Re: I think I\'m still 12 years old...

This is really bad advice. Losing half your initial buy in means nothing in and of itself. Don't leave a good game.

It's not good advice, but it's not terrible.
Your facts:
1. You have some reason to believe the game is good
2. You are down 12BB+
Possible reasons:
1. The game isn't as good as you thought it was
2. Normal variance
With the stat overlay, sometimes you will still know that the game is good (and that your seat is good(!)), then there's no excuse to leave, however, if you are second guessing that the game is actually good, might as well join another one you think is good.
Another thing to consider is that when you're losing, the game may become worse for you. People start to play differently against you, and when your opponents deviate from their original play, you know less about them, and the game becomes less profitable.
Just because you thought a game was good when you sat down, doesn't mean you should always think it's good. Leave if you decide your judgement was off. Don't leave if it's only because you're losing. Some of my biggest wins were on good tables I knew were good that I started down 20BB.
