I know everyone says not to be embarrassed or don't pretend to be someone you're not but I still can't work up the nerve to tell my family or anyone else. Plus, at the age 13, how do I find a girlfriend? I'm too young for dating websites and I can't just walk up to a random girl and ask her out. What should I do?

Let me elaborate on what the other aunts are saying.
Firstly, 13 is a little young for anyone to date, simply because they are just on the cusp of teenhood, and their hormones are running haywire right now, so most will be trying to figure out who they are in this world, and it's usually not a good idea to have a girlfriend or boyfriend while figuring this out.
Also, at such a young age, there really won't be too many other girls who are sure of their sexuality, or just "out", so it'd be really hard to find a girl that is also interested in a relationship with another girl. I'd say wait a while, until some of the other girls start figuring out what kind of person they like, and who they are, so that they know they're a lesbian, and you'd be more likely to date one of them.

Your way too young to be worrying about telling people if you are gay or anything like that. Take some time to get use to it yourself and learn more about who you are.
At 13 do you really need a gf? why not try being happy with who you are on your own her now.

I would agree that you should wait a few years at least. You will meet someone. But for now just have fun with your friends and enjoy your life. That is just some advice, but if you want a true answer to your question i would say to wait until highschool. You will have better oppurtunity to meet people of different sexual orientations. But please dont jump into anything sexual just because youve met someone. Good luck.

Relax and give yourself a few years before you jump into dating. At 13 NOBODY needs a girlfriend or boyfriend.
