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

unfortunately the next day wasn’t that much better as the issues that were stressing me out the previous day were still going on
I’m sorry. Take some deep breaths, give yourself time to do an activity that you enjoy (like reading or so), and I hope the issues get resolved soon <33

I’m glad, just take some time for yourself to relax and enjoy your hobbies <3
I feel really down because everyone is teasing/making jokes about Bluestar. Could I get some hugs?
*hugs* I love Bluestar 😀 I think she is well written and a cool character :]
*hugs*
Bluestar is one of my favorite cats 😮
Maybe just ignore them? Sorry for my bad advice
*Hugs*
*hugs*
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m positive a lot of people here love Bluestar too that you could talk to, but it’s hard when people don’t like a character you like
*More hugs*
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
*hugs*
*Hugs* <3
Thx
*hugs*
*hugs* I know how it feels when people are hating on your favorite warrior cat. Just ignore them.
*hugs* And I love Bluestar, actually! She’s an awesome character.
*hugs* *hugs*
Sorry if that person was me 😔 I promise I meant no harm, and that Bluestar is very developed and interesting
*Hugs* 💙💙💙
Maybe writing a Bluestar defense article would help you feel better! 🙂 <3
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
Bluestar is the best and her death is one of the reasons I have not read past TPB.
*Hugs* I literally love Bluestar, she’s awesome in my opinion! But don’t listen to what others think, only your opinion matters when it comes to your feelings! <3
*hugs*
Somebody please tell me that Highschool is a joke that teachers and parents use and Highschool does not actually exist. . I am going to go hug a warrior cat book now
High school experience is different for everyone. Go into it with a positive mindset and your experience will likely be a good one 🙂
Sending many hugs ♥️
Hugs
*Hugs* 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
*hugs* I can’t offer any advice since it’s gonna be two years until I go to highschool, but I’m sure high-school isn’t as bad as movies and people make it out to be.
*hugs* what pilot said
Well, like Embix said, the high school experience is different for everyone. If it helps, though, Hollywood really exaggerates it, a lot 😛 As long as you do your work, you should be all good <3
*hugs*
*Hugs*
*hugs*
I unintentionally did a bad thing at school because I was too mad (hope it’s vague enough) and I feel very guilty and regret it. I also cried because of that event. I’m so embarrassed for crying right now, and I hope no one blames me. Hugs please?
Sending many hugs ♥️
*hugs*
❤ *hugs* ❤
Don’t worry — anger is natural. As long as you learn from your mistakes, it will be fine! If any one asks you why you cried or makes fun of you for crying, tell them that it is because you are a human and not a robot.
*Hugs* 💖💙💖💖💙💙
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
*hugs*
*hugs* It’s okay Schorchy, crying is normal, and what you did is in the past, it doesn’t matter as long as you get past it and reassure yourself that it was only your feelings that got a hold. <3
*hugs*
i can strongly relate – ive been in that situation more times than i can ever count.
and always remember that it’s ok to cry too sometimes 🙂
*sends over many hugs*
*hugs*

*hugs* *hugs* C:
I could really use some hugs… One of my close friends and I are working on a project and I feel like she’s trying to make it all about her, while telling me that I always want to make it about me (which I don’t). She’s kind of putting me down and we’ve been arguing, but we’ve been friends for a while… I don’t really know what to do.
(Sorry if this is too detailed)
Sending many hugs ♥️
Maybe pull her aside or text her, and tell her that you really don’t appreciate what she’s doing. Divide up the work better and stuff if that’s the problem, and just regroup and reset
*Hugs* 💛💜💛💜💛💜
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
*hugs* Maybe tell her about how you feel and get things smoothened out. I hope your friendship stays strong. <3
*hugs*
I don’t really have any advice, but *hugs*

I saw this lady setting up her business about half a year ago. She looked so happy, like she had finally fulfilled her dream. She seemed so confident that it would be successful, because it was indeed a great idea – a corndog restaurant! But just a few days ago, I saw the same lady at her corndog place, looking heartbroken. She took down the sign with the name of the restaurant and flipped her open sign to closed. I never went. Now I feel so incredibly bad because if I had pitched in, I could’ve helped this woman make a living and start her dream business. I would love a hug – and I’m sure she would too. <3
*hugs*
Guilt is a horrible thing. Im sorry to hear about that business, but it wasn’t your fault. Even if you had gone, there’s no way to know if your contribution would’ve helped her stay in business.
Sending hugs to you and the lady ♥️
If isn’t your fault Free ♥️ Unfortunately, inflation, rising cost of living and COVID have made it hard for small businesses to stay afloat.
*Hugs for you and the lady*
🧡🧡🧡
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
That’s so sad, but maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. *hugs* I wish her the best.
*hugs*
hopefully the lady will soon find another way to earn her money
I’m so sorry *hugs to both of you*
*hugs tightly* I’m sorry, Free. I want to tell you that it’s not your fault – like Osprue said, inflation and the COVID-19 lockdown have caused many local/small businesses to not make it, sadly. <3
*Hugs for you and that lady* <3
*hugs*
TW: Death
Last night, one of my favourite content creators with over 10 million subscribers, sent out a video with a script read by his father, talking about how he was dead now and he thanked his fanbase for the memories.
He inspired me to start gaming, which is one of my favourite things to do nowadays. He was a massive inspiration to so many people. He was amazing at Minecraft, and even better at making his viewers laugh and smile with him.
Rest in peace, Technoblade. Legends never die, they live on in our hearts.
*hugs*
*Hugs* 💜
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
*hugs* i heard about that too… It was sad. Rest in peace technoblade. He will always be remembered by those who loved and supported him
Sending many hugs to you, Techno’s family, and each and every one of his fans around the world <3
Rest In Peace Technoblade
I’m gonna miss him, he was one of my favorite content creators and was a huge part of my childhood. Rest in peace Technoblade.
*hugs*
I heard. I didn’t watch a ton of his videos (he didn’t get recommended to me often and I usually watch whatever is in my recommended), but from what I saw, he had a great personality and good content. Long live the king.
*hugs*
I heard about him too! Even though I never watched him, it was still sad. RIP Technoblade
*hugs*
*Hugs*
*hugs*
*Hugs*
Rest in peace Technoblade
I hope we will find a cure to cancer, so that other innocent people won’t die
just found out technoblade has died. i never watched his videos or knew much about him, but he died too young. r.i.p technoblade :[
*Hugs*
May he Rest In Peace ❤️
We Don’t Talk About Bruno
RIP Technoblade <3
I loved his content and his personality, I’m really gonna miss him and my heart is just broken. Rest in peace Technoblade, you meant a lot to the YT community and your friends and family.
*hugs*
Rest in peace, Techno <3
R.I.P Technoblade
i heard the soundtrack to a roblox game me and a former friend used to play and got very nostalgic and sad. i miss when we used to be able to talk for hours, but i just don’t have the same feelings anymore, and we never text anymore (pretty much our only form of communication). i miss them still, but i think it’s time for me to move on.
*hugs* It’s okay Clow, sometimes we all grow apart and if we don’t let go, it ends up eating away at our mental health. I think it’s best to let go and make new friends. <3
have a hug!
*hugs* <3
*hugs* I’m sorry, I know how it feels to drift away from friends over time. I’m sorry.

Nothing bad, it’s just a little thing, but sorta feel like I’m not doing enough or like when I try to do something it always fails.
I also feel like I might be being annoying While I’m trying to get people to like me…
Can I have some hugs pls?
*hugs* Your amazing Misty, and I’m sure that people can see your trying your best to help. It’s okay if everything isn’t perfect all the time, we’re human and mistakes are made, so don’t feel like your the only one who feels as though you failed or are annoying, because everyone feels that way sometimes, even the people who you may be trying to get to like you. <3
have a hug 🙂
You are absolutely amazing Misty <3

My parents just told me and my sister that they got divorced.
Snowbreeze, I’m so so sorry. Just know that it wasn’t at all you or your sisters fault and it never was. Sometimes relationships just don’t work out, and parents may try for their kids, but it’s just hard. I hope that your bond with your parents still stands strong though and that you don’t hold anything against them. Once again, I’m so sorry. I hope your gonna be okay *hugs*
Thank you, Pilot. This made me feel better. ❤️❤️
I’m glad I could help Snow 💝
Sending many hugs <33
I am so, incredibly sorry, Snow <3
I am so sorry <3 <3
Sending many hugs your way
*hugs* I’m sorry, Snowy.
*so many millions of hugs*
it’s not your fault! I’m sure you’re a great child – sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that’s hard, but what’s important is that you still love both your parents and I know they love you. <3
Thank you, Free. ❤️
love you <3
I’m so sorry! Here, take all my hugs
