Feelings of insecurity can influence an individual's self-assessment and their confidence in meeting academic and social demands. This study aimed to describe the levels of insecurity among students at SMKN 10 Makassar to serve as a basis for determining their guidance and counseling needs. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 116 eleventh-grade students. Data were collected using an insecurity questionnaire covering four aspects: fear of failure and criticism, fear of social interaction, ability to assert oneself, and ability to say no. The data were analyzed using frequency distributions and percentages. The results revealed that 13.79% of the students fell into the low category, 58.62% into the moderate category, and 27.59% into the high category; thus, 86.21% of the students fell within the moderate-to-high range. These findings indicate that the majority of students experience moderate to high levels of insecurity, highlighting the need to address their psychological development through guidance and counseling services tailored to their specific needs.
