Very deliberately turn your attention to Jesus.
Think about Him ,not yourself or others .
How is your prayerlife ?
How much Bible reading do you do ?
Those things do make a difference .In fact if you commit to at least half an hour of Bible reading a day it will change your life.Memorise some Bible verses too.
Enrich Your Prayer Life ,a little book at www.homechurchresources.com
might make a difference to you .

Don't worry, I don't think anyone is secure at the age of thirteen. Some might give that appearance, but what is really going on is a different story. You are still growing up, your own identity is taking shape, and there's a whole world out there that you're going to get to know. So don't be so hard on yourself, give yourself time!
You are a unique creation of God, and Jesus loves you so much that he sacrificed himself on the cross so that you could be saved. Build on that, and I think you will do all right. You can take all your worries and troubles to God in prayer. That's something I wish I would've done more at your age.
Regarding judging, something which works for me is to remember my own weaknesses, sinfulness and how much God has forgiven me. When I think of all that it's hard for me to feel superior to anyone.

Romans 2:1-4 and 15:1-7 are good scripture passages about passing judgement. I can see that you are already mature beyond your years in that you are aware of judging others and care to change. Stay on God's path for your life; only He can lead you to the right places. God Bless you!

Have you done a study on "who I am in Christ"? That study has really helped me in my insecurities. Remember, it's not who you are or what you do, but who and what God has made you. You're not worthy on your own, but God makes you worthy. Anything else (once you've repented of sin) is an attack from the devil.

Matthew 7:1-6:
1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
That might help you. It's saying that however you judge people will be the same way God judges you. I don't want to seem like I'm attacking you by posting this, but just think of this next time you go to judge someone. It definitely works for me.

In addition to what everyone said above, it helps me to remember what God wants to accomplish through me, and that rarely includes scrutinizing others, lol.
If I approach someone wondering what they might need, my focus is taken off their personal annoyances and onto a specific target. Prayer for them puts you in a position of wanting to help.
Sometimes I notice that I judge because I am afraid that others want to impose on me, criticize me, or intrude in some way. It's not so much their faults I react to, but how the person's actions/words will impact me.
