What Causes Constant Tiredness For A 13-year-old Boy?

My son is 12 almost 13 and stays tired all the time. He doesn t stay up late and he has been falling asleep at school. He also does not seem to have as good of an appetite as he use to the past few years. He is 5 ft tall and only weighs 70 lbs. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
