I wouldn't fret about it too much.

There are a lot of interviewer egos out there and kids being put in the position of Ultimate Power(tm) can really do a lot of damage to the self-worth of qualified candidates.

Just keep coding, studying algorithms, etc, and putting yourself out there. Eventually you'll get a job that you want and is well suited for you. You're fortunate to live in a time where it's a seller's market, employment-wise.
