Top answer

Anonymous today's children are not only less creative than before, but also are more lazy. Whether it's true or not is a matter of personal opinion. It's correct if you capitalise the first letter, though it would be better with 'also' after 'are'.

I would remove the comma and the 'are'.
You could say 'lazier', but I prefer the use of less . . . / more .
