I'm 13 years old, 5'6" and 118lbs. Is this perfect? I'm trying to get down to 115lbs.

You're kind of tall for your age and I think that is a good weight.
but here is a website where you can check if you're normal or not

that is a good weight for your age. It would be underweight if you were a little older. That is the minimum weight for my age and height bracket (I am 5'5" and 22).
You do NOT need to lose weight. You are too young to be dieting if you do not have a serious weight problem. Dieting at the age of 13 can have some health consequences, including loss of a menstrual cycle or setting yourself up to be unhealthy and even overweight in the future (so if you would rather be thin than healthy, keep that last fact in mind). If you want to diet, talk to your dr or a nutritionist, and they can help you get on something that will not have negative consequences for you later on down the road.

That is more than fine. That is model perfect. I wouldn't loose anymore weight. Don't get down any further than 110, then you'll look like skin and bones. For 5'6" you can get up to 140 without looking overweight. You're just fine. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You shouldn't be worrying about weight. You're going through puberty and any weight you gain is natural and shouldn't be messed with. If you try to lose weight during puberty you are just messing with nature. Besides, you're body is going to put that weight (if not more) back on anyway so you really are wasting your time.

That's perfect. It isn't even necessary to lose anymore weight. Your BMI is 19 which is excellent.

You are about two punds above underweight, which means don't lose any weight, because your weight is just about perfect.
