I suppose your rabbi or parents could answer that. As far as I know it's about the transition from boy to manhood.At the age of 13 you have reached the age of religious responsibility.

Mazel Tov (Congradulations) on your 13th Birthday (will be)
A Bar Mitzvah is the act of becoming an adult in Jewish Religion. Being an adult would allow you to be counted as part of a minyan, wearing a talis, and wearing tafilan. You go on Shabbos (the sabbath) to shul and mostly orthadox+ (Some less) people read the whole Torah and do a huge service. After, you get the real meaning of the Bar Mitzvah; the part which everyone enjoys. The kiddush (meal) is right after, and you eat and eat and eat until your stomach bursts. Its a good feeling, lots of food!
