Just so you know (and I mean this in a nice way), it’s probably not a good idea to reveal your age on an app/website like this, especially because there are a bunch of trolls on here who look for any weakness to exploit.

Totally agree with this. I would recommend that you edit the post to edit out your age. The internet can be a nasty place, and people who act nice can have bad intentions.
That said, I'll point something out in response to Deadmanparty: FIDE standards are MUCH higher than "average random person" standards of playing chess, but online seems to be somewhere in between. For example, a 1200 is a beginner by FIDE standards, but would crush pretty much all their friends and family. However, the same person is considered intermediate online.
If you want to be really serious, then yeah, otb tournaments are a desirable thing to aim to focus on, in the long-term. That said, despite 1000 being considered a new beginner otb, at 1000 I think you already should be easily crushing most if not all people you know who don't play chess much. You can also consider the "in-between" standard of online, which is higher than "random normal person" and lower than "FIDE players". I think that by chess.com standards, you would be an "upper beginner"; I've heard Gotham refer to 1100s as "intermediate" as well.
As has been mentioned before, though, you should focus on enjoying what you play and improving (if that's what you want) and not think solely about results and comparing to other people. You can always find people progressing faster than you. You can always find people progressing slower than you. It's not a race, and I'd say be content with where you at as long as you are putting in the efforts that you require of yourself given your goals.

Yeah great summary ice_cream_cake.

I don't know what u guys are talking about....a 13 year old should be mature enough to handle trolls and disrespectful comments. That's why Google has set the minimum age to create a account 13 years.

a person mature enough to handle bad people should obviously also be mature enough to realise that topics like this are overused, boring, annoying, and not worth posting

this is a "i hit 1000 elo as a 13 year old" in disguise

The kid has been a member for 3 months. However mature he may or may not be for a 13 year old, that has nothing to do with knowing what topics have been overused over the history of these forums.

Here's an overused one: the "I'm 1000 again!" topic you started when you had been a member of this site for 9 months. Did anyone drop a poo poo on your head in that thread? No. They were supportive and congratulatory.

Here's a tip for life: don't dump on people who don't deserve it. Try to show a little bit of class, and you'll find people treat you the same way.

When I was 13, I didn't even know how the pieces move. I don't think rating has much to do with the age of an individual.
