We didn’t end on bad terms but just kinda grew apart. Anyways it’s happened a bunch of times where she asks me where I got a leotard or a top or a skirt and then at class the next week she shows up wearing it- and I’m wearing it too bc she almost always asks about my favorite dance clothes. This makes me mad bc I just really don’t like her copying me. I also don’t like having to not wear my favorite clothes bc I don’t want to match with her.
This all probably sounds a little petty but it’s been going on for years and I just don’t like it. I also don’t want to just gatekeep where I got my clothes bc then I seem like a jerk, but I’m sick of us looking identical in dance classes. And the problem isn’t that she’s wearing the same clothes as me, but that she always seems to get them after she saw me wearing them. I just don’t like the fact that she always seems to copy me during dance, especially cause that’s a space where I like to feel I can express myself.
(reading this back it sounds really selfish and mean, but I can’t think of a better way to phrase it and it’s happened too many times for it to be a coincidence or for me to continue pretending I doesn’t happen) (also hi I haven’t been here for a while)
I’m sure this girl really has an interest in your style and may look up to you in a way. Just think of it more as a compliment. And if you really hate it, then maybe next time she asks you just tell her a random store instead of the exact place you got it. *hugs* I hope it gets better.
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
Don’t worry! She’s probably not trying to copy you, she just looks up to you! Next time she asks, try telling her how you feel about it and how you’d prefer if she didn’t.
I don’t think she’s trying to make you feel bad at all. In fact, it looks to me like she really looks up to you and likes your style of clothing. However, I do recommend talking to her calmly if she continues.
*hugs*
As others said, she probably likes your style, or maybe she’s trying to become friends with you again! (My friend always asks me where I get stuff from, then buys it and wears it and it’s really awkward when I’m wearing it as well, so I get where you’re coming from)
Maybe after dance practice one day if you have time, sit down with her, and look at the online stores of some of your favourite dance shops, and talk to her about favourite leotards, and favourite skirts, and come with some combinations that you like and ask her what she likes 🙂
(Sorry if this is bad advice I have minimal fashion taste and I haven’t done dance for about 7 years)
*Hugs*
*hugs*
ah i know how annoying this can be my sister used to always copy whatever i was interested in. I think if she asks you again you could just say that oh i got it from somewhere at (dont say the exact store just like the shopping centre or whatever) and then just say you forgot where or sotheing idk
I’ve been feeling really down lately 🙁
*extreme hugs*
*hugs*
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSS

I know I’m still really new to BlogClan, but I’ve been feeling really emotional lately- for the past couple weeks. It feels like some people IRL are being harsher and more judgmental towards me. And does anyone have any advice for headaches? – I’ve also been getting headaches almost daily since the weather where I live is getting really hot. Hugs?
*hugs 10000000000000000*
I’m so sorry Maple Syrup <3 I had no idea you were going through this. Remember you are amazing and I hope you feel better <333333333
Thanks <333333
Aww, I’m so sorry Maple. And remember to stay hydrated over the summer, dehydration can cause headaches. *hugs*
*hugs*
ps: staying hydrated and taking the occasional painkiller if necessary usually helps me with headaches in summer
*Hugs* <3
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs**hugs* *hugs*
Don’t worry, if you’re new then you can still ask for hugs! Whoever you are, you need hugs sometimes!
If people are being more harsh and judgmental, try to ignore them. They’re wrong and they shouldn’t be being like that to you. Maybe try telling them how you feel or that they should be a little less harsh?
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
*hugs* I’m really sorry!! And I’m sorry if I’ve been judgy or harsh, I promise I don’t mean to :(((((
Also for headaches – they’re probably from dehydration so just drink lots of water
*hugs*
Cookies for you (they’re free obvs!!) 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
And a penguin: 🐧
Thank you!! (And yum because cookies are great, except for when they have three cups of sugar in them)
and when they’re mixed poorly 😛
Yes.. I tried to eat the other cookie I bought and that one was too sweet as well
*hugs* I’m so sorry. And go drink some water- it’s the most common cause of headaches during the summer. And take some painkillers as well, if that doesn’t work. *hugs*
*Hugs*
Drinking water definitely helps a lot with headaches!
Sending hugs <3
Talk to someone irl about how you feel about the people, maybe? And I don't haver any headache advice, sorry 🙁
*hugs*
Maybe drink more water?
*hugs*
For headaches I would recommend to drink a lot of water, and lay down for a bit. I hope they stop being harsh!
It’s THAT time of month, and I have a waterpark/beach trip this weekend…. Hugs and advice?
*hug* and just have fun :>
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
Just remember to have fun! If you start getting down, remember that you’ll have fun and everything will be okay!
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
*Hugs* That happened to me too back in April when my family and I road-tripped down to a beach for the week. All I can say is that you can’t control when things happen, so have as much fun as you can, and make the most of what you can do! 🙂
*hugs* I’m so sorry, that happens to me all the time (I’m quite the unlucky cat :P) Hopefully, it ends before the weekend, and you’ll be able to have a worry-free trip. If not, maybe try some washable underwear. They make some specifically for that time of month. If you can find a pair that ships before the trip, you won’t have anything to worry about!
If all else fails, just try to have fun! You can still get your feet wet, or build a sandcastle, or look for seashells, even if you can’t get in the water!
*hugs*
Hopefully it will end before you go to the beach! I know there is swimwear you can buy for that sort of thing, so maybe go for a quick shop and buy some? If not, like Captain said, maybe just tell someone you’re going with, and have a chat with them on the shore, eat some chips, judge the seagulls, build a sandcastle, dig a large hole and sit in it, bring a volleyball or a cricket/baseball bat and do some sport on the beach if THAT doesn’t get in the way. Have fun <3
*hugs* Don’t worry, bleeding usually stops when your in water but just remember to wear your pad <3 I can also relate since I'm supposed to go swimming in a lake with some friends
*Hugs* I’m so sorry, that sucks! Just try your best to enjoy yourself anyway! *Hugs* <3
*hugs*
*hugs*
I can’t give any advice, but some other Blogclanners probably can!
here have hugs
i just got 11/21 on a science test :(((((((( HUGS and do you guys think i should stay on blogclan im only on the 4 book in the 1 seris and everybody else is SO much farther than me hug??? should I leave blogclan
<3 *hugs* *Hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
It's all right! You did your best, and that's all that matters. And you don't have to be ahead to be a part of BlogClan. If there are going to be spoilers, they'll either be contained on Spoiler Pages, articles, or have a spoiler warning. If you want to avoid spoilers, you can do that! But if you don't want to stay, that's completely up to you. If you feel it would be best for you, that's okay! No hard feelings!
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
Oh, I’m sorry Ocean. I’m not the sharpest claw on the cat when it comes to tests either. Of course you should stay on! We don’t talk about the books that much, so you should be pretty safe 😉 *hugs tightly*
*Hugs* It’s okay- a couple of years back I got 52% on a final exam, so I’ve been there before! Just remember that as motivation to do better next time, rather than letting it hold you down and that you can’t change what’s in the past. And don’t leave BlogClan! I’m super new and I’m only a couple of series into the books but Ivypaw and Wildpaw encouraged me to join BlogClan! I still feel like I’m way farther behind than so many people but I’m doing what I can and powering through the books! *Hugs hugs*
*Hugs* It’s okay, I know you did your best <3 And you're always welcome on BlogClan, no matter what book you're on! We don't even really talk about the books anyway 😛
*hugs* It’s alright! I recently got 56% on my final exam. The most important thing is that you know what you did wrong on your test rather than the actual mark itself. Sometimes people have bad days or they made small mistakes, and that’s okay! Mistakes are part of growth, and it’s better to make mistakes now and learn from them then to get everything perfect and then make a mistake later in life when it’ll cost you.
I think you should definitely stay on the blog! You don’t really have to know anything about Warriors’s characters or plot, just the world 🙂 You might want to avoid spoiler/discussion pages and articles though. If you really do want to leave the blog, then go ahead. It’s completely up to you, and I don’t want to force/pressure you into something you don’t want to do.
*hugs* Wishing you the best! <33
*hugs*
What matters is you did your best <3
And yes, you should stay on BlogClan! Some people on here don't even read the books! You can enjoy the community, regardless of where you are at <3 If you want to leave as well, that's fine too <3 do whatever is best for you
oh believe me-people would celebrate when they got less than 10 wrong the tests were so hard. Don’t worry! You did your best. And you should be safe from spoilers. only spoilers pages and articles with spoiler warnings contain them. And you don’t have to be super familiar with warriors to be a member of blogclan.
*hugs and cookies because who doesn’t like cookies🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪*
*hugs* The blog is for everyone! No matter how far in the series you may be, it doesn’t matter! Just do whatever you feel you need to do <3
*Hugs*
You’re always welcome here! 😀 And we’d love to discuss the original series with you, as well as so many topics unrelated to Warriors!
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs*
Marks don’t define you. Even if you got 0/21, you would still be an amazing and kind person <3
And for spoilers, dw! I joined BlogClan (well, not really JOINED, more like stalked :P) before I read all the books. Don't feel pressured to stay either but the Blog is more of a chatting kind of website. Plenty of people who haven't read Warriors are part of the Blog <3
*hugs* It’s okay, everyone messes up, but as long as you did your best, that’s all that matters! As for BlogClan, you don’t have to read all the books to stay on here! Honestly except for articles, we don’t talk about the books that much. You can still chat with us and play games!
*Hugs* It’s ok, Ocean! I’m sure you tried your best! <3 *Hugs* Spoilers for the books should mostly be on spoiler pages and spoiler warnings are typically put on regular comments as well so you should be able to avoid spoilers! You don't have to leave BlogClan, but if you do feel like you need to leave, that's completely okay! <3 *Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs* <333
*hugs*
all that matters is that you tried your best 🙂
*hugs*
You did your hardest on the test, and that’s what counts! You should definetly not leave Blogclan! It is for everyone no matter how far they have read in the series!
Help! I lost my best friend to a guy! 😭😭😭😭😭
I feel you Cherry. I don’t really have any advice, but I hope your friend comes back to you.
Not sure what you mean but we’re here for you.
*Hugs* I hope your friend comes back to you. I’ve lost friends to other friends, but even though I haven’t had the same experience, I feel you, and it sucks, but you don’t deserve that! <333 *Hugs*
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
That stinks, I’m really sorry *hugs*
*hugs* Hope you’re fine <3
Sorry that I don't have any advice <3
I’m really sorry Cherry! I’ve lost friends before and it’s the worst. I hop you’re friend decides you’re the better friend and comes back!
*hugs*
Same, both of my best friends/at school daughters 😭 they grow up so fast 😛
*Hugs*
*hugs*
*Hugs* I’m so sorry, that sucks. *Hugs* <3
*hugs*
That sucks, I know how it feel to have a friend be so worked up about someone else that that they stop being the friend you know.
I just got my legs & arms waxed yesterday, and they hurt a LOT. hugs?
*hugs* from what I’ve heard, they hurt a lot. I hope you feel better.
*Hugs* Ouch, from what people have told me it’s quite uncomfortable. Hope you feel better soon!
*Hugs* <333
YOUCH! Don’t worry, I understand the pain because I got my pits waxed and they bled 😭😭 (tmi tho, sorry :P)
*hugs* <3
*hugs*
Yikes… I’m sorry! *hugs*
*Hugs*
♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
Love Is LoveI am still here but it’s hard, I wish I could get a real solution to my problems.
A lot of people believe that overcoming mental hurdles, pulling ourselves out of deep pits, and “fixing” what we think or what we’re told is wrong with us is easy. We think, “This should be simple. Why can’t I do it? Am I that incompetent that I can’t do this one thing that everyone else has done?” In reality, it’s anything but easy. Many people struggle immensely to even make a decision to try and move forward because it feels so hard and there are so many setbacks that make us feel like the effort isn’t worth it, especially when we can’t even tell what the supposed reward even looks like. Far too many are overwhelmed by that hopelessness and act in a manner that they think will end this feeling of drifting downwards through limbo.
For what it’s worth, I’m glad that you are still here and I know your friends on BlogClan would also be glad. They may not be happy to hear that you’ve been struggling greatly with your mental health, but they will understand. They don’t hate you, and you do not deserve hatred. Hatred doesn’t make things easier. It makes things more difficult because it blocks people who do want you to be happy and want to help you be happy. There are people who love you and care about you, and they want to help you in any way that they can. You’re not alone.
It’s hard right now, and that is okay. That is normal. It’s hard for a lot of people. It doesn’t mean that you’re incompetent or that you’re weak. If anything, you still being here shows that you’re strong to have made it this far on your own. Real solutions may seem like they’re just a figment of someone’s imagination, but they do exist and you will find the ones that work for you, and you will have people with you who understand that things are hard and they will support you throughout it all <3
Thank you Embix ❤️
^^ What Embix said <3
*Hugs* ❤️❤️❤️
Love Is LoveSending many hugs <3
*many bear hugs*
*hugs* Maybe talking to someone about your problems should help, Dawny. I wish you the best. <3
My stick insect passed away recently and I really miss my dog, who is currently with my dad. There’s those two girls at my school who annoys the heck out of me and my parents have been lecturing me for twelve minutes at a time on being disorganized. It’s been a bit stressful lately … Advice or anything … ?
Sending many hugs <3
Sorry that I don't have much advice
here have hugs :))
im really not sure on advice for being more organised as i think im the most disorganised person i know. I’m sorry about the stick insect :(( stick insects are cool. I’m not very good at advice sorry.
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs* I’m sure you’ll see your dog soon, and you being their owner they must be constantly thinking about you so I bet they’ll be super excited when you show up. And I understand, sometimes people are super annoying and you just gotta ignore them and show them your unbothered so they’ll hopefully get bored and move on. And just tell your parents your already really stressed and that you’ll try your best to get organized cuz you don’t deserve that. <3
I had this weird and honestly scary dream that everyone was going crazy here and like spamming, sending weird links, sending out their real names, hacking mods accounts, finding out emails and I know that could never happen because this is a safe place and all of you guys are awesome and would never do that, but it kind of shook me. I know that’s kind of stupid, but may I please have a hug? Thank you <3
It’s not stupid if it unsettled you like this <3 We'll make sure it doesn't happen and that BlogClan remains a safe environment <3
<3 thank you embix, you're the best
*Hugs* 💛💛💛
Love Is Love*hugs*
ah here have hug
i had a dream the othe rnight when i was on holiday where this clicking sound summoned this elongated guy with a baseball bat and a creepy mask and he just thwacked someone, who went flying at me. i then woke up at three am and heard the noise again irl. i couldnt get back to sleep and kept hearing the noise.
dreams can be really confusing and scary, its not stupid, i’ve had dreams that have nothing even remotely scary that creeped me out.
*Hugs* <3
*hugs*
It’s ok to be scared by dreams <3 I get scared by dreams that I have, once to the point where I got terrified at the sight of a turkey because I had a dream that a turkey landed on my face with it's sharp talons
Dreams are strange things, and I hope you're fine
*hugs*
*bear hugs*
*hugs* Don’t worry Free, luckily it was a dream and the mods will keep that from happening. <3
I had a really scary dream last night and I’m kind of nervous now.
*Hugs* ♥️♥️♥️
Love Is LoveI have definitely been there… *hugs*
ah same here have hugs
*Hugs* I’ve been there too
I’m sorry, I know how scary dreams can be unsettling. *hugs*
Sending hugs <3
*hugs*
if you can, try and find out the trigger of the dream so that you can avoid whatever that trigger was in the future (in my experience every dream, good or bad, has a trigger of some sort)
*hugs* Try not to think about it, it was only a dream <3
Two of my friends got COVID and I was exposed, so now plans to see people and celebrate graduation are cancelled.
I’m sorry to hear all that happened, Brambleheart <3
(Also, a soft reminder that we are no longer allowing detailed posts on the Hug Page. There are some exceptions here and there if they're fairly inconsequential, but for the most part, we'd rather only have more vague requests for hugs. This page is for hugging, not for venting ^^)
*hugs*
*Hugs* I’m sorry that that happened <3
I’m super sorry, Sorceress *many, many hugs*
*Hugs* <3
*hugs* That sucks Brambleheart, I’m so sorry. I hope your didn’t get sick and your friends get better too. <3
A lot of us getting visited by the nightmare monster, huh? Sooooo I’m on vacation right now and I had a dream about my siblings and dad sorta XPing and we’re on vacation with our family friends and all the girls are sleeping in the same room and I did something REEEAAALLL embarrassing when I woke up and yeah :p And in short, hugs would be appreciated 🤗
*Hugs*
