The History of Self Harm and cutting?

by Therneee

I was just wondering when self harm came to be and ways it was practiced. Also when did cutting become a thing and would it be so prevalent if the internet was not around? Thank you!

Hey, I just wanted to say that the second half of your question is probably a better fit for /r/AskSocialScience. AskHistorians doesn't deal with the most recent 20 years, and most discussion of the Internet's role in SI/ED behavior would be post-1996.
