I can only do 25 straight in a row (though I can do 100 with 4 short breaks in between). Is that good for my age?

Considering that the average teenage boy between the ages of 13 and 16 would be hard pressed to do even 10 push ups in a row, you have exceeded the expectations of most people.
The average 13 year old spends too much time playing video games, hanging out at the mall and trying to avoid physical labor; even if it is only mowing the lawn.
Good job and keep exercising. It is always easier to stay in shape than to get back into shape. Believe me. At one time I use to lift weights, run marathons, eat healthy and keep my weight in check. Then when I went to college I got lazy, drank at least a 6 pack beer 5-6 nights a week, ate tons of junk food and stopped working out. I went from 175 lbs (at 5'11") to 225 lbs. It took a lot of hard work and over a year to get back in shape. That was 25 years ago and I'm grateful to be able to say that I have made the effort to stay in shape and at 52 I am 178lbs, can still run a couple of miles 3 times a week and have a BMI of 24.
Again, good job and keep in shape.

That's good. I'm a girl and I can do 21. But I love sports and whatnot.

depending on how thin you are, they can expect a maximum of 20 to 30.

I have no idea, I can do 80 on a good day, but then I'm not 13.

It's a start. Keep working at it and you'll improve.
You're not ONLY doing pushups right?
