Methods/Materials We gave out 249 surveys to people of different age, gender, race, ethnicities, and economic stand points in our school. Results From our 249 surveys, results are averaged through each age group and gender. results varied within different gender and age group. Conclusions/Discussion We concluded that the internet has effected self harm and suicide rates. Answers varied through age and gender.

Both genders however, reported evenly that they knew someone who has attempted or thought about self mutilation.
