Is this weird?
So... To try to not want to self harm, I have been trying the rubber band technique. I'm scared to do it in school, when I want to scratch myself because of it making noise. What should I do?

Ideally you should have some UNDERSTANDING support
to help you express and get through the difficult and overwhelming EMOTIONS and THOUGHTS: which can lead to the self harm.
Until I had that^^^
I was just going at it.
I also had no idea how many do self harm
and that it was in fact a normal response to some very not NORMAL and TRAUMATIC things, that had happened to me, when I was a kid and going forward.
I hope you can find therapy, a support group, and so on.
Self harming, is a coping mechanism for a LOT OF PAIN.
However, we still continue because it was so useful and we have not learned skills which help us to NOT self harm.
Pay no mind to the non believers, and the cold hearted cynics.
Let them be.

I usually fidget when i feel overwhelmed,it doesn't make much noise.Or draw it out,socialize,imagine a peaceful scene,focus on a book....

@ghostdolly: I fidget when nervous. Can't draw, don't really have friends. Book may be the only thing on that list that could help, unless the teacher is talking.

@fluteacorn: You don't need to be good at drawing though...draw stick figures?Yeah school makes it even harder,i know..Daydreaming& talking to myself(not aloud) helps me in class.

@ghostdolly: I can't even draw stick figures.
