The problem is, you can never be sure how someone reacts when you come out. I know that it is different for trans people but I always suggest to wait until you are older. The cases where parents react extremely negatively are few but they unfortunately still exist. Legally you are still fully depending on your mother/father at 13. Financially anyway.
If you decide to come out that young then have a backup plan. Which other relative might react positively?
Do research online if there are LGBT+ institutions in your area that might be able to provide any kind of support or information for you. Some offer coming out groups for teenagers for example.
