I don't think you can live off eating paper unless you are a termite or a silverfish.
Some kids do weird stuff just to get attention. He might be faking it. I don't know him, but I doubt if his mom cooks up a pot of paper for dinner.

No you cant. Your body needs a minimum amount of calories fat carbs vitamins and minerals. So no a person would be severely malnourished if he is eating paper which I doubt he is. He's calling your bluff. Laugh at him...he deserves it.
Good Luck!!

He can die eating paper alone. The chemicals in it and the build up of paper in his colon can kill him.

No. You will die. Probably rather quickly. There are no required proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to support life.

Well, my dog prefers cardboard over his food, and he's fine.
But, no. Why don't you all offer to take him out for lunch or something?
