The data were analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA. The results did not indicate significant differences in students’ level of subjective well-being in terms of gender; however, there were significant differences in terms of their training status and class levels. If it is made possible for the adolescents to be happy by training them to be well and to feel well during their education, the infrastructure will have been prepared for their being successful in both school life and business life. This study aims to focus on identifying such problems and providing concrete suggestions to them.
