I think that is far too much of a sweeping statement.
Teenagers may know more about some aspects of life but the older generation have had considerable more experience.
As for whether teenagers are qualified sufficiently to have responsibilities-that depends on the maturity or otherwise of the teenager.
And lastly,if you define a teenager as being between 13 and 19 I feel you have to qualify further what manner of responsibility and degree of responsibility you are talking about here

Well when I was a teen I certainly knew more than then I do now. Or perhaps I actually know more now because I know that I do not know everything which makes me open to learning things
I think each generation new best about whatever was new and going on at that time. I don't believe for a second that teenagers know best because as I myself did they think they know all which doesn't give them a lot of room to learn new things if they already know everything, or so they thought.
I think that a teenager should only be given responsibilities that go with growing up. Not be saddled with a lot of responsibility and miss your teenage years to it.

No, no, no. FATHER Knows Best. Didn't you ever see any re-runs or re-re-runs of that 50s television series with Robert Young and Jane Wyatt? The "black and white" family in the Tobey Maguire/ Reese Witherspoon movie "Pleasantville" was modelled after it.

Oh heavens NO. They may be qualified to have responsibilites but the majority lack the maturity to actually accept and understand them.

They think they do, but then they have always thought that.
Some things will never change.

No.
Re-read you're question and then ask yourself that all over again.
