Hanging out with people who are older can sometimes get you into trouble.  Enjoy your time being 13.  You can still feel mature and act mature but enjoy your youth. Don't rush it away.
Establishing boundaries is easy.  The boundaries we have been talking about are the personal boundaries with yourself and others.  Saying things  such as "inviting someone to come into your shower" is not a boundary.  Respect your body.  This is the only one you have and to allow someone to use it whenever they want is abuse.  You are abusing your body.  Same goes when you use others.  When you say no to those who want you for your body and not your mature mind, you will be establishing boundaries.
