Hi feistelj,
The short answer is yes, someone who is 13 can be, and are, sexually active. The longer answer is that whether or not someone who is 13 is in a place in their lives where they're ready to be sexually active depends on a whole bunch of different factors, and what's the "right" choice for one person at 13 may be the completely wrong choice for someone else at that same age. These two articles do a really good job of breaking some of those factors down: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/relat ... or_romance

Are you asking about this because you're considering being sexually active yourself?

Hi feistelj,
Okay, is there information you were looking for that wasn't in them?
And, since it sounds like you're considering being sexually active, have you and your partner talked at all about whether you're each ready to handle any risks associated with sex?
