There's a difference between 'going crazy' in your twenties and getting arrested, going to court, and going to rehab (how many times?) in your twenties.
Not every girl in their twenties acts the way Lohan does, but that's not to say all of them don't because there are many who do make the same mistakes. The fact is, she went off track, for whatever reason (due to pressure from media, her parents, simply because she didn't care, or whatever other reason amongst the numerous others). To say that her behavior is 'normal' for a girl in their twenties is pushing it.
That said, there are many young actors who haven't fallen into the same mistakes growing up. Whether it was because they didn't let it go to their head, their parents didn't let it go to their heads, or they simply didn't crack under the pressure.
One prime example being Shirley Temple. She started at the age of 3, and she grew up to become an ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. I'm not saying Lindsay Lohan can't pull it together, but how many mugshots of Shirley Temple do you see on the internet these days (or ever for that matter)? Not too many...
