We have four good examples of teenage ponies on MLP: Fluttershy in flight school (knowing she’s a year older than the other M6), AJ from “Where the Apple Lies”, Plaid Stripes, and Sandbar. The key is that they have slightly thinner limbs than full grown mares or stallions, giving them the lanky appearance of human teenagers.
Smolder looks way too big here. I know dragons work different than ponies but I severely doubt Smolder would be a full grown mare. At most I picture her like teen AJ looked in Where The Apple Lies

Optimism, Time, and Anger, the only three things I have WAY more than I’ll ever need, because sadness is anathema to me.

Implying that magic is applied to the mind and not the physical body…
Also, if the problem is magical in nature than a skilled mage could figure out the problem and reverse it easily, and if there’s anything that Fallout Equestria has taught me, it’s that the scientific method can also be applied to magic.
@infinita est lux Solis
This is implying that magic is not at play here. If it is some form of magic that is allowing smolder to fly, then science is thrown out the window. Or if there is some form of curse on scoots, etc.
Assuming that Scootaloo can think as a scientists, and she doesn’t. That can only work if somepony else like Twilight or Sunburst is there to supervise them. So yeah, bad luck for scoots.
@Twi_Clown
Applying the scientific method will solve all problems, if Smolder’s mind in Scoot’s body can make it fly, then clearly the problem is mental, not physical, then Scoots could take a video and write down everything Smolder does differently from her in her flying pattern, thus learn what was causing the problem, then she can attempt recreating what she had observed, if it doesn’t work then she should compare what data she has gained from the experimentation with the data contained within the original hypothesis, continue to compare and contrast until by process of elimination she’s figured out exactly what she was doing wrong. If the problem is a physical one then it can be solved using medical science, such as various surgeries or even artificial limbs or other mechanical enhancements. Science wins!
