Nice work for a thirteen year-old!
Practice kiddo. I know that's a pain to hear, but practice is what landed me a graphic design job at nineteen. Before that, I'd been drawing professionally for about five years (when I say professionally, I mean I was getting money for it).
Critiques are essential-- and not just from your school mates (you're probably accustomed to a lot of 'wow's already). You're old enough to get a gallery with deviantART, so get a space and start checking out the work of artists who are at your level and older and artists who are better than me and younger than you. Seeing what others are doing is the best thing for your advancement as an artist, especially since you probably don't have ready access to any art book you want. My gallery plug: http://ladyzephyr.deviantart.com/
Take all the art classes you can manage (and do it before you go to college-- it's a lot more expensive if you wait)! I have minimal interest in crafts and ceramics, but I still took them to be more well-rounded. If nothing else, art classes give you structured practice time and if you get a good teacher, they will give you a reasonable amount of freedom in what you want to draw.
If you want more help, email me (use my handle here before the '@yahoo.com' and you've got it... please say something about art in the subject line so I don't delete it ^_^;;) and if I get the chance, I'll give you some flat-out, professional critiques on one or two of your pictures-- not the 'trash-n-bash' kind, but the constructive ones.
Regardless of what advice you take, congratulations: art professions are some of the most rewarding careers you can persue. And also, good luck: there's one Hell of a lot of competition out there.

you're not too bad for your age, you should probably look into learning how to do add shadows and highlights, and try to add more detail to give dimension to your artwork. a while back like when i was your age i got a book that covered how to make things look realistic with shadows and such, and it opened up many new doors for me.
Like everyone already said, practice is really important. the more you draw the better you will get, trust me. And what helped me out is looking online for drawing tutorials, or finding books that assist those who want to learn more about drawing, honestly..it helps a lot. Another thing i do is look around for other artists' work, it helps me to see how other artist do things, and observe their techniques.
good luck, stick with this..and you will improve..believe me =]
below is a link to a page that has a bunch of different resources that would be really helpful i think.

Practice practice practice.
Get huge newsprint pads and draw big on them, with charcoal. It looks like you need to loosen your lines up. Don't pinch your pencil or bear down hard.
See if there's a local art school or college with age appropriate classes for you to attend after school.
Did I mention practice practice practice?
Then, when you're older, go somewhere like here. Watch the video on the following site:

That's great. I think you are good too.
I agree with the Go bigger with newsprint and charcoal
Get some anatomy books or pictures of bodies for reference.
Also think of where the light source is comming from in your drawings so you can shade.

Your drawing is fairly good, though the style is cartoonish. You should look for books in an art or craft store that show different methods of drawing. Also, search "drawing people," "drawing faces," etc. for more sites like the one below. Click on "Drawing The Profile" for details on proportion.

Keep taking art classes while in school. Practice all the time. Copy the "Old Masters" of the Italian and Northern Renaissance (get names from your school art teacher.) . Practice all the time. Go talk to your counselors about in state schools. Practice all the time. Go to your local library and find a copy of the "Harvard Review". It has listings and ratings for just about every college in the country. You should be able to get names of good art schools in your area. Oh, I almost forgot, Practice all the time.

Not bad, you do, however, need to work on your details and shading. It's good though. You could go in for commercial art and book and magazine illustration.

Very good for someone so young!
Think about the anatomy of the head. Watch how people move and hold themselves etc. Shadowing: not much is pure white in reality.
