I too find the "teenagers are unable to be good parents" bit a little silly.
I`m not a teenage mother, but can say I pretty much completely raised my brother from birth to 5, while looking after (again, alone) my sister from 5 to 10.
It wasn`t a matter of "helping" either - it was a matter of my mother not being at home (out "partying"), so I had to pretty much quit school in order to take care of them.

Maturity depends upon the person, not age. Age only gives you an advantage - nothing else. I`d say that at 15, I was significantly more mature than my mother at 35... And there is absolutely no doubt to it at all now, as she`s freaking crying and trying to kill herself with a broken coffee cup if her boyfriend gets mad at her for cheating on him.

The most immature part of the whole equation is getting pregnant in the first place if you don`t have the ability to deal with the result.
