You're both right - Bella sort of nose-dove into insanity in New Moon, causing her to lose all sense of her rational, natural being as she went. This was because she experienced a loss so profoundly deep that it caused her to devolve into a virtual zombie for several months. But before this situation, and after it was mended, Bella WAS exceptionally mature, responsible, and practical. Unnaturally so, especially for her age. She overtook the majority of the household responsibilities when she was six. She "exiled" herself to the place she loathed more than any in the world, solely because it was more convenient for Renee, and it would make her happier. "My mom always says I was born thirty-five years old, and that I get more middle age every year". I can literally name twenty other situations where Bella shows us truly how innately good she is, so I can't agree with you on that.
