Comparative Study of the Guidance Needs of Secondary School Students

Guidance was originally centered on problems related to vocations for young people. Adolescents who were not in school, had nothing to do, indulged in various activities resulted in delinquency. To reduce delinquency, an effort was made with guidance which aimed at choice of job suited to the abilities and needs of the adolescents. The chief guidance responsibility of society is towards children and youth. Guidance functions whenever choices are made and even when there is no choice, it helps the individual to understand and accept the situation. It is not only needed in crisis situations but throughout the life for personality development. Guidance which comes in just by the way as life goes is informal guidance; the guidance for achievement in our day-to-day life is incidental guidance. The specific form of guidance with a purpose is the formal guidance which helps the individual to find a solution to problem.
