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

Many hugs coming your way ❤️

*Hugs* Being sick sucks! Hope you feel better asap <3

*huggs* I hope you feel better soon <33
*hugs
I hope you get better soon!
*HUGGOS* That must suck
Just going to vent here, but hugs would be appreciated.
So there’s this kid in my class (let’s call him Alderpaw) who has some outbursts whenever someone does something silly. I don’t know for sure why does that. He’ll yell at the people who are trying to help him, and he’ll have these outbursts nearly every day. It just really makes me uncomfortable, and we also got new seats. I’m going to feel REALLY uncomfortable if I have to sit by him, because our new table is right by one of the kids who does lots of silly things that make Alderpaw mad.
I just need some hugs :((
Welp, I have acute bronchitis, and my tablet screen is cracked. Luckily it still works but I’ve been hiding it from my parents because I don’t want them to get mad. I got this tablet in JUNE! I’ve only had it like 5 months!
*hugs*

Not a rickroll I promise ❤️
Can’t follow the link but it must be beautiful ty Rosie❤️
Huggos plz… I’m so freaking mad at myself 🙁 I fell in love AGAIN. We’ll call him… Silentpaw. Now, you might be saying, “What, Vix? But… being in love is a good thing!” I know… but for me, I just got straight out of getting my heart broken by a dude who I like, LOVED. And this dude, let’s call him… Eaglepaw. So, Eaglepaw was my crush for a REALLY LONG TIME. Like, 3 years. He then confessed he didn’t like me, and I was heartbroken. Me and my 3 best friends, Echopaw, Juniperpaw, and Rosepaw, AND Eaglepaw, we were playing Kiss Marry Kill at Rosepaw’s birthday party. It was my turn, and when it was time for me to say who I would marry, Eaglepaw said, “It’s me, isn’t it Vix?” And I nodded. He like, covered his mouth and ran away. And then it was his turn. When it came to marry, he said, “I’ll marry… Vix.” Now, there’s another girl in my class, let’s call her Violetpaw, her name is EXTREMELY similar to mine. I gasped, and Eaglepaw said, “Oh, uh, Violetpaw, not you, Vix.” And then, I played it off, and said, “I was just joking, y’all, I’d actually marry Eelpaw.” They were like, ah, ok then. So… Silentpaw. He is so sweet… but the only problem is… HE FREAKING HANGS OUT WITH EAGLEPAW!! I’m thinking of telling Eaglepaw that I really liked him, and I fell out of love over the year… but… I don’t want to break his heart like he broke mine. And another thing is, it would be REALLY awkward because he’s in marching band with me, as well as being at my school. But anyway, back to Silentpaw. He is so sweet, and kinda quiet, but soooo funny! I sit next to him in a class, and I think he could know… but I hope not. But… should I tell Eaglepaw about me liking him? I don’t know for right now, but… Hugs please. And prayers too if you have them.
Agh Vix I feel you. So sorry I don’t have advice for you, but best wishes for you and Silentpaw!
*hugs
*huggs* i’m sorry you’re feeling that way, I do too :(( I hope you can figure things out soon <33
Sending many hugs and prayers 🙂
Ty ryry!
Hugs and prayers especially. Marching band romance gets very chaotic. If Eaglepaw doesn’t like you, then ignore it since he clearly couldn’t see the fiery passion inside of you that was crush worthy. Anyway Vix, just don’t tell him unless he asks and you wanna be honest. But say you fell out of love last year which is a long time ago. Sweet, quiet guys are commonly not the heartbreaker’s. You seem like a very sweet person and I get this good vibe about Silentpaw if he really is a nice guy. And having a crush on someone else after getting rejected isn’t weird, but the friend thing kinda is. Advice: Don’t stare at Eaglepaw while your with Silentpaw.
Can I have some hugs guys 😔
*hugs hugs hugs* hope you’re doing okay <3
Thank you ❤️
ofc ofc!💖
*Hugs*
❤️
*hugs*
I hope you’re alright, Frost! Hope you get better <33
Ty I’m feeling better now ❤️
*hugs*
*hugs* we’re glad you’re back <333
Tyyyyyyy
*HUGGOS*
Hugs plz . . .
So, in America, elections are over, and all i’m going to say is that i’m not happy. At all. I’m actually scared for my country, and what they (the winner) are going to do to it. I was really hoping that the other would win, it would be such a huge thing. Sadly no.
Me too I feel so sad and scared right now
Yeah, me too. *huggos*
*hugs hugs hugs* I feel the exact same way you do, Mizzie. I’m also incredibly scared for our country and its citizens, I’m definitely really stressed out and was also hoping that our other main candidate would win, so I get exactly how you feel. Sending lots and lots of huggles your way <33
Tysm Flam. We will get through it, and hopefully after his presidency is over, we’ll get someone better.
here’s hoping :’)) <3
*Hugs* I feel the same way, Miz <3
*hugs* i’m not american, but as a canadian, i can see how the results can affect our countries. sending many hugs <33
“Hugs*
Yeah me too. One of my friends literally came to school crying this morning and later when we were talking my other friend started bawling. It’s scary because I’m an LGBTQ member, have people of color in my family, and am a woman 🙁 I’m even more scared for my friend who is an LGBTQ Mexican girl and is scared to walk down the street alone. Just try to remember it’s only 4 years, and in the long run we’ll be okay 🙂
I know, I also was hoping the other person would win. I’m scared too, but I hope it helps to know you’re not alone.
*Hugs* I know how you feel. Not only I feel that bad things will happen to the country, but people, too
*Hugs* I agree.
i’m scared too, but not for me, for my friends.
i have the exact same feeling. i am bipoc & lgbtq and i have felt so scared and out of control for the past few days. sending love and hugs. we can make it through together. ❤️
*hugs* I’m not American but I totally get being scared about this. Hopefully someone better gets elected after this term, and this will all be in the past. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*HUGGGS* It must be scary
*hugs* I get you, Mizzie. I’m also upset about it. <3
*hugs*
*huggs* I understand, i’m also very scared
I really need some hugs this morning. I’m suffering from existential dread over what the next four years will mean for the USA.
Sending hugs ❤️❤️❤️ we don’t deserve this
*hugs hugs hugs* I completely understand, WhiteWhiskers, and I definitely feel the same way as I’m sure you do :’) I’m definitely also very scared for the next four years, but if it makes you feel better, I’m sure many, many other people same the same way as both of us </3
sending many, many, MANY hugs <33
*HUGS*.
I’m sorry, Whitewhiskers, that must be awful how you’re feeling :((
❤️❤️❤️
*hugs* me too. Me too. Lots of hugs coming your way whitewhiskers
*hugssss*
I feel the exact same, Whitewhiskers. I’m scared too, but, if it helps, I know a lot of people are. My whole family is. But hopefully the citizens can make enough of a difference that after these four years, we will have someone good.
*Hugs* I feel the exact same way.
I also feel the most vulnerable out of my family, being a young, female adolescent. I really wish the other main candidate won, and I’m shocked and disappointed that she didn’t. Sending many hugs your way, Whitewhiskers <33
Honestly, same, and I don’t even live in America. It’ll be hard, but we’ll get through this, just like we did once before <3
Sending hugs Whitewhiskers. I’m disappointed and scared in this country (being not only a part of the LGBTQ+ community, but also being Hispanic, having immigrant family members, and LGBTQ+ aunts) and where we’re headed. Please stay safe!! :C
*hugs* same. i’m so, so, so scared…too scared for words to even capture it. i could barely get out of bed this morning; i was late for school. but my mom keeps telling me that even though it doesn’t seem like there might be much hope, that the US will be destroyed, so many people feel the same way we do, and even if we don’t make much of a difference, we’re all going to fight.
*hugs* i don’t live in the us, but as a canadian, my country is closely associated with what becomes of the us, and i’m dreading what might come because of the election results. sending many hugs <33
Well, you’re not the only one 🙁 *HUGS*
*hugs
I know how you feel, Whitewhiskers. I’m scared for what this means for the Untied States, but I hope it helps to know that you’re not alone.
*Hugs*
*hugss* you’re not alone, WhiteWhiskers!! <33 I’m also upset about this. I really thought the other would win.
*hugs* You’re not alone in your worry, and it’s definitely justified, but just remember, this will all pass, and hopefully things will improve 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*huggssss*
Although I’m not American, I feel sick reading comments about people having to be scared for themselves and their family. I really, really hope everyone stays safe <3333
*hugs*
*hugs*
*huggggs* I feel the same, i’m scared for the next four years as well. sending many, many hugs <3
I feel so sick I might throw up.
My school has been lying about certain things, and my family isn’t happy. For the first time in forever, we’re considering moving schools. I’m scared because I’ve been at my school since kindergarten (I’m in high school now) and I’ve never really even imagined leaving. I would have to leave my friends and start fresh in a whole new environment. It just peeves me out and scares me.
Also, I’m literally ill. So that’s not fun.
Hugs/Prayers/Advice?
I totally get how terrifying that is. Last year, my parents wanted to move me to another school bc they’d made assumptions that my school wasn’t teaching me correctly. I was freaked out bc this school was (and still is) the only place I can fully be myself. Try to convince them not to? Sry I don’t have much advice 🙁 I hope it all goes okay!
I know how you feel, Riv. Last year my dad was looking for a job and we almost moved halfway across the country. That was one of the scariest weeks of my life, and I’m so grateful now that we didn’t move.
*hugs
I hope everything works out for you!
*hugss* that’s hard <3
*hugs*
*hugs and prayers*
What your family wants to do seems scary, maybe tell them what you feel? Oh and being ill is no fun, pls get better soon! (Sorry if this is cringy but I’m really sorry for what is happening)
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* that sounds awful, Riv! I don’t have advice, but you will certainly be in my prayers ❤
*hugs*
*hugssss* this is actually really relatable, because last year the exact same thing happened to me. i’d been at my school since kindergarten, but the new principal was tearing things apart and the school was close to SHUTTING DOWN. so i moved. i’m actually incredibly happy at my new school, much, much happier than i was, so i really hope it works out the same for you <333
*hugs*
i’m so sorry, riv. as someone who has moved before, i can tell you that it wasn’t a very good experience- and i’m so sorry that you might have to go through that. i’m hoping everything works out for you!! <33
I’ve been having some terrible moodswings lately and I hate them and want them to go away. Sometimes everything’s just going alright, and then somebody says one small thing which makes me go crazy and depressed. I feel like I kinda have… really, really short depressions, like, they’re way less bad than real depressions and never last longer than a day, but the problem is I get them often when I even think about making homework. I know it’s not that bad, but I can’t help it. And my mom isn’t really helping either, bc she tries to, but keeps telling me to plan when I’m gonna do it or just do it when I think of it so I’m rid of it and it seems like I can’t get explained to her that I really try to, but I just CAN’T. My brain just… just can’t. I have no idea what to do against this, and since I have homework almost every day, it’s kinda a problem :’3 And now she thinks I’m mad at her while I’m not but I’m just typing this comment while she asks me stuff so I just give short, unfocused replies which makes her think I’m angry ToT But about my lil’ depressions, I can also get them sometimes when I have to sleep and I’m not tired, which is annoying cuz my dad keeps saying I go to sleep too late, and my mom sometimes too :’3 And I also tend to feel really… dull sometimes. Like I don’t feel like doing anything, but I don’t feel like doing nothing either. I feel like food and De Collega’s are like, the only two things keeping me happy atm, and it feels so crappyyyyyy🫠
I really get you. My mood swings are exactly the same, and there usually isn’t much I can do to prevent them.
*hugs
*HUGSS* ooh Fallowsy welcome to the life of a 13-year-old /j
No but really, I get you. I can relate to that really strongly. I was a lot like that during the summer and I think it’s a little better now but it’s still sadly relatable. To me it really helps to just put on my headphones and lock up in my room, maybe scroll some Instagram stuff. That might be totally different for you tho. I hope you get better soon <3
*huggos*
*hugs* No you are NOT crappy Fallows! Idk what you’re like irl, but being nice on the blog means you won’t get CRAPPY irl! Your parents are probably just mad because they had a unplesant day! Don’t take in their words too much :’)
*Hugs*
*hugs*
YES MOODSWINGS SUCK
THEY ARE CRAPPY HEHEEEHE >:D
it will be fine eventually
*throws fries at*
*hugs*
i know i’ve been on here a lot lately, but i need hugs. one of my best friends said that her mom said that they might move her family out of the country, to peru, is what she said. i’m terrified of that happening, since i already have a best friend who i only see on weekends. i don’t want to lose touch with this girl, while i’ve only known her for a year, she is one of my best friends. and she is the only person at my school who can calm me down when i get overwhelmed.
some of my friends are lgbtq+, and i’m worried them. also, i’m also worried about myself because i’m female.
Aw hugshugshugshugs don’t ever be ashamed to come on here. We’re here for you and you can talk to us any time. Just try to spend as much time with her, because you want to make good memories with her if (IF) she moves.
*hugss* I get you <3
*hugs* Maybe if your friend does end up moving you can keep in touch via text or calls?
*HUGGOS* That must be scary
*Hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs*
I’ve been really stressed out; more than usual. My friend might be moving away, like, out of this country moving away, and it’s been stressing and upsetting one of my other friends, too. I also think people I know might be in trouble now. I can be distracted from these things, but they’re really bugging me. I don’t know if I can do anything about it, because there’s not really anything I can do. Hugs?
*hugs
Thanks <3
*hugss* that sucks 🙁
Thanks Jacki
*hugs* I’m sorry all this is happening Mapey!
Thanks Honeybeam!
*HUGGOS* One of my friends moved to Canada recently, so that must also be DEPRESSING. And it must suck to see others get in trouble that you can’t help
Yeah. She’s not even staying in the country, and her family plans to leave after this summer 😞Thanks Rosemary!
That sounds hard. <333 I know someone that's moving to another countrey, but they arn't accually my friend
Thanks Ivy!
*hugs*
Thanks Rowan <3
*hugs*
