Answers:
Habitual eating of non-food items is called "pica".
"Background: Pica is an eating disorder typically defined as the persistent eating of nonnutritive substances for a period of at least 1 month at an age in which this behavior is developmentally inappropriate (eg, >18-24 mo). The definition occasionally is broadened to include the mouthing of nonnutritive substances. Individuals presenting with pica have been reported to mouth and/or ingest a wide variety of nonfood substances, including, but not limited to, clay, dirt, sand, stones, pebbles, hair, feces, lead, laundry starch, vinyl gloves, plastic, pencil erasers, ice, fingernails, paper, paint chips, coal, chalk, wood, plaster, light bulbs, needles, string, and burnt matches."
Treatment emphasizes psychosocial, environmental, and family guidance approaches.

it's not bad for you, but it's not good for you either. it wont do you any harm, but your stomache acids cant break it down. so it's kinda like swallowing gum, it doesn't really do anything
Its good as long as the paper does not have any glue behind it.
it is really bad because eating paper will cause you nothing so as early as now stop eating paper because who knows you can get a disease in eating paper.
your body will not be able to digest. in little amts it won't do harm. just don't eat too much though.
