Answers:
i agree with dP, try excersises that use your natural body weight like: like, pushups, sit-ups, chin-ups and jogging ( to increase your stamina) the reason your parents don't want you to lift weights so early is that it affects your growth!. At 13, you are still growing!. You have growth plates between your bones that can easily be damage by the stress put on them from heavy weights, if these growth plates are damaged then your growth could be slowed or stopped!.

Body weight stuff is all you need now
Push ups , Pull ups/ Chin ups , Dips , squats , Lunges etc!.
You can start with moderate weights around 16 but you don't get full muscle development till you are finished developing into an adult & that can be 21 years old!.
So I also would advise waiting to do heavy weights till you are older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
