  INTRODUCTION
Meaning of guidance according to the difference scholars
According to (Rao, 2008)   Guidance is the assistance given to individuals to make intelligence choice and adjustments. It based on the conception that it is duty and the right of every Individual to choose his or her own way of life as long as his or her choice does not interfere with others.
According to Encarta World English Dictionary, (1999). Counseling is a process of helping of personal problems or psychological matters usually given by a professional while guidance is leadership or direction and advice given to students especially in academic matters.
According to Ipaye (1983); Guidance as a generic label, an umbrella term that covers all the means whereby an instruction identifies and responds to the needs of pupils or students no matter the nature of the need and no matter its sources thereby helping the child to develop to his/her maximum potential
Counseling, is   the process which involves bringing about sequential changes over a period of time leading  to a set goal ( Rao,2008) This definition stress  that the counselor –counselee relationship Is not casual ,matter  of  fact and business  like but that it is characterized by warmth ,responsiveness and understanding. It requires the special knowledge, skills, experience and perspectives .Also the goal of counseling is to help individuals overcome their immediate problems and also to equip them to meet future problems.

  Weakness
Confidentiality. Clients expect their secrets or privileged information to be kept secret or confidential and not exposed to others. However, referral agents such as teachers, peers, parents, and principals expect counsellors to divulge such information to them. Failure of the counsellor to reveal the ‘secret’ may raise the degree of suspicion of his activities. Revealing the secrets lead to loss of faith in counselling and counsellors on one part will lose clients and friends of such clients and counselling will be the big loser on the long run. Yet, all these are happening


It based much on (youth). Based much on this age in that process of counseling and guiding, leaving behind the other age  ranges while in reality challenges  faces  any  age of human being development  that means all ages requires guidance and counseling. He proved weakness on dealing much with   youth rather than other groups of age like young and adult ones
Integrity of counsellors. Some school personnel still see the counsellors as having a ‘hidden agenda’ or something to hide when a client goes into the counselling room (where this is available). Some give counsellors negative or derogatory labels. This is more so where the other workers doubt the moral integrity of counsellors who give individual counselling to young ones. This feeling becomes more serious when a male counsellor treats female students and gives the interaction high confidentiality, yet, counselling demand reasonable privacy.

The author based on how to solve problems in education field; we can consider when bases on the solution to solve the problems of poverty .Man i<s the ling creature who find his or her own existence a problem which supposes to solve and from which he or she cannot escape, so the problem may arise in the developmental process of personality.
CONCLUSION                 
 Guidance and counseling given in the book and also even other discipline   of our study so the knowledge of counseling as a great source of  development and avoiding bad decision of a certain individual about his or her problems  because as we know the guidance and counseling is a continuous process of life  and so on . Government and all education stake holders to aware about this subject in to save the majority of students who are leaving schools because they lack guidance and counseling.

International Law

    International Law The body of law that governs the legal relations between or among states or nations.To qualify as a subject under the traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government, and the ability to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not considered subjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligations under international law. so there are two types of international law which are public and private international law. Public International Law: Public International laws have been designed to examine the relationships between the countries and states and they govern the binding rules of the international community to avoid any dispute.
