If that backstory was exploited as the main focus of a story later on, then so be it, but it's not their original form.
That's like saying Darth Vader was originally a podracing slave.

Originally yeah, they were teens and whatnot. It's been established later on tho that some members of the X-Men (not just the original 5, mind you) have encountered Xavier in prepubescence. Storm and Jean Grey immediately come to mind.
