They never had anything remotely like normal teenaged childhoods or experiences, so they wouldn't be anything like "teenagers" we would think of. Pretending they would be is just making a farce of things.

I guess I like them acting like teens because, well, they are. It's also in the title for most TMNT series. I like the notion of them doing teenaged stuff. I mean, sure, they didn't have typical human teen experiences, though they do have access to media like TV, and I can see them imitating what they watch. I guess I'm also a fan of coming-of-age stories, and some TMNT stories feel that way as well.
I don't think we'll agree on this one. I tend to like TMNT interpretations outside of Mirage canon, and you...don't, I guess.
