What does “the feet the wrong way round in the toilet cubicle” mean?
Teenage angst is hardly new. It is simply exacerbated by the conditions in which we live: relentless social media, exam stress, economic disenfranchisement and a sense that the world is on its last legs. None of this is a recipe for good mental health. Indeed, distress is all around us. Just ask teachers. The long sleeves covering the cuts, the feet the wrong way round in the toilet cubicle, the teeth brushing; these things afflict so many girls. The annual Children’s Society Report confirms this. It is an intelligent, multifaceted report that understands how disadvantage itself is complex.
I’m not quite sure what “The long sleeves covering the cuts, the feet the wrong way round in the toilet cubicle, the teeth brushing; these things afflict so many girls” means.
I'm thinking some girls cut themselves as a way to be cool or to get some kind of satisfaction from hurting themselves... am I correct? As to the rest of the sentence I'm completely lost. What does "the feet the wrong way round in the toilet cubicle, the teeth brushing" mean? Are these ways people hurt themselves or be bullied by others?
Could someone help me interpret this sentence? Thanks!!

Certainly not with regard to being cool. Self-harm behavior is a recognized mental disorder. And by the way, it is not restricted to girls or to teenagers.
