A necessary condition for the economic and social development of the country is a high level of health of the nation. The state of complete physical, mental and social well-being of a child is one of the most important prerequisites for his successful upbringing, training and adaptation in modern society. In this regard, the education of a healthy lifestyle among minors acquires the importance of an important pedagogical, social and medical problem. The purpose of the study was to increase the level of knowledge of middle-level students of a general education organization on the formation of useful habits. The basis of the study was MEI “General secondary School No. 30 in Vologda”. The study involved 160 students (5-9 grades; 11-15 years old). When identifying the level of students' knowledge about healthy lifestyle habits, only 20 % had a high level. In order to provide practical assistance in the formation of minors' knowledge, skills and abilities, the project “Useful habits are your faithful friends!” was developed, with the help of which the search for the most effective ways of organizing the educational and wellness process in an educational organization and in the family was carried out. Participation in the project contributed to increasing the level of knowledge of students in the field of ideas about useful and harmful habits, developing the necessary skills to preserve their health, improving the quality of work with parents (a high level was found in 60 % of project participants). In this regard, it is necessary to organize special activities for the formation of a healthy lifestyle, the implementation of preventive measures and information about ways to combat bad habits of students of the middle level of a general education organization. This work will help the teenager to develop his moral qualities, to realize himself as a responsible person for his health and the people around him.
