So you opened an illegal minor account with a fake name and birthdate.
Unlikely you can close the account as it will probably soon be permanently limited if it hasn't already.
Sometimes paypal allow a new account to be opened at 18 but as you have broken 3 of their rules already I don't hold out a lot of hope.
When you are 18 reach out to customer services and ask?

Some call centre staff at paypal don't always know the full facts.
You won't be able to ever close that account, it would be permanently limited as an illegally opened minor account, this is to stop you removing anything from it to try and open another account.
Secondly whilst they may say you can open another account at 18 you may well hit issues so nothing is guaranteed until you are 18 and try it.
I have known customer services tell folks they can open one at 18 but when they try the system states no. Good luck though.
