Were the Turtles still trained for 15 years in the original cartoon?

In the OT's origin story, we see the Turtles instantly mutate to their adult sizes because they were "becoming more human." However throughout the series the Turtles make mention that they are teenagers.

Were the Turtles still trained for 15 years before the events of the first episode, "Turtle Tracks?"

I always assumed the Turtles still lived underground with Splinter for 15 years even though they were never, "kids" in the show. It would also go with my assumption that Shredder and Hamato Yoshi were about 35 years old in that series...and the flashback to Japan took place when they were 20.
