Remember, they are still pretty much children in Hobbit society. Both the Tooks and Brandeybucks hold fair bits of land, it’s just their wild kids running around giving the farmers trouble. And of course there’s never any real consequences for them beyond a slap on the wrist.
Frodo was around 50 during the events of lord of the rings, making him an adult comparable to maybe a 30yo human. Sam was a bit younger and Merry & Pippin were basically teenagers
