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
my parents really want me to take this class that i know is going to make me feel really bad, and i’ve already been struggling with other things. could i have some hugs?
*Hugs* I’m sorry
*hugs* *Hugs* *Hgs*
I’ve been extremely feeling miserable lately, and I have no idea why. I somehow can’t bring myself to finish my assignments, and I have no idea how I’m going to survive high school when my grades affect which college I get into. I miss being 10… hugs?
literally me too ): hugggggg
mental health is really important so make sure to take care of yourself!
*huggggggssssssss*
Sending many hugs, Ocean <3
Sorry your feeling like that, just try your best and take breaks!
*Huggggs*
*hugsss*
I’ve felt this way before too and it sucks. But it’ll get better, I promise. You won’t feel this way forever. Maybe take some time for yourself, just to rest, eat some snacks, recharge, watch a tv show/movie you love and remember that you are so loved <33
*Hugs* *Hugs* *Hugs*
Agh. I feel absolutely traumatized after something, and I can’t sleep now. I feel so anxious about it and frustrated.

Guys, I am supposed to have a job, a place, and a purpose in my school, and EVERYONE is taking it away from me! Every time I come up with a new project, it gets so popular. At first I was so happy, and then these random girls just walk into my project without being invited and just declare themselves the owner. They boss everyone around and don’t care about how I feel. They weren’t even in the project, and it was MY idea, MY project, and I just feel like everyone is taking my place. And there’s nothing I can do about it.
Hugs?
*hugs*
*hugsss!* I’m so sorry, Spidercloud.
I’m sorry Spidercloud, ypu don’t deserve that *hugs*
Aww *hugs* sorry you feel that way, I hate it when people take over what I came up with 🙁
*hugsss* I’m so sorry Spider, I get how frustrating that must feel.
I go to a catholic school altho I’m atheist, and it super exhausting sometimes because I have to pretend to care about something I don’t believe in at all 😭
But yesterday there was this ceremony for like Easter or something and this guy rambled on about God and stuff for like an hour and I was really tired after having like four other classes including gym that day and I just started thinking bad things about the guy and just the religion in general until it finished ;-; I felt really bad about it afterwards tho but I’m so so sorry if this offended any catholics reading this 😭
Hugs pls?
*huggs* I’m catholic and go to a catholic school but there the people who aren’t catholic can skip all the religion classes and that stuff.
Maybe you should tell this to your parents or teachers?
*huggs*
*hugss!!* I’m so sorry, Skypaw. That sounds really hard.
*hugssss*
I’m sorry Shimmz <3 I can only imagine how exhausting this would be. Maybe have a bit of a rest to do something you love and recharge <3 also maybe tell your parents or teachers to see what they can do about it?
Sending hugs!
I’ve got two friends, Brookpaw and Lunapaw, and they’re both amazing and awesome and I’m grateful for them. But about a week ago, I got the news that Brookpaw is coming with me and Lunapaw when we go to summer camp in June. I was excited, of course, since I cherish my time with them, since they live about 30 minutes away. And then, once I saw Brookpaw’s expression, I’m dreading the summer. See, Brookpaw and Lunapaw aren’t…. on very good terms. Brookpaw rants to me about something Lunapaw said, but I know Lunapaw doesn’t mean what Brookpaw thinks she means. I guess thats confusing. But when I talked to Lunapaw about it, she was confused. She said Brookpaw was ignoring her. Brookpaw and Lunapaw are friends, they go to the same middle school and everything, but they don’t get along very well anymore. I enjoy hanging out with them, especially at girl scout meetings, but the most recent meeting wasn’t very good. It was ‘field day’, and we were put on to teams. Me and Lunapaw were on yellow team, Brookpaw was on blue team.
Honestly? I’m afraid of what’ll happen at summer camp.
Brookpaw vents to me about Lunapaw.
Lunapaw asks me for advice about Brookpaw.
How do you have fun with some of your closest friends, when they don’t even get along with each other?
So sorry to hear that 🙁 *Extra big squishy hugs then throws a squishmallow gently in their face*
I am in the same situation: I am friends with two people that are always at war and they just both rant to me about each other 🙁 But it gets better, I promise!
*XXXXL hugs and Squishmallows rain down from the sky*
thanks, Sorrelpaw! I hope so.
Sending many hugs, Amberpaw <33
thank you, Icy!
I have been in that same situation pretty much throughout the whole of fourth and fifth grade, tho it kind of ended now but try getting them to sort their problems out with each other, ask them to talk to each other and see each other’s perspectives, or if they refuse to meet, tell them what the other thinks. So sorry about your situation. Sending many hugs.
*hugs*
I understand how exhausting it can be to be the buffer for two different people <3
What I’d suggest is privately talk to Brookpaw and Lunapaw to get their sides of the story and what they want to happen. Like do they want to reconcile? Just stop being friends?
Then bring them together to sort this out and at least manage to be friendly with each other.
Good luck <3
Today I had a bad day bc my fam is homophobic and I was drawing a cute Talljake with pride flag so they scolded me ☹️ and thrower the drawing.
Hugs please.
Not to be rude but HOW DARE THEY >:0 If they dont respect the fact that you draw this type of stuff, they need to get over that. Plus, no art should be thrown away!
*HUGGSSSSSSSS*
*hugs!!*
Ugh I’m so sorry that happened!!! It’s so annoying that they did that like just because they’re homophobic doesn’t mean you can’t be supportive of it/ just DRAW a lgbtq character. *Hugs*
I am crying right now a lot. Hugs?
Huggggggs.
Ps. thanks for the welcome on the introduction’s page.
Ofc!
*HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGS* * HUGSSS* * AGRESSIVEY HUGSSSS*
I’m sorry, Swiftpaw. Sending a million hugs <33
*hugsss* I hope you feel better soon <33 sometimes we all feel a bit lighter after a good cry 🙂 If you need to talk, I'm here 💖 silverdusk131@gmail.com
Hi, names Shadepaw/tuft. Just found out that my favorite person in the entire world (My S.S. teacher will be moving to the highschool next year, but I still have 8th grade left. This teascher means the entire world for me and it’s really upsetting that they will be leaving. They always give me hugs whenever I ask so I’ve been trying to get as many in in the time I still have. This person may ever mean more to me than my family and it just really hurts to think about next year because they won’t be there.
I’m so sorry, I’ve had to go through that many times too. sorry, I’m not good at giving advice, so I can’t, but I will be sending you millions of hugs! have some cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 🩷
Thanx 🙂
Hugs?
*hugs*
Thanx
*hugssss*
I’m sorry Shadey <3 I can only imagine how upsetting this must be. maybe check with your teacher that you two can email/stay in contact?
*hugs* This has happened to me before, I know how you feel
I recently moved to a new school and I miss my friends a lot and they don’t have phones so we can’t chat online. I live 2 hours away from my best friend so I can’t visit her whenever I want. Also my mom has made me go to extra classes and it stresses me out, I’ve talked to her but she says it’s to get into a good school. Hugs please?
I am so sorry. I moved 10 hrs away from all my friends last year and I understand how you feel! Maybe ask a parent if you can plan a time to see them? *hugs
I’m very sorry, Stormy. *hugs.*
Womp womp
*hugssss*
Maybe plan to see them through your parents, as Spiri said?
I’ve barely been up an hour on Good Friday and I’ve had a fight with my parents.
*Hugs* I know it’s hard to fight with your parents. I hope the problem resolves!
Hugs.
*hugs* I’m sorry 🙁 I hope the problem resolves itself!
I’m so sorry to make two hug posts on the same day but I had another fight with my mom. I feel like she hates me right now.
Sending many hugs <3
*huggssss*
Sending hugs <3
I’m feeling sorta torn between decisions.
My grade is going camping NEXT week. My only problem is, it’s happening at the same time as Eid(for all you who do not know, Eid is a celebration marking the end of Ramadan). My town is planning on doing one of the biggest Eid prayers we’ve ever had, and the camp has given me permission to leave for this. Even though this should mean that the conundrum is over, I can’t help but feel major fomo for whatever everyone else will be doing while I’m gone. I keep on trying to talk to my parents about it, but they keep on telling me “We’ll talk when it gets closer.” Well, I have one week left, but it’s kinda scaring me. I’ll try to talk to my parents, but for now, I could really use some advice on how to deal with fomo, thanks.😐
*hugs*
I understand what a hard decision this must be! I especially get the FOMO for what you are missing out on part.
I would personally suggest staying for the Eid prayer. Just imagine how pleased Allah will be with you for staying <33
Obviously if you want to go to the camp go ahead though!! <3 the choice is yours. 💗
Thanks silv, that really helped a bunch, and I think I now know what decision to make. <3
