Answer:
I am not a toy though many use me for pleasure. I have a butt but I cannot poo.
I have feathers that help me fly; with head and body but I'm not alive. Very skinny and a fixed length how far I go depends on your strength.
The shorter I am the bigger I am.
Never ahead, ever behind, yet flying swiftly past; for a child, I last forever; for an adult, I'm gone too fast. What am I?
I help you carry your books.
Give it food and it will live, give it water and it will die.
