This all is due to eating rich food including the junk food and sitting for hours before TV screens, playing video games and no exercise. Such things do not bode well for human health.
Generally speaking studies and sports are indispensable for a proper growth and a good career. So physical exercises in the form of workouts, cycling, walking, playing traditional games are as important for good health as air and water for survival. An hour's daily workout, walking, cycling etc, done for six months to a year increase the size of crucial parts of the brain.

Answer:
Why do Teens Under-perform at School?
By Kirti/Karan
Performance of teenagers has always been a matter of concern for all. It is growing and getting widespread day by day.
Teens today are leading our society into the Internet Age. They are developing the necessary skills to perform well in society. But when they are evaluated in terms of academic performance, they don't perform to their full potential. It's just because they don't really have that much dedication. There is lack of motivation. They develop poor work habits and can't utilize their skills to perform well.
Sometimes they lose their confidence and ultimately develop some medical problems. These youngsters are the future of our society. They can never be ignored like this. A proper perspective about them and certain changes can be useful for them.
These teenagers should be instilled with confidence by encouraging them to try new things and praising them for trying. Tell them to have faith in themselves and be always supportive. This will make them emotionally strong. Setting goals and being disciplined have a big importance. It helps to put them on track where they can focus on achieving and development, rather than allowing their negative thoughts to overpower them.
A positive environment should be created at home. Talking positively lightens the home environment. Support of family and schools encourage them to come out with flying colours.

The work which we used to do ourselves is being done by machines. Robots can do works like cooking, cleaning etc. It has helped us a lot to raise our standard of living. It has made very rapid progress and completely transformed outwardly the manner of our living.
The advent of science has altered the life of man. The world has shrunk and man is well-connected with far off places. We have been provided with more comfort and recreation. Television, mobile phones, air conditioners, oven, geyser, cars and elevators have changed our lives.
The successive discoveries and inventions of science have given the conveniences, comforts and power to humans. But there are two sides to a coin. On the contrary, these inventions have led to anxiety, tension, new diseases and environmental crisis. The same nature which gave us such valuable resources is now being abused and ignored.
Science is not just a tool, it is a very intelligent force. We should use it in an intelligent manner for our good and to make life comfortable and hassle-free.
