I've been a witch since I was 13 years old and I'm now 20. I can't exactly promise you that you'll be really good super fast but I can teach you a lot better then half the idiots on here.
"When the student is ready a teacher will appear."
Be very discerning when choosing a mentor. The student should be as selective as the teacher if not more so.
The following link can help you find others in your area. http://www.witchvox.com/

EDIT: Since you are 13, I am going to advise you to study on your own. I will post some links for you.
Here are some non-biased links that will answer basic questions.

These sites should get you started. Study, question and examine everything. You may also want to investigate the difference between Traditional Wicca, Neo-Wicca, and Witchcraft.
Brightest Blessings on your quest )O(
Dr. Zoom Zoom,
When I say non-biased, I am meaning they do not interject their personal opinions as fact. It seems you would not know much about that.
I would suggest going to Wilcox.com, and finding a group in your area. Get involved and ask questions. However, if you are a teen lots of groups won't touch you. They won't even talk to you without parental con cent.
I can give you some information if you want it also if you go to
http://www.witchvox.com you can find vicunas in your own area, I feel it is always easier to learn from someone who you are close to and trust. Also there are many good websites and books out there. Scott Cunningham has many books that are suitable for those beginning to learn.
I was about your age when I got into Wicca. Here's the best advice I can give you:
OK, first, read about the lives of famous occultists:
http://usminc.org/famous.html
Then decide if it's worth per suing. If you want to wind up broke and forgotten, go for it!
If there is any truth to the old saying "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.", that truth is found in the occult, and Wicca in particular. Silver Ravenwolf has written close to a dozen books on the subject of "The Craft", and claims she has been studying it since about 1969, which is almost as long as I?vie been alive. She has written a book on how to cast money spells, and includes a chapter on how to do so in her Teen Witch book. But the thing is, she doesn't particularly sound all that prosperous herself. Ravenwolf writes,
" For years I couldn't afford to go to a hair stylist (still can't, it's shop and chop for me). I got pretty good at stying my own hair from looking at magazine pictures" [SOURCE: Teen Witch, Llewellyn Publications, 2003 edition, page 145]
OK, she so rich she can't go to the hairdresser. Hey, get me a copy of that Prosperity Spell book!
Silver Ravenwolf seems to have inadvertently discovered that Wicca makes things worse, but won't ever admit it as such.
In Teen Witch she says
"A lot of people tell me how bad their lives have gotten after casting a spell and tell me they won't do Witchcraft anymore. I tell them their lives would have been much worse for not having cast the spell".
Gee Silver, you would think a lot of people would be saying things like "Hey, Silver Ravenwolf, my life has improved tremendously with Wicca!" if Wicca is as great as they claim. Instead it makes lives much worse, and even Silver Ravenwolf admits she hears this a lot!!!
Why? Because sometimes, things are just as you think they are. Most average people will tell you the occult deals with black magic and demons, and demons are evil beings who wish us harm. This is how it is my friend. The occult is evil, and brings bad happenings into a person's life, and Wicca is an occult religion.
When you stop trying to rationalize it with inaccurate data and just use common sense you will realize this. Some occultists are of above average intelligence, and I think part of the problem is they have book smarts but not common sense. There are two forces at work in this universe: the counterfeit and the genuine. Wicca?s source of power is not the genuine. There?s just simply no way Wicca (and thus the copycat Neopagan religions) can be created from the black magic writings of ?The Great Beast 666", the bizarre sexual practices of Gardner, the spiritual ?guidance? of the Watchers (fallen angels) and still be a source of good!
None of the people who have answered your question can make it work either, Don't delude yourself. It's an incredible waste of time and money, and it's spiritual poison.
Oh, if I seem I focus on the "magical" aspects of it, that's because usually most young people get into it because of that (that and to rebel).
I will echo what magical_orange said above, your best bet would be
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amberandjet/
You won't likely find someone to take you "under their wing" so to speak until you are 18. But that gives you a great head-start to begin learning what Wicca is really about. The archives there are priceless, there is so much good information there alone that it could keep you busy for a year or more just reading. The recommended reading list there is very good also. I must say, your approach to the matter is refreshing for someone your age. Take your time and learn all you can to make certain this is where you are drawn. If you still feel it is in a few years you will have a solid base to work from. I wish you the best. Here are some other links I recommend you check out:
(Dr. Zoom Zoom: The questioner didn't ask what your or anyone Else's opinion was. You obviously hold a negative impression of Wicca and are hyper focused on the aspect of magic...which is only a very small facet of the larger picture. So, why answer at all? I am not a big fan of Scientology ... you don't see me jumping at every chance to answer questions about it.)
http://www.avalonia.co.uk/ have free classes. These are really good and informative courses. Do their work and you will learn a lot about Wicca and about yourself. If you have any more questions or anything, please feel free to e-mail me at trinitarianwiccan@yahoo.com.
Blessed Be!!!!!
What you need to do is find a real coven that practices "sky clad" (i.e. naked as nature) and really practices "The Great Rite" (i.e. ritualized sex), not simply sticking an Athene in a chalice because they're too fudged. Sorry, but you will probably have to wait until you are 18 to partake in a real Wicca coven unless your parents sign a waiver.
Don't let anyone kid you, there is no such thing as "solitary Wiccans" and I doubt there are many "real" Fam Trads outside of the UK.
I want a mentor in wicca?
