INTRODUCTION
The adolescent phase is a transitional phase from childhood to adulthood and is characterized by physical, social and emotional changes (Paramitasari & Alfian, 2012). The problem that often arises in this phase is that adolescents are very vulnerable to the influence of negative things such as smoking, drinking, substance abuse, and engaging in casual sex.
Adolescent development tasks related to social adjustment include adjustment by increasing peer group influence, changes in social behavior, new social groupings in completing friendships, new values in support, and social problems (Hurlock, 2003). The stages of adolescent development as one of the tasks of human development also have a role, one of which is as a helper (prosocial behavior).
Prosocial behavior is any form of behavior that has positive consequences for the recipient, whether in material, physical, or psychological form but does not have a clear advantage for the owner (Baron et al., 2006). The type of relationship between individuals is good because they like it, feel obliged, have selflessness and empathy are factors that influence prosocial behavior (Myers & Rosenberger, 2012).

Based on the phenomena that exist in community life, especially in adolescents, prosocial behavior is now getting lower. The picture of the decline in prosocial behavior can be seen from the phenomenon of indifferent and passive behavior in adolescents, it can be seen in the behavior shown by adolescents in activities during school such as bullying, bullying their friends, and so on. Social problems that occur in adolescent students lead to anti-social behavior.
Antisocial behavior is a disorder of adjustment to the social environment caused by weak self-control (Taylor et al., 2009). Therefore, students need to be prepared so that they have an understanding of prosiocial behavior so that their awareness of the environment is getting better. One of the appropriate strategies or actions is through providing guidance and counseling services that involve students.

SMPN 30 Surabaya is located in the Medokan
Semampir area of East Surabaya, located in a fairly densely populated village area. There is a zoning system in the admission of students, so that students who attend SMPN 30 are mostly local residents. Based on interviews with several students of SMPN 30 Surabaya, he said that bullying, bullying, and that there were students at SMPN were included in student gangs who were troubling the people of Surabaya. Students who are victims of bullying or victims of bullying do not dare to convey to teachers and parents for fear of being bullied again by the perpetrator. Students who become victims are more comfortable telling their friends about unpleasant incidents than counseling teachers (BK). Counseling services have been carried out by counseling guidance teachers, but they have not involved students.
Based on the above phenomena, it is necessary to develop counseling services carried out by students as peer counselors under the supervision of professional counselors. Peer counseling has an important role to play in promoting discipline among students (Osodo et al., 2016). Taking into account the importance of the role of peers, the development of a positive peer environment is an effective way that can be taken to support adolescent development.
