His behaviour could be a way to receive attention. He seems to have difficulty keeping up with his studies, it might help to see if his behaviour and academic performance are related in some ways. Depending on his age and his overall environment he might be responding to stressors in this way. Providing support and attention to him could be the first step. Family therapy or individual therapy (depending on his age) would be very helpful. If possible, helping build a support system(with friends, other family members), anyone he is close to could allow him to open up. But it would be good to approach a therapist who would be able to help with the situation.
Next Steps
It would be helpful to see if there are NGO's providing pro bono sessions or sessions in limited amount.

Hi, this kind of behaviour can be attention seeking or learning disabilities or may be any other kind of emotional issues . To know the root cause of the problem we need to know the total environment of the child . You haven’t mentioned the child age if he is 15 or 16 years we can work with only child but if we can do family therapy it is always better . This boy need immediate attention.
Health Tips
There are many NGO who does pro bono work also . Reach out to them . In the mean time keep your communication open with him and his family . Show your acceptance towards him. Hope this help . Take care
