I imagine they don't study at all however devote very large blocks of time to studying which they spend mostly distracting themselves and never working. I go to cafes every day. It has been a long time since I've seen a study group of youth doing work. They are mostly talking or distracting themselves. Even when they stop talking and appear to work, eventually they pick up talking again and you can tell they've been looming over the conversation topics in their heads the entire time.They simply don't think studying or learning is cool and are more interested in gossip.

I mean, at a certain level, that's just being a teenager. Most never cared that much about grades or studying.
A group of us that had all played football together in high school got together a few years ago when two of our number died - one was expected (he had long been in ill health), the other murdered in very strange circumstances. Anyway, we're all sitting around telling stories, and I mentioned a few things some of the more academic among us had done. One of the others, who was a pretty average student, said, "man, I always figured you guys in the honors classes just studied and such, sounds like I missed out on some damn funny stories."
Thing was that I almost never did homework or studied at home - I used my downtime during the school day to get that done so I could play Civilization when I got home.
