nothing wrong with a 13 year old participating in resistance training. you might want to get him a book so he can focus on his form and doing some bodyweight training as well.
I joined my first gym at 13, I haven't stopped lifting since

Weights for teens are good for overall health and fitness. I'd say he should have someone show him the proper way to lift so that he doesn't hurt himself and can get the most out of his workout. Rec Center, Personal Trainer, local gym can show him.
