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
I need to rant about some things. So basically, about a day or two before winter break, one of my friends told me he had a crush on me. He’s an athiest and I’m a Christian, so it’s in my beliefs to not date or take romantic interest in other religions/beliefs so I had to reject him. He then proceeded to MOCK Christianity and say things really hurtful to my beliefs. After, he made fun of my brother who is in the hospital. He said things about him passing away and laughed about it. I told him I needed some space from him, and we haven’t spoken since.
Hugs/advice?
Okay, I’m here again needing some hugs :’) there’s been quite a bit of drama in a new friend group (not gonna explain as this won’t be modded if I do so + i want to keep this comment reasonably short) and I’m having to make a decision whether or not I want to apply for moderator on a different website (i fear for my mental health-) I’ve also been having a bit of social anxiety and my mom keeps pressuring me (not on purpose) to change my personality. Hugs and cookies appreciated ^^
*hugs* If you think it’d be bad for your mental health, I think it’s better if you don’t become a mod on that website :))
*hugss*
I hope everything works out, Silvs. You have a lovely personality you don’t need to alter at all and I hope you do whatever is best for your mental health. Feel free to reach out to me if you need someone to talk to 🙂
[email protected]
*sends hugs and cookies* First of all, friend drama is the worst, and I hope it gets better soon. If you think being a mod on the other site would be bad for your mental health, then I’d recommend not taking the position. And please don’t feel like you ever have to change your personality for anyone. You have a great personality, and you shouldn’t have to change who you are for any reason.
HUGS Silverstorm! I hope you feel better soon. Feel free to talk to me about it anytime on my chatting page!
*hugss* I agree with Fallowsy; if you think it would be bad for you mental health, you shouldn’t apply. :))
not going to elaborate but a had a somewhat trashy day today for various reasons and would like some hugs 😐
*Hugggsss* Hope you feel better soon Shimmz <3
*hugsss* hopr you’ll feel better soon, Shimmz <33

Hi everyone! Not too serious but I’d appreciate some hugs. I’ve been having some trouble with my grades – my parents are really mad. I got a B+, it’s not that deep!
Ur totally right! U tried ur best, and I’ll do better next time 😄 Hugssss!

*hugs*
*hugs*
HUGS Shimmz! B+ is an amazing grade!
*hugs* A B+ is really good!
So… I just found out the other day that I have RSD. It’s happened a lot of times in the past but I only realised it after I searched it up, after I got really upset when my ballet teacher (I’m not exactly a ballerina or anything I’m just miserably failing Grade 3 😛) told me I needed to do my hair differently for the classes. Any normal person would be like “oh okay” and then do their hair different for the next class. But I was literally fighting back tears, and I really wish I didn’t have RSD.
Just need some hugs please 🥺
*hugs hugs hugssss* I’m sorry Sorrels <33
*hugsss* I’m sorry Sorrels, that sounds tough :((
*hugsss*
I’m sorry, that sounds tough :(( maybe counselling could help you cope?
I’m sorry, I don’t have any advice but as always, warm hugs ❤️
Hugsssssssssssssssssssss Sorrel
sending hugs <33
Hey sorrel! Hugs, maybe you can look into counseling or something. I hope you feel better soon.
HUGS Sorrelpaw! I’m sorry!
*hugs* I’m sorry, that sounds rough :((
*HUGGGGGS*
*hugs* and cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
this isn’t something that especially happened recently, it’s just been bothering me for a long time so i’m gonna rant here 🙁
so I’m sure some of you have heard the “last one there is gay!” thing.
it really frustrates me how these kids just say it like in place of “a rotten egg” or whatever. LGBTQ+ people are valid, it’s not something you can just say like that. so what if you’re gay? you are a valid human with feelings, being a part of the LGBTQ+ community does not make you less human, it doesn’t mean you deserve less. although I myself am not gay (i’m a straight demigirl), I fully support LGBTQ+ people and it just irritates me how they just say that. maybe I shouldn’t take it so seriously, but it still bothers me :(( not just in this case, but how these people are treated in general upsets me.
sorry for taking your time, thanks for reading :3
It is so annoying, my brother does it all the time and I’m like STOP ALREADY
absolutely agreed people just suck sometimes man
i agree 1000% ferny, it’s disrespectful, rude, and straight up hurtful. that’s one of the things that I will never understand–like, why is gay an insult? it’s so very hurtful and it really degrades the lgbtqia+ community.
but what i do? i freaking own it. me and my friend jaguarpelt (both in the lgbtqia+ community) were in class, and a popular song came on while the sub was playing some music. mid-song, we’re all singing along, this kid hollers ‘keep singing if you’re gay’ and me and my friend just keep singing 😛 admittedly if we were straight that probably wouldn’t have been our first instinct but the look of shock on the kids’ face was priceless 😛
lol nice XD
*hugs*
*hugs*
As an aroaceflux lesbian, this upsets me a lot too :(( The only good thing is, I believe they usually don’t say it bc they hate on LGBTQ+, but more bc it’s basically become a term to use for that kinda stuff now unfortunately :((
HUGS Ferny! That’s totally understandable!
You’re 100% right about all that.
Yes, I hate this too. 🙁 (I’m a lesbian girl). My science teacher is lesbian too, and I’m quite sure that if she was any “softer” with my class, they would bully her. 🙁 Fortunately, she has a personality that tolerates no crap, and I really admire her.
If somebody says:”The last person to get there is gay,” I walk as slowly as possible. I want to be proud of who I am, but this can be hard when my classmates are like that
🙁
100% agreed.
*hugsss* Yeah, it is really upsetting to hear gay people being spoken down to or treated as inferior like that. Just remember there are plenty of people who support the LGBTQ community and the rudeness of a few doesn’t summarize the rest of the world <33 there are plenty of kind people ❤️
*hugsss* I agree, tbh I don’t even think the concept of LGBTQ+ should exist. I mean, in the end, we’re all just people. There shouldn’t be a difference between gay people and straight people, and the same applies to different gender identities. It’s like having names for people with different favorite colors, it’s just unnecessary.
(To clarify, I didn’t mean I don’t think queer people should exist, what I meant is that there shouldn’t be a difference between them and non-queer people)
*hugs*
I know I already posted this on the Tavern and it’s not really a hugs situation except for the fact that I am sooo mad at myself (:P) but I’m copy and pasting it
Okay everyone this is going to sound sad but I was scrolling around BlogClan and found a short fanfic contest on a secret page. The theme was Lion x Heather, and I said I was going to do it, and I am, but I can’t find it anymoreeeee >:(
Oh, that’s me! Here it is! https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/harestar-1-jpg/
Thanks! ^^
It seems like Shrubz has gave you the link! I’m glad that’s been resolved <33 have fun writing the story!
Have fun writing :DD
I need some hugs.
Basically let’s just say that this guy in my friend group admitted he liked me and then when I rejected him, mocked my Christianity and my brother in the hospital.
I haven’t talked to him since and its rly awkward
*hugs and cookies*
HUGS Wolfpaw! I’m sorry, you deserve better!
*hugs* That was really unkind of him, you deserve better <33
*hugs* i’m sorry he’s being so unkind, you don’t deserve that :((
*hugsss*
You made the right choice. No good guy would react that way after being rejected; it’s clear that boy’s fragile ego just couldn’t take the rejection so he decided it to try and make it your problem. Ignore him; the only reason he resorted to insulting you was to patch up his wounded pride, and that’s kind of pathetic. You deserve better!! <3
*hugsss* that’s not in any way okay, like bro is giving Ashfur vibes what the fluffity fluff >:0 I’m so sorry he did that to you!! <33
*hugs* you were right to reject him: dodged a bullet right there. he sounds absolutely awful and you deserve better.
*hugs* He was being a jerk, which wasn’t entirely right so don’t listen to him 🙂
*hugs* 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 he shouldn’t mock your religion and sick/injured brother that’s just wrong and he is clearly not a good guy, I would give him some time to cool off for a while then try to talk to him and discover why he acted so rashly but I would still try to stop being friends with him but don’t act like that back to him, try to act like he’s just another classmate. If he mocks you and makes fun of you he clearly doesn’t like you as he said and is probably very toxic. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Hey guys, I’ve had a flip-flop day today. I didn’t have a great day at school and when I told my mum about it, she said I was being too sensitive. Then things started looking up again this evening, only for her to reduce my tablet screen time and call me annoying :/ Hugs?
*hugs*
HUGS Shrubsy! That was totally unfair of her, maybe she was just having a bad day and took it out on you because unfortunately that’s what people tend to do.
*hugs* I’m sorry, Shrubsy (can I call you that?) that was super unfair of her.
I’m feeling much better now, tysm to the people who gave hugs! :DD
*hugsss*
I’m sorry. Your feelings are valid, you aren’t too sensitive. I hope tomorrow is better ❤️❤️
*hugsss* I’m sorry, Hartsy, that sucks :/
*hugs* Maybe you’re mom just had a long day? Don’t entirely listen to her 😛
*hugs*
Hi. I know I’ve posted recently, but I once more require hugs. I just had my English test and I don’t think I did well. I’m scared of seeing my grades and I am worried that my parents will be angry. Send hugs please
Hugs, sometimes I think I’m going to fail a test because I didn’t fully pay attention, but I ended up doing fine! Cookies straight out of the oven for u: 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Just scrolling through and Runningpaw (he’s my brother if you didn’t know) said he likes your pfp, mostly the eyes, and I’m bored so I decided to post his comment lol
*HUGS* and some cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*hugs*
*hugs*
*hugsss*
All that matters is that you tried your best. I hope you got the results you wan, though!
HUGS Shimmz, I’m sorry!
*hugss* I’m sure you did well!! <33
Hey hey y’all! I posted recently on the hug page but I need a few more. I just had my English assessment and I think I did bad. I’m scared of my grades and I’m worried that my parents will be mad. Please send hugs.
*hugs*
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
*hugsss* <333
*hugs and cookies* It’s unchangable now so dw, also maybe try talking with your parents?
Not a big issue, but my economics teacher keeps mispronouncing my irl name and it’s really annoying. I don’t like most shortened/mispronounced versions of my name, and it’s not even a terribly hard name to pronounce. He’s literally removing an entire syllable from my name (to make matters worse the syllable is a vowel) and I’ve tried correcting him but he keeps getting it wrong. It also doesn’t look like anybody else’s name is being misspoken either. ://
Hugs/advice?
*hugs* Keep correcting him! It’s your name, and you choose how it’s said. If he won’t stop you could ask a parent to talk to him?
*hugs*
*hugss*
I understand how frustrating that is. Maybe send him an email about it, with links to sites that will teach him how to properly pronounce your name?
HUGS Breezy!
*hugs* Breezo, I’m so sorry. That’s really frustrating. I have a unique name IRL, and people have mispronounced my name all the time, so I totally understand how annoying it can be. My advice to you is to talk to the teacher in private and say something along the lines of “Hey, Mr. teacher. I wanted to let you know that *insert correct name pronunciation here* is how your pronounce my name, not *insert how he’s been saying your name*”
You are an amazing person Breeze!! Ilysm have an amazing day <33
*hugss* I’m sorry, Breezo :/
*hugs* Let’s hope that was an accident, but if you don’t like it just remind him until he can’t forget :P?
Thank you guys! The issue has been resolved and he’s working on pronouncing my name correctly. :))
hey bloggos so the semester is ending where I live and I’m super worried for my gpa since I have a C in math and I dont want it to bring down my gpa because my parents are super invested in grades
hugs would be great
*hugs* All that matters is that you did your best!
*hugs*
*hugsss*
Though it may be hard to believe this, especially if you have parents who are strict about grades, but all that matters is trying your best <3333 I'm sure you did amazingly!
HUGS Drifter!
*hugss* I understand you’re nervous <33 Just remember you did your best!!
thank you everyone for the kind words and hugs!!
*hugs and cookies* Sry for getting a bad grade
hugs* Just know that you are way more than your grades and scores <33
