It is a research that involves psychoanalysis and the field of education as a possible work of the institutional clinic. From the case studies of a private school in Fortaleza, the following aspects are discussed: self-harm and effects in school, socio-familial conflicts and adolescents subjectivation process. It is concluded that from a qualified listening in the school it is possible to give voice to the adolescents so that they can produce a knowledge about themselves, and in their way to sustain their malaise.

Keywords : self-mutilation; adolescence; school; psychoanalysis.
