Hurtful tweets, Horrendous behavior and Horrible Hopkins


So Katie Hopkins yet again uses her unavoidable power within the media to slating people with mental health. These tweets are just two of the unneeded and shocking tweets that I have seen today.

Why would anyone allow this attention seeker to post such disgusting things?  In my opinion, she is a major hypocrite, "self-obsession" yet she posted an appalling tweet about someone committing suicide, but focuses on herself rather than the person who took their own life. It is absolutely sickening to read.  This may or may not have struggled with their own mental health issues and the only way they could cope is to take their own life. It is must be very difficult for someone to do this, yet Katie chooses to slate their last memory by posting in on twitter.
This tweet is an example of just how vile and dreadful her behaviour is over twitter. She is unprofessional and an example of unwanted media coverage.

Do the media really need to focus on this one individual? There are other pressing matters in the world than Katie Hopkins.




One of the main reasons for the blog post is that she is a prime example of stigma around mental health. She is not qualified to comment on depression or any other mental illnesses.

She is just undermining a minority of people who struggle each day with this and who need support not slander.  People are not willing to talk about their problems or open up to anyone because of a tweet like this. Those who are struggling need to know they are able to talk about their illness and not have to look at social media to tweets like this! I may be one person with one opinion, but so is Katie. She may get media attention, numerous amounts of favourites or retweets, But she is still one person with one opinion. There are thousands of other people who do not agree with her opinions or tweets.


I do agree that not everyone has depression, but one of my problems right now is these type of tweets. I am choosing to own my problems by doing this post. Unless she knows someone who has depression or experiencing first-hand someone dealing with depression, then she has no right to comment. This group of people deal with these types of problems on a day-to-day basis. She is just badmouthing mental health and she is acting just like a child craving attention.

Katie is just ridiculous, how on earth would anyone think having depression is fashionable? When some many people are trying to hide their problems so no one is aware what they are going through.

Clearly, people are struggling with their mental health that they need to have medication to help cope with their lives. So why does she need to state the facts and figures when we need to focus on treating the illness, helping those who are struggling and stop the stigma which there is within this society.

  Here are the two lowest and the most atrocious tweets she posted. Running may help someone cope with their mental health, but it does not mean the mental health is going to vanish. It still exists, it is something someone deals with and it is something which should be more recognized. The medication helps saves someone's life, it helps them keep going every day and no matter what anyone says mental health is something they have gone through. If they are feeling suicidal or willing to take their own life, then they obviously need advice, care and ways of dealing with their problems.



People with mental health are not attention seekers, people just need guidance and serious understanding to make sure that anyone's life is not in danger. I have HUGE respect for anyone in the job roles which help support and help anyone coping with mental health. I could not be more grateful for those who recognizes mental health issues and tries to look after anyone who needs it. Unlike Katie, there is a majority people who see depression as a problem which needs to be accepted and not overlooked.


For parents who agree with what Katie is tweeting then you should be ashamed. Here is a tip for anyone of those parents. Because your child or children may suffer from a mental health issue, so you need to more aware and compassionate. Do not let Katie undermine a pressing concern throughout the UK and the world.

Mental health is important, it could be understood, diagnosed and cared for in the most appropriate way.  Katie's tweets are vulgar and unethical, therefore it should be ignored. People with mental health issues like depression are just trying to live a normal life.




Everyone has their own battles, everyone has their own mental health issues, but not everyone is willing to talk about it. Do you why? Because people like Katie still exist in the world. I have anxiety and I am willing to speak about it! Not for the attention, not to be recognized, but for people with mental health problems, to help stop the stigma towards mental health. I am speaking about my mental health to help save the lives of those who can't cope with their own and to help spread the message to break the stigma, I am speaking up if anyone who is struggling. You are not alone, there is people going through the same issues you are experiencing and feelings. Mental health is something to be spoken about and not ignored.




Katie Hopkins is just an attention seeker who needs blocking on all social media!
