Parental divorce impacts children's emotional well-being, especially during adolescence. Students who experience divorce are prone to experiencing difficulties in managing emotions, which can affect social and academic behaviour. This study aims to describe emotional regulation among students who experienced divorce at SMAN 10 Tasikmalaya during the 2024/2025 academic year. The method used was a qualitative case study design. The primary data source was students who had experienced divorce, with supporting data from the guidance counsellor and homeroom teacher. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that students have basic emotional regulation skills, but they are not yet optimal, especially in accepting negative emotional responses. Gender differences were also found, with male students accepting the divorce more quickly, while female students tend to suppress their emotions. The conclusion suggests that personal experiences and social support influence students' emotional regulation. The implications of these findings emphasise the importance of group guidance services to build emotional resilience and self-acceptance.
