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.
