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
Okay, sooooo…
I just woke up today and kept shivering, my head hurts at the slightest movement, and I was just really tired. I could barely eat anything, and I kept having to wear a blanket, although any part of me that wasn’t wrapped in blanket got really cold. I took a 1 and half hour nap, with 5 blanket layers, and I felt okay, but as soon as I woke up and got out of my blanket sandwich I was instantly cold again and my teeth were even chattering, plus I was equally as tired as before.. My temperature is 103 degrees, and it just took me a lot of energy just to type this. 🙁
I hope you feel better soon.😥
No! I hope you feel much better soon! *hugs*
Awww, I’m sorry Mistle 🙁 Being sick is definitely not fun at all. I hope you feel better soon! *huggles* <3
I have this big presentation I have to give in front of my class on Monday, and I’m extremely nervous and anxious about it. The project I’m presenting is a prospectus (basically a short essay outlining what my senior paper is going to be about and the resources I used to research for the paper) for my senior paper. It might not sound so bad, but this is my explanation of the short story I’ll be writing for my senior paper next year, and I’m so anxious about it. I haven’t written anything original and non-fanfic in ages, and I haven’t written anything with human characters in ages either, and I feel like my idea and my writing for it is going to look stupid and awkward and out of place, since I haven’t written original stuff or human characters in ages.
Don’t get me wrong, I want to move back into writing original material, and coming up with my own stories not based on anything pre-existing (though I love fanfic too) so I can write my own books and hopefully get published one day. I just wish my first foray back into writing original content after going so long without writing it didn’t have a grade attached to it, and didn’t have to be presented in front the entire English department.
I figured out recently that I only have to give the presentation in front of my class, not the entire English department, so that’s a relief. I do have to present it to the entire English department at some point, but it will be in January, and not on Monday like I thought. So that does take the edge off of my anxiety a bit. But I still feel really iffy on the idea I’ve come up with, and my ability to write human characters in a believable way after writing nothing but cats for the last year or two.
I just feel really anxious, and it’s making me distracted, which is making it harder to focus on this prospectus and getting it finished. Ugh. Honestly, this is stressing me out more than my actual final exams and essays that are coming up next week. I think they’ll be easier to deal with and study for and do well on than this.
Don’t worry, Jayie 🙂 At school, I’m very socially challenged, and to the school I’m pretty much known as “the girl who never talks”. When I give presentations, I get pretty traumatized in front of a ton of people, but I can get through it, and so can you. I know it’s hard to ease yourself into a different style of writing after sticking to one so long, but usually, self-criticism is pretty exaggerated. To you, it might not sound good, but I’m pretty sure that if you put time and effort into it, then it’ll be good 🙂 (huggles)
Thank you. 🙂 That’s helpful to hear. ^^
Connection! Hugs
Jayie.
You write like you’ve already won your Pulitzer. Write like it’s fanfic, you’ll ace it. Good luck <3
Haha, aw, thank you! 😀
Just take a deep breath :huggles:
Jayie, you’re one of the best I know!! I seriously look up to you in all of your writing! I want to encourage you to feel confident in your writing, for you have certainly earned it. Good luck in your presentation, I know you’ll do well 💙💜💙
Aw, thank you. 🙂
We all get anxious at times, so try to find a way how to relax. Good luck on your presentation!
Thanks. 🙂
Jayie, I bet everyone who read your fanfics believe that you are going to be an ace at this! Its kinda hard when switching from species-thing in stories (like I never wrotea human story in 5th grade honestly thought it was awful because I’ve only did Warrior Cats 😛 ) but your writing is as amazing as the Erin’s 😀 Even though you haven’t wrote anything with human characters, that still doesn’t mean that you’ll be doing a bad job on your essay / project. Anyway, good luck! 😀
Aw, thank you. 🙂 Yeah, I have written humans, just not in a while. Hopefully, I can get the hang of it again.
Don’t worry Jayie you will be fine!
Thanks. 🙂
aaawww frosty (can i call you that? heh, sorry) im so sorry your stressed. when im stressed about school, usually for papers stories, and blah blah, i think about memories with friends, dreams and things i’ve done. THEN i get ideas, because if you know me…heh Becca does some very……INTERESTING things. haha
hey…..is it mean that when we’re annoyed with each other, just to mess around, me and my bestie call each other stupid names, like “poophead” and “meaniepants”
?????? we both start laughing afterwards and forgive each other for annoying each other, but is it mean?
Not if you don’t have bad intentions and neither of you are offended 🙂
If it was suppose to be an offense to bring up a grudge, then it would. But if you both were messing around / having fun, then not at all! 😀
I’ve had a bad couple of days and I just need to rant.
This girl at school hates me. Like hates me because of what I wear. Everyone loves her and I’m basically the only one in our grade that talks back to her. I was just feeling sorta anxious and stuff on Thursday and then I saw two of my friends talking to her. I was sitting on like a bench at a table and I heard them talking. I heard one of them say, “you don’t like, (my name)?” and I walked away. The girl that said that ran after me and proceeded to make me cry because my day was just going horribly. I then cried for the rest of lunch and sorta cried through Latin class. Of course, I realized that I had been too busy crying that I hadn’t printed my mythology paper thing out. I went to PE and I saw one of my friendish people from 7th grade on the track with like her class and I waved and actually smiled, which was rare on that day. Of course, my PE teacher asked me what he had just said and called me rude. I started tearing up and everyone seemed to notice.
Friday wasn’t as bad except this girl asked me why I had been sad and I almost started crying. I went to the doctor in the afternoon and learned that I couldn’t be in this parade with my gymnastics team because I might have a stress fracture in my back.
December hasn’t started out great for me.
Sorry for ranting.
Aww, Goldie I’m so sorry. Don’t worry about that mean girl, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, not at all. I’ve dealt with those types of people before, and the best thing to do is just ignore them. You are beautiful and perfect in every single way no matter what other people say. I really hope things get better and BlogClan is here for you if you need to talk about it. *huggles* <3 <3 <3
Thanks, Bre <3
I’m so sorry! That’s horrible! I hope december gets much better for you, Goldie. Just remember, BlogClan is here for you. We don’t care if you wear a baseball cap and shorts. or a sparkly gown. You are you, and that’s what makes you great. 🙂
Thanks Wil
No problem. I hope things get better! <3
Aw Goldi, I’m so sorry. Tell an adult about the girl who’s being mean. Also, you’re amazing and fantastic, please don’t forget that!! <3
Don't feel bad about ranting, either, we're always here to listen *hugs*
Thanks Birchy <3
A www no!!!! I’m so sorry!!!! *Huggles* don’t apologize for ranting, 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 we love to listen. *Huggles*
Thank you, Dark <3
Ignore her and tell a counselor or teacher <3 She has no right to judge you because of what you wear.
I don’t want to because one time one of her friends said something mean to me and I told my math teacher, but she just told me to have tougher skin.
I have to say that I seriously have a huge grudge for the people who criticize / hate one for their appearance. Even though one person hates you for what you wear, you’re still an amazing, kind, and loyal person, and that girl is absolutely wrong for just paying attention to your appearance. -hugs and then throws cookies at goldie- I really hope your days will get much better soon 🙂
(also additional note: never apologize for ranting again or lupinepaw will launch frijoles at you because no one should since the problems matter 😛 )
I’m so sorry! That sounds terrible. I wish I could help,but sadly I can’t. I hope it gets better soon.😕
aww i’m sorry goldie! that girl is just jealous because of how amazing and smart and kind and perfect you are! it doesnt matter what you were, dont worry, everyone is teased like that, and if THAT is the worst thing she can think to tease you about, your more perfect than Firestar 😀
if i was there i would beat her up for you 😛
Ok guys, I have a major case of the crushies. So,there’s this guy at my school,he is sooo cute and funny (bonus:he likes warriors) and I want to tell him that I like him,but I’m so scared that he will reject me. I tryed to tell him at lunch but chickened out and went in the other direction. Please help!
Omg!!! I love it when ppl need love advice. its the only thing im good for. heh. okay, i think that you should get to know him better. ask him to be your partner for a school project, and then maybe you can discuss the fact that you share the love of warriors. after he gets to know you, it will make it a lot easier for you and him, to tell him how you feel. if it works out and he likes you back, maybe you could show him this site and i can tell him that if he breaks your heart i will…..heh nvm.
OMS okays so here is advice just try and stay calm, show him blogclan, and everything that you love if its meant to be, its meant to be. And just like Dawny said, if he breaks your heart…. hehe he wont ever seee the light again *laughs maniacally* (literally) (IK, im

aw, I’m sorry. you should tell a different teacher, and then it might work. teachers have different personalities, and a lot of them think bullying and teasing is just kids being kids, but its actually really serious.
im having a bad…time too. for the past month (of november and into december) i have felt like i dont matter. when i tell ppl how i feel, they just say of course you do and i dont believe them. i’ve thought about running away from home, and i actually can cause i live in the woods, so a bear will just end my misery. im worthless. think about it. im never gonna do something to change society. im just another mouth for the world to feed. gonna go pack to live in the woods now. do you think i’ll need a book? it will just get ruined by snow… i cant take food, my family needs it more than i do. i’ll just starve. it will make it easier for the bear.
~Becca
Dawny, don’t leave home and feed the bear. You are worth something. Your family loves you, and we’re your friends. You’re not worthless on BlogClan, and don’t ever think that. I’ve experienced that before, and after I decide not to do that, some miracle happens to me and I’m GLAD I didn’t do what I intended to do.
Aaaaah!!!!! Dawnlily!!! Please don’t leave! We need you!!!! *Huggles*
Dawny, don’t believe that! You’re a valuable person in the world, and you also help the BlogClanners here with advice! If you ever ran, your friends and family would be devastated. Think of every good action you had done, even to the ones that happened for a second. Think of your bonds and relationships. -hugs tightly- Know that there are people who still consider you as someone who isn’t worthless and that is amazing.
No don’t do that! It won’t make things better! I thought of doing that, but I realized that it won’t make anything better, dont rjaway and stay strong! Remember we all have to say strong I know that you’re in a hard time in life and so am I. Stay strong! :huggles: you’re worth lots of things and we love you dont runaway
If you think you´re never going to change society, then you won´t. But you could if you keep trying. If Einstein and Washington and people like that had just given up. Nothing would have happened! You´re an amazing person and the world (and BlogClan, and your family) would be at a huge loss if you ran away. They probably just say ¨of course you do¨ because they´re uncomfortable and don´t know what else to say. Please don´t run away. You are in no way worthless. *huggles*

Aww, that sucks. I hate when that happens. At least you don´t have to do the research again, though! *huggles*
I have been missing social activities and my friend came over to give me cookies and tell me that she missed me and I teared up. In my head though. She actually missed me. It made me feel like a horrible person to not go every week and connect with her and my other friends. Is that normal or am I just a complete weirdo? I really hope that i am not because that would make me different. Does anyone feel the same way?
It’s fine yo be different, if your the same as everyone or try to be, the world just loses its amazingness because you are not being who you are, and if you think that’s weird then so be it!
What’s wrong with being different?
Reading over that makes me seem strange. Sorry!
OMS guys I aaked out my crush and he said YES!😄😄😄😄😄 -squeals- but I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get to the pizza place (that’s where we’re going ). I was chatting with him and it was realy a spurr of the moment thing so i aaked him if he wanted to go to the pizza place later. He. Said. Yes. OMS what do I do!!!!!!
Ooh, that’s awesome! ^^
I’m sure everything will go perfectly!! 😀 Just be yourself, and I’m sure it will be loads of fun!
Okay. I wont leave and get eaten by a bear. I think i was overreacting a BIT. okay, a LOT. but i understand i just have to try harder. in the meantime immatry try to help yo peeps on here.
Dapplesong, just chat about warriors, stuff you like, and what you dont like. i think its cool you can actually go on dates with people to like, restraunts, because where i live, you cant. theres three small towns, each separated from each other by forests. :p weird, i know. everyone knows each other, and our school is even smaller. its probably the size of some school’s gyms, cafeteria and library combined, and if you think about it, thats really small. and especially because its Pre-school thru 12th grade. i made a new friend today. i was in creative writing, and we had an assignment to write a story from the point of view from an animal. I wrote about my cat, and one of the other girls in class, wrote about warriors! it was about a kittypet turned warrior, who was made deputy by her father, who was mates with the kittypet’s mother, but she died. i didnt really talk to her much before that, and I was really excited that she read warriors, too, and heh, i was the only one who understood common warrior words, like “kittypet” and “sharing tongues”. i had a pretty good day. heh. sorry for ovcerreacting and flipping out.
