That just means he's a multi-layered character. He's like Rarity in many ways. Both characters cannot be immediately defined by simple glimpse.

It isn't fair to describe him as "just a kid" simply because he decides to have some fun from time to time. Both RD and Pinkie do the same thing more often than Spike does. I see him as mature as the other ponies are.

He holds a job and is portrayed with a strong sense of duty and responsibility towards being Twilight's assistant. The last episode even proved it.

"I wish Twilight would go on epic adventures more often. Best night's sleep I've had in weeks. "

Without Twilight around, he didn't have anyone to take care of for a while. Seriously, fans should stop judging him by his small appearance and start treating him by his personality.
