Summary/Abstract: Adolescence is a key age for acquiring and maintaining positive lifestyle habits. Identifying what adolescents perceive as their lifestyle and exploring the factors dictating their decisions to engage in or avoid positive and negative lifestyle behaviors could improve the educators’ ability to influence the adolescents’ choices through formal, non-formal, and informal strategies, and modify negative behaviors. The concept of education in formal, non-formal, and informal contexts in a lifelong learning perspective is crucial for adolescents, because this ought to be one of the solutions intended to improve their lifestyle and to encourage individuals’ responsibility for a constant expansion of their own social, intellectual, and cultural capital.
