There are signs, behaviours that act as 'red flags' to warn that all is not well. Most serial killers, no matter their geographical location or social standing, the warning signs are pretty constant.
Bed wetting even into the early teens. Fire starting. Cruelty to animals, even their own pets. Trouble in school or with peers. Telling lies or stealing. If children have these behaviours it does not mean they will grow up to be killers. But any of the above problems may not just be 'kids being kids'. Ted Bundy, when he was a pre-schooler, took all the kitchen knives and layed them on the bed where his aunt was sleeping. When she woke up, she was surrounded by knives pointed toward her and little Teddy smiling down at her.
It is hard to tell whether this upset the other family members, but I can imagine it must have raised some eyebrows, since it was remembered decades after it happened. The Son of Sam, David Berkowitz, was big on starting fires. He confessed that he had started hundreds of fires as a teen. Jeffrey Dahmer would kill animals and mount their heads on stakes in the woods by his home.
Hindsight is 20/20, and its always easy to predict something after the fact. But more research needs to be done and hopefully someday we will not only understand the killers but may be able to prevent them from ever killing in the first place.

There is no foolproof way to predict if someone will become a serial killer, as it is a complex and multifaceted behavior. However, certain red flags such as a history of violent behavior, cruelty to animals, and a lack of empathy or remorse can indicate a higher risk. It is important to seek help from mental health professionals if you are concerned about someone's behavior.

∙ 14y agoMost criminal profilers can agree on theses 'warning signs'.
May have a parent that has anti-social behaviors
May torture animals
May start fire
May come from a dysfunctional home.
May have had an abusive parent.
May have been a 'bed wetter'
A person may have all of these or maybe just one. Or they may put their own 'twist' on some. We are all individuals. Killers are too. There are a couple more behaviors that I think merit a mention:
peeping-This can be innocent curiosity or can be a sign of a disturbed mind. Not to be ignored.
Taking women's clothing (usually underware). This could or could not go with the peeping. This could be a big red flag. Maybe not a killer but possibly a serial rapest.

Im addicted ot self harm what should i do if i dont want to tell anyone about it?
The most favorable solution IS to tell someone about your problem. It may be an adult you trust (teacher, pastor, parent, friend's parent, etc), or your local mental health center or hospital. They can guide you through the necessary steps to get away from harmful behavior. If you absolutely connot tell someone, then the next best thing is to occupy yourself elsewhere when the urge arises to hurt yourself. Talk on the phone with someone, play a game, read a book, watch a movie, write about how you feel. Anything that takes your mind off of the current thoughts will help you forget about them. And, as with any addiction, the longer you're away from the source, the easier it becomes.
