No worries!

Okay, let me break this down for you.

Right now, you're at the beginning of puberty. Your body has started to release mass amounts of hormones, causing you to do very weird things. I know how it feels to be short, trust me. Given what you have said in this thread, I am confident in saying you are about to have a massive growth spurt.

As for all your feelings, that's totally normal too. Hormones your body releases during puberty cause you to feel different, act different, and think different. You just gave us classic signs of puberty, so don't worry, you're totally normal and fine.

(and seeing as this is your first real post, congradulations, and welcome to VT. My names Will, here to help you out with anything.)

I totally agree with the post above, and he hit the nail on the head.

As for your size, unlike elementary school when external physical features were not so much of an issue your mind is maturing due to your sexual awakening where external features start to become important. As a result, you are starting to notice other people's physical traits which you would have ignored before. To answer your question directly, many junior high school kids are pretty small, and assuming that the picture in your avatar is you, then you are pretty average for your age. Sure, there are going to be really big kids in your school and among your classmates, but there are also going to be a lot of small kids, too. I am sure practically no one on here achieved their full size by 14, and keep in mind that puberty is a 4-5 year process from start to finish. One way or another you will reach your full size, and it took me almost five years for that to happen. Your Father and/or older brothers are a good yardstick for your development, and chances are you will either meet or beat their sizes. You cannot control when your development will happen, but you can control eating right (www.mypyramid.gov), staying away from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, and by staying active in moderation. In short, don't worry about your size (easier said than done in junior high) as you are normal, and you are no different than anyone of us when we were your age. Trust me, your shortness is temporary, and you will change.

As for your feelings, keep in mind that you clearly are in the midst of puberty, and your body is getting a major influx of hormones. Hormones make people act strange, and your experience is not unusual as we were all just like you. Also, keep in mind that you probably never had the feelings you are having now before, especially the sexual ones, which is why you are confused on how to handle them. The most important thing you can do right now is stay on good terms with your parents or older siblings and find a responsible older person to whom you can vent. A big mistake folks make in puberty is walling themselves off from their loved ones instead of talking their feeling out which really makes things so much better.

To address your sexual feelings, again, those feelings are probably really cool and feel super good. Of course something that feels good and makes you feel comfortable is something you want to do all the time. It is totally fine to masturbate as that is a way to release your sexual feelings. Just make sure you are not spending all of your free time doing it, and also make sure that if you are accessing images online that they are not from websites that can add viruses or malware to your computer.

Basically, you are just like any 13 year old new to puberty in terms of size and feelings. The most important thing you can do now is to stay tight with your family and have someone responsible to whom to talk when you are feeling off.
