I don't mean that Barbie's roles become childesh, or little kids. Yes, they are teens, they are "big-girls". But they still live with some adult, who care about them ( remember Lumina and Scylla, Merliah and Break, Tori and Amelia ). Also it is craziness for them to merried ( remember what said Kristyn: "Hold on! I'not getting married. I'm only seventeen!" I mean that in classic Barbie movies Barbie's roles could live alone, they married at age 16. And it is very realistic ( I have explained it ). You're right they aren't kid-like at all, but we also cann't say that they are young women.
