I don't think a T should be saying that you are doing it for attention unless he/she has a good reason. Is it a T that said that to you? Is it your family? If so, then it could be that they don't know how to deal with your behavior. Is it a guidance counselor? I don't think guidance counselors tend to know what to do it that situation. I hope you find someone that can deal with your behavior in a calm and safe manner for you to talk to and help you work through it. Good luck.
