Do a little research of your own and you'll soon see that this isn't just a single paper I'm talking about, but you would also know that if you've ever actually read Scientific American. The idea of teenagers being immature in any neurological sense is a very recent phenomenon based far more on parents needing something to assuage their own feelings of frustration then on any sort of hard evidence. Historical and sociological data also points overwhelmingly towards a mental maturity date far younger then most people have led themselves to believe.
Follow the science if you want any sort of real answer...or delude yourself and sit in a dark room if you prefer.
