A Theory:
Is adolescence just depression brought on by lack of endorphins, which can be put off indefinitely by other natural means, such as a sufficient amount of physical exercise combined with intellectual stimulus?
Are dancers and others who extend their childhoods and put off adolescence by consuming their excess energies in extensive physical activity doomed to hit adolescence at a later stage? And those who don't distract themselves by purging their excess fumes in sport: are they doomed to adolescence at the "proper" time? Can the ups and down of adolescence, which is very much like depression, be avoided by physical activity? Do we need to run off that steam to think clearly?
