This research was motivated by variations in student behavior accompanied by aggressiveness, as well as the not yet optimal role of Guidance and Counseling teachers in providing information services to students at BNKP Telukdalam Christian Private Middle School. This research aims to; 1) describe the level of student aggressiveness before being provided with information services; 2) describe the level of student aggressiveness after being provided with information services; and 3) test the effectiveness of information services in preventing student aggressiveness.
