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
Hey, random question……also, you guys are my homies. heh….or not, whatever you want. er….yeah
Am.
I.
Annoying?
Hehe….I mean a LOT of 6th graders are annoying, but i never thought of myself being annoying…i can be annoying when im hyper, but isnt everyone? i feel like if people think im annoying, then they wont like me. hmph. o_o
~Becca
No! You are definitely not annoying. 🙂
No you aren’t annoying we might all be a little annoying 😛
Dawnlily, you’re not annoying 🙂
We all just feel that way sometimes.
And I can be very annoying. 😀 😀 That’s just the way it is.
Thanks guys. 🙂
Nope. It’s just unique personality quirks you’re talking about – and everyone’s been annoying at least ten times in their lifetimes.
If people think you’re annoying, they should tell you straight out.
Nope! 🙂
You’re not annoying 🙂
Everyone had been annoying at some point in their life. But you don’t seem annoying overall. Don’t worry about it 😛
You are not annoying at all! 😀
(I am SO annoying when I am hyper or excited too, XDD, everyone is)
No silly! Your not annoying *Huggles*
You are most certainly NOT annoying 🙂
I don’t think you’re annoying! There are always going to be annoying people in your life, and just because most people around you act a certain way does not mean that you do too.
Alright I need some help
I’ve been assigned to do a presentation on my nonfiction book report either tomorrow or Friday, and we had to finish it AND practice it tonight so it’ll be perfect, and I am SO not done. I’m panicking and procrastinating and at this rate I’ll get no sleep.
Help.
It’s okay. The important thing is not to panic.
-hugs- Do the report on Friday, so you will have more time to prepare. Make sure you go easy on yourself. Sorry I don’t have more advice to you, but good luck! 😀
DARN! I hate it when that happens 🙁 ! But Sorry, I have no advice, only to get some rest. And to hope for the best ) :hugs: 😀
Oh my gosh, no! I’m sorry >.<
-hugs- first off, stop procrastinating. it's not EVER going to help you in the long run, and I have spent many a night procrastinating (i've done schoolwork for a later class in an earlier class, and there were many questioning stares)
You're going to be fine. For presentations, what I do is gather up a few notes, (not write an entire speech) and I just go with the flow and speech. Or I memorize some notes and talk about it that way. Some people need an entire written-out thing, so I don't know if that's how you are, I'm just giving you what works for me.
I'm hoping it's Friday, so you can get an extra day of practice! <33 -whispers- happyclanniversary we love u waves
Thanks Dap <3
I was like that last night with all this work piled on top of me, but I mostly got through it okay, and I know the night is already over, so Huggles, and I’m sure you did fine!!! *Huggles*
well. you can help by not commenting :p *enters teacher mode* but good luck!
That’s true. *hangs head* 😛
Ok. Take a deep breath, and assess everything you need to do. If it helps, make a plan of every part of the presentation, and get as much done as you can. If it seems like you can’t finish, try emailing your teacher about possible doing it the following week. *hugs*
I’m so sorry Wavey! Try to calm down, and . . . and listen to other people’s advice. Sorry, but I have nothing else to say but, You can do it! Good luck! *Huggles*
Also, happy Clanlanniversary! We all love you, it’s impossible not to. 🙂
Aw, thanks so much Snowy <3 that's so sweet! 🙂
Thanks so much guys <3
I hope it went well! 🙂
Guys, I’m so sad. I got this cat, Snowflake, when I was seven, but now my Mom says we have to take her to the shelter. She’s a little bit of a mean cat, but she’s my little baby. At least we can get a new cat, but it won’t be the same. 🙁 🙁
Tuats soooooooo sad that happened to me once, it was terrible…
*thats
That sucks 🙁 -hugs- Have you tried telling your mom how special she is to you?
I’m so sorry, Jaypaw *hugs*
I’m so sorry! I have nothing to say but, I’m sorry. *Hugs*
Aww, I’m so sorry! Maybe you can volunteer at the shelter and see Snowflake then? *huggles* 🙂
Aww I’m sorry!!!! *Huggles* 🍪🍪🎈
For those who are feeling down, here’s a song:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=76WJJ57YoG0
Okay, so not really about me, but about my sister.
I have an older sister that lives 12 hours away. She goes to a college in that state, and has friends and stuff. Well, last night she called my dad and she was sobbing. I was cleaning the bathroom and I just heard her crying and talking. And so I listened to their conversation (oops) and I found out that a close friend of hers had just made a suicide attempt. My sister went on to explain that her friend was in the car when it happened and that only her immediate friends knew about it.
My dad told her to call her friend’s mom and get her into therapy, but I know my sister and she more than likely won’t listen and try to solve this herself. Please pray for her and her friend, I guess. I’m really worried. Thanks 🙂
That actually made me tear up. Ill pray for your sister and her friend I hope her friend is safe and is not injured
D’: this literally is making me cry… :’o 🙁 🙁 🙁 I hope all goes well
Oh my gosh, I hope your sister’s friend is alright. *hugs*
I feel so bad for you, your sister, and her friend. I don’t really have any advise, I’m so sorry about that. *Sends a hug In a package*
Oh no, I’m so sorry! I hope your sister and her friend are okay and her friend gets better. I can’t offer any advice, just hugs. *huggles*
I’m sorry Dapple 🙁 We will all pray for her and wish she will get better.
Oh my!!! *Huggles* I really hope your sisters friend doesn’t try that again!!! 🍪
Oh no! I hope her friend is okay!
Random song:https://youtu.be/nfWlot6h_JM
Im so sorry that happened, dappled.
I just cant take it anymore!! I just… ugh! Okay so mini (might be big) rant (all this happened in the last 2 months!) I feel like im depressed I haven’t smiled for weeks the only time I did was whe on they way back from one of our bball gmes, our whole bball team sung along to “Closer” it was hilarious! . (Slight Spoiler for Forest Of Secrets)
I just can’t take life anymore! So many bad things my cat ad a litter of kittens last night and they didn’t make it, my cousin, got into a terrible car accident tuat damaged his brain and himself for the rest of his life, my great grandma just died, my mom is missing, my friend moved away, what made me burst to write this is when just now, I saw three cats get killed by this stray dog (he has bit me multiple times in these 2 months and that means also chasing) my cat’s mate was one of them, and he looks like he feels like what Graystripe felt when Silverstream died. Oh and im constantly getting teased of uaving a mustache and Unibrow…. I might be seriously thinking to quit blogclan after Cadvent I dont know I should be merry and happy, but its just too hard :'( :'( :'(
Oh, Snowheart. Please don’t quit BlogClan. We love having you here. You’re such a happy, imaginative and generous presence. We would miss you. You are having a hard time in real life. Let BlogClan be the happy place you come to get away from it. I’m sorry about the unpleasantness that broke out over your name generators. I should have kept a closer eye on the comments and stepped in earlier. Pease don’t feel bad. As far as I’m concerned, you can make as many Christmas generators as you like. It is totally in the spirit of Cadvent. We love Christmas here. We love Hanakkah and Kwanza too. That goes without saying because we love anything that brings joy, peace and happiness to the world. Which is why we value you, Snowheart. Keep sharing your joys and sorrow here. You help make BlogClan a lovely place to be ❤️
Thanks Kate, I won’t quit 🙂
Hurray! 😀 Happy Advent!
I’m so sorry you feel that way Snow. Sometimes I feel that way too, even though I smile and use exclamation points like crazy 😛 Anyways, we need the bad times to know when the good times are! I really hope you stick around for the good times on BlogClan. We love you for who you are: beautiful, pietastic, and sweet!!!!!!!! *huggles* *offers pie flavored pies* <3 (Sorry if my advice is bad, I tried my best)
Thanks, I won’t quit blogclan. The only reason I was considering quitting is that Blogclan, (which is toooo awesome to keep away from) its distracting me from the things I NEED to do like, help find my mom, b y searching for clues and my work but now I realize, Blogclan is helping me get through these tough times, thanks to Blogclan, I learned, during hard times, ALWAYS keep on the positive side. Now I have hope for things to turn around and that one of these days, EVERYTHING bad, will change. Into good things I believe that ill find my mom now (I have a feeling we’re close to finding her!). (I know it sounds cheesy XD) Thanks Blogclan for helping me. ~Snowheart♥♡♥♡
Oh no, I’m sorry!!! I’m sorry that all these things in life are coming together to create horribleness, please don’t quit! *Huggles* I really hope things get better for you, and we will always be here if you need to talk. 🍪🍪🍪
I’m so sorry I can’t imagine how that must feel!😥 I wish there was something I could do or advice that I could give but there isn’t. Please don’t quit BlogClan we love you here!
Yikes, I’m so sorry! I don’t have much experience with depression, but focus on things that make you happy. Laughter is great too. 🙂

Hey guys, I get so irritated when you are reading a fanfic and a teacher makes you put it away because it’s not a “proper” “published” book. The other day I was reading fan fiction during MLT because I had finished all of my homework and we were supposed to read when we were done. So, whenever u read I get really into the book and notice pretty much nothing else. So according to my friends who were in my class, the teacher was reading it over my shoulder. The very next day, a sign goes up that says during any form of reading time, you have to be reading a “published” book. Since I had no other books to read, I went to find an online book. As I was scrolling through the options of read that and not interested, my teacher came over and told me to get out my book. I explained the situation to him and he just went and got the most boring thing ever. An upfront magazine. So, the rest of MLT I was stuck reading and re-reading that same magazine over and over again(I’m a pretty fast reader and those magazines were pretty short) so after a while, I just sat there and stared a page for a while just looking at the pictures. When my teacher came over and yelled at me I practically started crying.(I don’t know why but I just can’t handle people yelling at me)😧😫😳I don’t get why fan fiction is not an acceptable reading material! So many fanfics are every bit as good as regular published books!! Do you guys agree with me?! (Sorry for the rant guys)🦄
IKR my teacher banned me from reading warriors and Fanfiction! (She says they are not written properly) sorry if you are offended kate its my used-to-be teachers opinion I think WARRIORZ IS AMAZCAT
Me:*reading Fanfiction and warriors* (on free time)
Teacher:*ahem*
Me looks at her like she is gonna kill me
Teacher: let me see the book until the end of the day im going to see if it
Me:uhhh… its my book so….
Teacher: GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
Me:Why should I? Its mine. (Isn’t it against the law to look into students back packs?)
Teacher:grabs my arm, rips the books out of my hands and says, OFFICE NOW!
Me: *thinks* Fine
End of the day
Teacher: these books are improperly written ‘and erin hunter is a terrible writer’ 🙁 (dont worry you’re an amazing writer/s) (many people’s favorite) and I forbid you to read them, at SCHOOL AND AT HOME
Me: you have no conrol of me at my house and dont talk about the erins that way! *face red* Xd (I hate it when she talks about you guys like that)
Teacher:well I can talk to your parents
Parents-i think warriors is perfectly fine
Me-(I literally said this: ‘BOO YAAA’ (But she still didn’t let me read them at school 🙁 )
Good news is, im homescooled now 😛 and I absolutely HATED my teacher ever since the first time she said that, geez she should be fired! And the erins are PERFECT writers am I not right?
And the books are very properly written, I don’t know what she was talking about!
The funny thingnis, is that I introduced Warriors to the School 🙂 bjt the bad ting is, is that my used-to-be freinds redpaw and foxpaw got through 1 quarter of the first book and think they are experts they are definitely not. I have read every single book in the warriors series (except the new series thats being written)(I hve only read the first book invthe new series)(I like to start when its finished because im a super fast reader) and my friends try to copy my knowledge of Warriors, but they have NO iidea what im talking about! Anyway im done 😛
That seriously sucks! There is nothing wrong with Warriors or fanfictions, they are perfectly acceptable and fun to read. *huggles* <3
Im sorry for that. my teacher doesn’t let me read calvin and hobbes, which makes me angry, but i understand it because its a comis, but i laughed for 5 whole minutes after i read the “boo yah” part. i was really hyper after that, and i played hide and seek with my cat, and fell asleep in a coat closet. ………..heh
im a weird specimen.
~Becca
XD 😀 😀 😀
That’s crazy!!
Aww! I’m sorry! That teacher probably doesn’t understand the greatness of Fanfictions, *Huggles*
