I self-harm. I have for years off and on. I just went to a meeting at my son's school. They say he is self-harming during class in front of other students. I'm a wreck. I don't want my son to battle with this his whole life like I have battled.
How can I get my son to stop harming himself during class. Then how can I get him to not self-harm at all.
Years ago a therapist asked me if I would be bothered if my son self-harmed. At the time I said no. I said I wouldn't want him to do it, but I would understand why. Now that it is happening, I'm lost.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I was private with my self-harm. I did it and on occasions do it where no one can see. I don't understand his desire or willingness to do it in front of other people. He wants friends, but he doesn't understand self-harming in class is just freaking the other kids out.

We are going to check into how he is dealing with his grandfather's death.
His general doctor thinks this could be what is causing the new behaviors. He had some of them before, but not to the degree he is having them now.
That is absurd that he got in trouble for clearing his throat. I believe it though! I remember how awful my teachers were.
