I'm not underage. I've been 18 for some time now (I got started in school about as late as I possibly could have). It's not skill level that I doubt as much as just starting off with a bad run of cards. Early in the year, I played with a few guys (the fresh 18 year old guys who think they are gods gift to poker) who have been going there a while and "say" they make money...I then proceeded to destroy them...I am going to withdraw everything from PS to try and give myself some cushion (that cushion will help me immensely in mainly my mindset)...

OK...you didn't mention where you play, because most places in the US you must be 21 to gamble.
And it takes a lot less than "a bad run of cards" to lose 2 buy-ins. This sort of variance is trivially routine for even the best players. You will soon realize how shallow $200 is in a game where $12-$20 opening preflop raises are the norm.
