It's just one teacher's opinion. You shouldn't dwell on it too much. She probably said that because ayu's lyrics haven't changed much since she started writing them.
After the age of 30, you're supposed to have "figured out" life but ayu's lyrics, especially in crossroad are still about being lost and unsure while wandering through life with questions unanswered.
Therefore those are the kinds of lyrics "you write when you're really young."
Also ayu herself has confessed that she wishes to remain a child forever since the implications of being an "adult" don't seem to fit her.
You also have to take into consideration that her target audience is still people in their 20's and that her lyrics and mindset don't seem to shift too drastically.
