I dont know about other countries having the same rise in self harm. I still stand by that the rise of social media is to blame for the increased pressure and self esteem issues in teenage girls and young adult women. Young people are on their phones constantly, checking their facebook/twitter/Instagram accounts. It's insane. I heard a podcats a few months ago where the host interviewed a girl who was a senior in high school and she talks about the influences of social media. I'll post it here when I get around to looking for it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
