I learned not to be too judgmental too quickly. I know when I first started doing fanfic, I would read a story and go, 'ouch, that was terrible', then I would find out the author was 13 years old, and then I'd think, 'well, that was actually pretty good.'
Lots and lots of fanfic writers are kids - I say just enjoy it for what it is. I think older writers tend to write better, but the kids need a chance to develop, too.
