Abstract

The satisfaction of the consultation demand in schools is essential and urgent to indirectly prevent negative behaviors of students when they cannot control themselves, thereby helping students regulate their emotions and behaviors, and guide them to make appropriate directions and choices and improve their situation in a positive direction. The research surveyed 450 students at high schools in Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap province. Research findings show that high school students have quite high consultation demand with a variety of different demands that need to be satisfied. However, reality shows that students do not have access to consultation activities to satisfy their demand due to being influenced by many subjective and objective factors. This requires practical solutions to satisfy students' consultation demand.
