I think you are too young.
Look, the whole idea of getting saved means that you have to live your whole life the way other Christians or the Bible, say you should.
Your whole life is a long time. Make this decision with great care.
Read the Bible from cover to cover like you're reading a school book - and I don't mean a children's version (if you don't understand it, wait until you're a bit older then read it again).
While you're reading, pay attention to the type of person that God seems to be: is he loving? kind? fair?
You will probably be surprised at what you read, but even if you're not, I STILL think you should wait until you're much older - here's why:
The Bible tells us that if we truly regret our sin(s) and accept Jesus as our personal savior that we can spend Eternity in Heaven, no matter how bad the things we've done are.
BUT, if you're a Christian (already have a relationship with Christ) and you do bad stuff - you've got all kinds of guilt and maybe even penance where you have to actually do stuff to show God how sorry you are.
It's really in your best interest to live your life with as little baggage (guilt) as possible, so I say wait, read, study, ask lots of questions (even if people get mad at you) and ALWAYS think for yourself (even if you do decide to become a Christian)

You are never too young to give your life to God. Look at Samuel in the bible. God chose to speak to Him and use him greatly and he was a child. Today is the day of salvation.

If you understand what it means to be a Christian or give your life to God then you are old enough.

What do you mean? Do you understand the gospel of Jesus Christ? Do you believe it? If you do, then you are at the right age. Do you love the Lord? And do you want to repent of sin? If these are all things you honestly want to do, what is holding you back?
Pray to the Lord, and ask for his forgiveness and tell Him you trust in Him and believe in Him- and ask him to give you a new heart that is pleasing to Him.
Do you have a bible?

You're never too young to be a Christian. It's better to start following Christ early bc then you won't have to worry about breaking sinful habits.

I think you can't be too young to except any type of religion. As long as you know what you are doing and following what you believe is right, you can.

God never put an age-limit on salvation. Go and give your life to Him, that'll be the best thing anyone can ever do in their life.
God bless you.

You are putting to much emphasis on "giving your life to God." It's not like you can't get it back. Religion on a peddalstool at its finest.

No, as long as you understand a complete reliance on Christ, you are not to young to be a Christian.

Yes. No human on earth has the years of wisdom to know God's will.
We are all idiots compared to God, and idiots for thinking he actually cares about us ants on this mound of dirt.
