Our study focuses on application of the SEIQoL Method for investigating perceptions of quality of life by learners attending lower secondary schools. Our results indicate that the method mentioned above corresponds to the level of thinking of older learners (14-15 years of age). Younger learners (11-12 years of age) consider difficult to imagine their future and to generalize what they perceive as important in their lives. The structure of quality of life indicators corresponds to the age of respondents, and is also influenced by the urban or rural environment, in which the adolescents live.
