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 yallsies I need some advice
So I believe it’s been a month or two since I realized I was a furry, and I really want to get a fursuit. The thing is that my parents don’t know I’m a furry or that I’m aroace, and I don’t know how they’ll react; especially if I tell them I want a giant cat costume. Even though I just want a partial fursiut (covers head, hands, sometimes feet, and has tail), they are ridiculously expensive and hard to take care of. I’m so nervous about it that my friends know about my furry-ness and my parents are in the dark. Any advice or huggos pls?
*HUGGGGOS*
*+hugs+*
I can totally relate to what ur going through. I am a furry, therian, bisexual, and panromantic, and it’s so hard to just be me in a home where I have to act like a therian hater and someone who isn’t lgbt or a furry (parents support pride, sort-of-kudos to them, and they think furries r weird but that i can do what i want with my life after i’m 21 so fursuit here i go). I can’t really d much at school abt it because i go to a school where they would kill furries 💀💀
My point is, I understand!! I would suggest to wait until you’re most comfortable to come out to them and just tell them how you feel and how nervous you were coming out to them! I understand the fursuit thing, so if they are ok with you as a furry, you guys can come up with a savings plan or an agreement/compromise! I would suggest waiting until high school tho!!
Good luck Lioniiii!
* hugs *
I don’t really have any advice, but I hope you figure it out! <3
*HUGSS* I sadly don’t have any advice <33
*hugs*
*hugs* my best advice for you is to tell your parents. Who knows they might be very supportive, and even if not, then you’ll have gotten it over with, because if you don’t tell them, chances are they’ll find out in the worst possible way later and then you’ll get in trouble for hiding things from them as well. Good luck girlie <3
*hugs* If you think they’ll react badly if you tell them you’re a furry, could you tell them you want it for a different reason? Or maybe you could make one yourself? There are lots of tutorials on YouTube.
*hugssss*
Maybe just casually drop the fact you’re a furry in a conversation and then bring up the fursuit a little later?
I’m not sure my parents are exactly 100% supportive of LQBTQ+ people, let alone furries/therians. Especially since if you search up what a furry is, it’s mostly about the sexual stuff, which is NOT my thing at all (I’m in 7th grade, come ON). And I don’t want to change how they see me, ’cause I’m scared it’ll be for the worse.
*huggles huggles huggles*
aww I’m sorry Lio :(( I don’t have much advice about the part about trying to come out both as a furry, but I can definitely relate to being a closeted queer person–I know we’ve maybe chatted about our sexualities before but I’m on the aroace spectrum (ace, demiromantic, and panromantic!) and pangender (nonbinary spectrum), however I’ve only come out to a handful of my friends, and that was when I identified as aroace-aroace, not just aroace spectrum-aroace. Along with that, I ended up sort of unknowingly coming out as pangender/nonbinary to one of my friends in gym class the other day (we were talking about how many queer OCs we have (I have warriors ocs and she mostly has pokemon ocs) and I said something along the lines of “being cis/hetero is overrated” and she’s like “wait are you not cis?” and I was like “oH I THINK I’M PANGENDER, NONBINARY, IDRK :DD” and she was totally chill about it (she’s nonbinary herself :DDD)) but I think what I’m trying to get across is that I get that coming out can be really scary! A lot of my friends are queer, and most of those friends are aroace (I have a friend who’s a lesbian, 2 who are bi, one who’s pan I believe, and 2 friends who are aroace (one of whom is also nonbinary)) so they were definitely chill about me being on the aroace spectrum, but I’m definitely still scared of coming out to my family/some other friends so I definitely get how you feel!! I think that if you’re not sure how your parents would react, maybe try casually asking them something like “what do you guys think of furries?” or “what’s your take on the LGBTQ+ community?”, and maybe if they generally show a positive response, then maybe try telling them? sorry I don’t have much advice, but I hope things work out for ya, my fantabulous friend <3 ily Lio, sending lots and lots of huggos <333
*Hugs*No advice, sorry
I do think that at one point, you should come out to them. But for nowww, if you don’t want to come out rn, then maybe say its for a Halloween costume??
Sending hugs <33
*hugs*
Hugs to anyone who needs them.
There’s this boy in my class who keeps teasing me, and I really don’t like it. He does it every day. Once he said, really loudly, ‘Remember that website Thistlepaw was always on last year?’ right in front of my crush. He also always brings up that I was on the Blog last year. He’s always asking (not in a nice way) why I’m mad all the time. It’s literally because I hate school. Then when he asked that a couple days ago, I snapped and said I was having problems. Instead of shutting up like he should’ve, he goes and says, ‘Oh, is BitLife getting to you? Are the people on BlogClan being mean?’ The problems in question were that I had to move houses, and I had been having extremely vivid nightmares that were really scary, I won’t share what about because some of them include major phobias and I don’t want to trigger anyone. On top of that, today he flung my glasses off the table.
Hugs or advice please <3
Sooooooo, my mom hasn’t been feeling great lately (mentally). She’s kinda depressed (idk if it’s real depression but it seems similiar to it), and really really tired, which is making her more forgetful than usually. Today, she forgot to put my water into my backpack for school, and I had PE, but luckily my dad came to bring it. A week ago or so she also fogot to put my school laptop in it, and I got a note, so I started stressing that she’d forget something like this every week now. Anyway, when I came back from school, I ranted about it to my dad, but when we got home, he did the dumbest thing ever: My mom slept the whole day bc she was so tired, and when she, looking still tired and depressed, entered the living room and asked me how my day was, he flippin answered: ‘Bad, cuz you forgot to put her water in her backpack.’ The atmosphere was so horrible for a while, and we had some arguments, and I felt really bad. It’s better now, but I’m still not feeling the greatest. Hugs please? Btw, I’m also having a minor headache but I don’t want to tell my parents cuz my dad’s very cautious with sicknesses and he probably wouldn’t let me go to my choir repetition which is in half an hour or so. But I really don’t wanna get sick cuz me and my friend Milkpaw are going to a catcafe tomorrow
That’s rough Fallows, it sounds like your mom is suffering from depression (I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, just one person’s opinion). One thing you might do is be responsible for putting your own supplies in your backpack, so it would be one less task for your mom to do and one less possible source of conflict.
I’ve posted here a lot but this one is truly for my bestie who we will call Sweetpaw. She’s gone through too much and I want to show that people like me care since her friends don’t.
At school kids intentionally hurt her. Her friend Sharptounge blew this fog horn thingy in her ear as a joke and it hurt her head so badly she needed a wheelchair. This happened after Sweetpaw helped Sharptounge in her wheelchair, so that was…weirdly ironic. She then was attacked on her birthday which was on graduation practice (her first concussion happened on her birthday she now has eight) by a kid (Clawface we will call him) she didn’t even know. She never spoke a word to him and he randomly bashes her on the head and she NEARLY missed graduation but missed practice. Now she’s on new medication, longer recovery, banned from her favorite sport Softball (a miracle she got promoted to First Chair Orchestra after her eighth concussion like how) and a slight depression. Prayers from Christian buddies pls.
*hugs* Can you tell a teacher or other responsible adult? No one should get to physically hurt your friend like that.
The situation has already been handled. Clawface was let off with a warning (despite multiple others) because it was graduation practice. If they did punish him, the only solution would be suspension and he would have to get held back. He would be very angry and aggressive over this I suppose so it would be too risky. If Clawface does something bad again, the whole thing would be brought up on his record, he’d be suspended, a very big punishment, etc. And Sharptounge…well…got yelled at by me so I was the punishment.
*hugs*
I’ll make sure to pray for your friend
*hugs* I’ll pray for her <33
*hugs* That seems really rough. Sending them good wishes for the Christmas season from a heretic!
So I wanted to order this signed Livingston CD, but I couldn’t afford it, and now it’s sold out :/
*Hugs* That sucks
*hugs*
*hugs* i’m sorry, that sucks :'(
Awww man. Maybe you could find it on eBay or an auction? I’m sorry but I got no clue ’bout these sort of things :’D
*huggos*
Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough friends
Hugs would be appreciated
*hugs* + 100000000000 cookies
*Hugs*
We can be friends if you want! I would love to learn more about you <33
*Hugs* Would you like to be friends with me? I know you probably mean irl, but it might still help <333
*hugs*
*huggos*
Everyone on this blog wants to be your friend, and I’m guessing that lots of people irl want to be your friend as well! Sending hugs and cookies <33
Something I have learned over time is that the quality of your friends is more important than the quantity.
Listen to this guy 👆👆👆 he always has something wise to say, idk how he does it lol
Thanks Jacki. I don’t know whether what I say is always wise, but I try to be of help to you younguns when I can. I have experienced a few things in my 74 years of life, and if I can be of help to others, that makes me happy.
*hugs x1000000*
I’d really appreciate some hugs rn :’)
today the cast list for our school musical (peter pan) was posted and I didn’t exactly get the role I wanted. I was hoping to get either Peter Pan, Wendy, or Captain Hook, but I got Tiger Lily. I know I probably sound really spoiled and entitled and just a terrible person because I’m complaining about getting a fairly major role but I’m just really upset that I didn’t get the role(s) I wanted. I guess a part of it might be that last year’s school musical was the first one I had ever participated in, and I got the role of Katherine. Obviously I was absolutely psyched about that, and it’s still my favorite role I’ve played (granted, that isn’t saying much 😛 the only roles I’ve technically already played are that and Grace Farrell in Annie), and I also met some of my closest friends, discovered my love of acting, and just had an absolutely wonderful time. Anyway, I’ve always gotten the “lead female role” in shows and I feel like now I’m the secondary female role, and it just doesn’t make me feel good. At all.
Another thing that really irks me about this whole situation is that our directors said that no sixth graders would be getting a lead role (for maturity reasons), however it sounds like they cast a SIXTH GRADER for Wendy. Our directors PROMISED that only SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS would be getting lead roles. Now, I love our directors. They’re both just such wonderful people and I love them dearly, so my trust just feels very shattered from this. I know some of you are probably going to tell me it’s just one school musical and it won’t count that much in the long run, but it’s my dream to one day perform in a Broadway show, and I LOVE musical theatre, so I’m just so sad and angry and upset about the cast list. I feel like a disappointment right now. I know I’m a terrible singer and a terrible actor and an absolute scumbag of a person and I just want to go back to the seventh grade where I was so excited for the musical to start and to have my friends (who are now mostly in high school) in the musical with me and I just hate everything I hate the cast list I hate my role I hate everything. I’m close to breaking down in tears for what, the fourth time since the cast list was posted and I just feel crappy.
Along with all that, I’ve just been feeling really insecure about both my abilities and my looks.
Also, I now kind of feel really self-conscious about my really pale skin?? If you didn’t know, Tiger Lily in the Peter Pan movie is a Native American so I’m really worried that I’ll offend people for playing the character that’s intended to be played by a Native American. I’m probably the palest kid in the cast. I know the directors probably gave me this role for a reason, but I feel like me being cast as the Native American leader might come off as rude or even racist, and that’s something I try to avoid at all costs–I’m a firm believer of racial equality and I’m strongly against racism, so I’m just really worried that people will get the wrong idea. I just feel really crappy and I feel like this probably means I’ll never get to perform on Broadway–and if I do eventually, then I’ll probably just be ensemble and never get to play my dream role
hugs/advice, please? ily guys :’)
hi, flame!! I am not at all qualified to give a true answer on the last paragraph of your worries but I do feel decently capable of perhaps offering some reassurance on the rest. I am a Senior in Highschool with a strong love of theater and I am planning on going to college for theater. Last fall I was given a lead role in our production of The Crucible. That Spring I was given ensemble in the musical, after being semi-promised a lead role. I found this crushing. When I went to audition for things outside of school, I got no after no after no. My confidence dropped immensely. When I auditioned for the play this year I was given a secondary role that still plays a good part, but has nowhere near the impact that other roles have.
In short, I can relate.
What helped me was reminding myself that casting is an immense undertaking and that at the end of the day, I couldn’t control who I played but I can control how well I play them. I obviously don’t know you and have not seen you perform before, but I am confident that with your passion for theater you will make an amazing Tiger Lily and act the absolute MOST out of that role. Sometimes people don’t leave the shows thinking of the leads, but instead the slightly smaller role that was so well done in every scene they were in, they stood out.
I’d also like to remind you that it is okay for this to knock your confidence down. It’s okay to be upset you didn’t get the part you wanted. It’s okay and feeling all of those feelings does not make you a bad person at all. You are still the same wonderful Flamepaw that you were before you auditioned and that you will continue to be after this show.
Perhaps, if this is a large cause of stress for you, I could encourage you to ask one of the casting people for feedback on why you got the role you got and if there’s anything to improve before you begin auditioning at the Highschool level, and you can focus in growing in those areas later on?
Sending lots of good vibes your way, nonetheless!!
thanks so much, Lil! <33 after taking yesterday and today as a 'breather' I definitely feel better about my role than I did on Friday and overall just feel better about myself now that I've had time to get used to it, but I greatly appreciate your advice and hugs, thank you again <3333
I’m glad!! I hope you have a wonderful show!! definitely update me on how performances and everything goes 😀
oh I absolutely will!! <33 /pos /gen
*HUGGOSSS*
thanks Jacki <33
*hugs* I’ve only really played minor roles and worked in stage crew (my passion!), so I can’t really give advice for the first paragraph.
However, I do see your reasoning for your problems on the last paragraph. As a white from the US who is *strongly* against racism, I can definitely see why you would see Tiger Lily’s portrayal as problematic. If you need to express this concern to the directors, go ahead!
*Warning: This information came from a stupid privileged white person who knows nothing so take all of this information with a grain of salt
I appreciate the hugs and advice, Lion, thanks a bunch <33
*hugs*
I can relate, since a couple of years ago, I got in the school play of my elementary school, and I expected to get a lead role cuz (I think at least) I’m a pretty good actor, but I got a pretty small role, so I was crushed. But remember, small roles can be important too! For example, I’m in this musical thing now, and I have a pretty small role, but my text and song are so funny, and I think that when the people leave, they will remember this funny background character and how well it was played, so I think if you play your role well and give it everything you have, people will remember you!
aww thanks Fallow! I appreciate the huggles <33
*Hugs*
thanks so much, mapey <33
oof ik this is not rlly what you want to hear, but I feel ya :<
I rlly wanted to get Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka two years ago, and I ended up w Ms. Gloop. It was still super fun, tho! Instead of dwelling on the 'what you could have had', try to embrace the role and have fun w it! Also in school plays, the directors usually don't look at appearances in auditions, (and I would know, 'cause I don't think Trunchbull is 5''2 ;-; ) and you'll be awesome!! Wly flam!!
aw, thanks Lio <333 ilysm my fantabulous friendo <33
*hugs*
thanks a bunch <33
*Hug* Love u Flamey, remember wherever u r I think ur rizz
thanks Sparri! ilyt <33 (and you yourself are also quite skibidi!! :DD)
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* sorry, I don’t have much advice 🙁 that all sounds super upsetting, I hope you feel better <3 /gen
thanks Renda, I really appreciate it!! I definitely feel better about everything now, especially with all of you guys’ support and positivity <33
*hugs* *hugs*
congrats on tiger lily (and on katherine earlier – i assume from newsies? loveee that part)
im sorry u didnt get the role u wanted. i def can relate, this happens to me *all* the time, and ur definitely NOT an awful person just for wanting a big role!! i bet u’ll have sm fun!
i can’t speak too much on tiger lily’s origins as a native american character, but maybe ask ur director if there’s anything u can do about changing small things? i know her songs are “brave girl dance” and “uggawugg” and i know they are both pretty grossly stereotypical (especially “uggawugg”, but maybe u could research for substitutions? the more sensitive song “true blood brothers” was used in lieu of “uggawugg” in a 2014 film version, so maybe u could ask about that? or at least just let them know if ur ever uncomfortable with their direction in those songs!
lastly, remember being in a smaller part / ensemble is the most imporant part of the cast! i know this might be a bit cliche since directors love to say this, but it’s rly true! without great actors in its smaller roles, a show could never succeed. + don’t worry about not making it to broadway just because of a (slightly) smaller part! u are so so talented! i bet the directors only gave u a side role this time since u had such a wonderful part last year, and they wanted to spread the wealth if that makes sense!
have a great show C:
*more hugs*
aw thanks fria, I really appreciate it <33

I feel so bad. It’s about something that happened weeks ago, but it’s still haunting me. I told my dad that there are a lot of queer people on the Blog, and then he was like: ‘But people of your age are way too young to be queer’, and it just felt so horrible. I want to tell my mom but I’m scared he’ll hear us and get mad at me, bc my mom knows I like girls but my dad doesn’t, and after this I really don’t want him to know
*Hugs* Sounds hard.
*hugs* i’m sorry, that sounds hard </3
*hugs* I’ve been in that exact same position and it’s really tough. If you really want to tell your mom, can you do so when the two of you are alone together, so he doesn’t overhear?
*hugs* that sounds really hard <3
You could ask your dad how old he was when he found out he was straight, though I’m not sure that would be a good idea.
that’s hilarious lmao
Hi Li Li, as you could tell if you read the comment, Fallow is in a tough situation right now, and that saying it’s hilarious isn’t a very good response to that. You can have your feelings, just make sure you’re still regarding other people’s emotions <3
I think she was just saying that my comment was hilarious, not Fallow’s situation.
Thanks, Rosefern <3 I didn’t really mind but I'm happy that you want to support me <3
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was replying to WhiteWhiskers, not Fallow’s original situation. I understand the severity of Fallow’s situation and I definitely don’t mean to come off as rude <33
(btw are you using a phone or small-screen device? on mobile it might look like I'm replying to the original comment when I'm actually replying to a reply. this confuses me a lottt)
*Hugs* You should still talk to your mom about, but if your not comfortable with your dad knowing, then ask your mom not to tell him
*Hugs*
*HUGGOS*
*hugs* Maybe talk to your mum about it?
*Hugs* sorry and good luck
I realized I forgot to reply before, sorry 🙁 anyways that sounds like a tough situation, hope you figure it out ⠐⠔⠓⠥⠛⠎⠐⠔
*hugs*
soooo, you may have seen on the pawsitivity page that my crush invited me to his house today…so, he promised to ask his mom to get my mom’s contact info and make plans, and we had already decided 4-7 pm would work, and…we never got a text. it’s 6:30 pm as i’m writing this. idk, ik he probably just forgot or maybe his mom wouldn’t let him invite a girl over, but it just makes me feel kinda bummed and betrayed…ik this is nothing compared to what some people on this page have to go through so ignore this if you want to, it’s not rlly a big deal ig
*hugs* I’m sorry Holz, that really sucks :(( I doubt he forgot though, something else probably came up or his parents wouldn’t let him. Try asking him about it? Odds are something else got in the way. And don’t feel bad about posting here, that’s what this page is for!
*hugss* that must feel horrible, holzy, I’m really sorry <33
*hugs*
*hugs* im so sorry about that, holz <33
I’m very sorry about that Holz, that must feel awful 🙁 Sending hugs ur way!
*hugs* i’m sorry about that holz 🙁 and like redz said, don’t feel bad about commenting here 🙂
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugs* as someone who gets irked if someone is even a minute late I can completely understand. <33333
*hugs*
sorry for le long rant moddos
I feel so dumb :<
I've always been the smartest kid and still get really good grades n all but it's like everyone is so ahead now. It would be easier if I was good at something, like really good at something. I feel like a jack-of-all-trades and I’m interested in so much stuff but never really spend much time on anything at all.
My friend Lostpaw (she chose that name lol) is winning first place and second place in difficult cello competitions and even my younger sister consistently wins medals in dance, and they practice daily for up to three hours whereas I can’t focus for longer than an hour at a time. And no wonder they’re so good at math; they take math classes out of school that are basically a grade above grade level. Lostpaw is literally doing geometry out of school and I’m still doing Algebra I. (we’re in seventh grade)
I find it incredibly difficult to focus and do what I’m supposed to, to actually work hard towards a goal without wanting to distract myself, since I never needed to growing up. And now I’m paying the price for it because now my classmates are good at stuff and I’m just mediocre in everything. The worst part about it, is that Lostpaw is even more distracted and disorganized than I am. She plays Genshin Impact for an hour every day and yet she still manages to succeed while I can’t.
I’m hoping to win regionals and maybe nationals for a really prestigious writing contest and I’m hoping to get into my school’s Science Bowl team (only 5 members compete) but the only things I’m really interested in are chemistry and physics, which is kind of lame because 1) I haven’t really learned anything yet and I just know it’s “kind of interesting,” 2) that’s going to change in a week because my interests flux so often and 3) I’m too young to really focus on it and I’m just banking on taking AP classes in high school.
All the things I used to be so good at are being taken over by the people who can invest time into their activities. I can’t choose one thing to invest my time in.
hugs plez?
*hugss*
*hugs*
*hugs* this is so relatable. a lot of supposedly “gifted” kids have this problem. all my friends are smart. my friend rosepaw is three grades ahead of our level, and i’m only one grade ahead. plus, she does swimming, sparring, and is even in the local college math program. my friend bellpaw is amazing at language arts, math, plays cello, got into a high school soccer team, and bakes amazingly. i could give more examples, but i’m too lazy to type it all out 😛
yet me, here, who’s above average in all subjects, but is not exactly “amazing” at anything. i think the problem is that a lot of people were raised being told that they were “gifted”, and always thought that they should excel at something, or, even everything. then as you get older, you realize that the “gifted” label people slapped onto you is just a label and only a label.
sadly as a fellow “gifted” student, i’m here to tell you that you’re enough. that sounded really cheesy, but it’s true. think about all you’ve accomplished already. when i’m down, i remind myself: i’m among top 20 in my grade. i have hobbies. my grades are awesome. i have amazing friends.
i guarantee you that you’re good at something. everyone is. it doesn’t have to be academically related. you can have a fast comprehension. good reflexes. easily come up with ideas. think outside the box and i promise you that you’ll find something amazing about you 🙂 i hope this helped <3
sorry for the long comment lol
*hugs* Aww that must be hard. Just take your time to choose the best one Lili ^^
*Hugs*
*hugs* I definitely relate to the changing interests bit, but I don’t have any advice really.
Ok it’s been a while since I’ve been on the blog and a lot has changed so I need some hugs/edible emojis pls
-I think I have depression
-Four of my friends, I have no classes or sports with and I feel like we’re growing apart
-I definitely have cynophobia (fear of dogs) but I’m too scared to tell anybody
-I always get nauseous (which I think might be a symptom of depression) whenever I try to eat
-I started getting really insecure about my singing voice which sucks because I love singing and musical theater
-I suddenly SUCK at cross country even tho I was really good last year
-Other tiny stuff that adds up to a lot
And 🍉🥐🧀🧇🥞🥓🍕🍱🍨🍿🍫🍰🥧🍦🍭🧃🧋🍩🍪🧈🥖🥯🍓 to and lots of hugs to everyone on here
*hugs* That sounds like a lot to deal with all at once :((
1. Can you talk to an adult and get therapy?
2. That really sucks, but matbe you can still keep in touch with them outside of school?
3. There’s nothing wrong with being afraid of dogs, it’s actually pretty common! Try telling your parents or close frinds you can trust?
4. See #1
5. Try not to stress about it too much! If you like singing, sing! (And be glad you can sing at all because every time I try I sound like a dying whale.)
6. No advice, sorry
7. Honestly, it’s often worse to have a lot of little things going on then one bigger thing, try to focus on the little good things too!
I can’t do emojis on my ereader, so [insert all the delicious food emojis you could ever eat here]
Tysm!!!!!!

*HUGGGS* I can relate to the eating thing, even though I don’t think I’ll get depression. Here are some cookies when you don’t feel nervous eating:
🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*Hugs*
*hugs*
1. I’d definitely recommend talking to a trusted adult.
2. Maybe try to keep in contact and catch up with them outside of school?
3. Same advice as number 1.
4. Again, same as 1
5. If you love singing, then sing. Try not to let the insecurities get the better of you.
6. Cross Country is hard 😕
7. ♾️ hugs
