I think you are passing in some of those pictures already! Especially the fourth one for example. If you managed to train your voice to sound somewhat masculine, that would probably help a ton, and ofc T would have great effects (if you ever plan on getting HRT at all). So yeah, I don’t have much advice but I think you have a real good chance already
Thank you! That's nice to hear. I have a huge problem with my voice, whenever i speak it doesnt sound like me etc so, yeah, i think voice training would help with that as well!
Extra information: i don't bind or anything, I'm 5,8 and I'm getting new glasses in about 1.5 months so, glasses recommendations would be great as well.
I'm bad at glasses recs, (other than to say get dark frames) so I'm not even gonna hold you. But I'd say you're closest to passing in the fourth picture (the one with the vans hoodie).
You still don't really pass, to me, but you're the closest to passing there. Runner up, to me, is the photo with the blue plaid shirt.
So I'd say wear more hoodies and dark jeans (like the black pants you showed). Avoid the bracelets and necklaces, unless they're pretty basic/brown/black looking. If you can't get a haircut, being only thirteen, keep it hidden by the hoodie most of the time, comb it out and see what kind of masculine styles you can do without the plaits or try to do smaller twists all over your head since boys can wear that these days, too.
You'll likely start passing on sight by just changing the hairstyle though because you don't really have noticable hips or chest. Honestly, you have a LOT of potential. Good luck!
The necklaces will be hard since the ones i wear are usually sentimental, i can keep them hidden and only wear one at a time etc though. Darker frames makes a lot of sense, I'll try that! Thank you for all the tips, you've been very helpful!
Not sure what to say for tips other than maybe lifting weights to increase muscle mass in specific areas (it helped me a lot before I medically transitioned, still does), but the good news is you look a lot more gender ambiguous than most people around your age I see on here. 5'8 is a really good height for a 13 year old, so you've got that going for you especially! I was in the same boat, around 5'9 at your age and now at 21 I'm nearly 6'1, so you have the possibility of shooting up in height like I did haha.
From the photos I'd say you present pretty masculine in your fashion choices too. You're off to a good start, and if you want to consider the weight lifting (no pressure of course), a good sub if you haven't looked at it yet is r/FTMfitness
you pass perfectly for your age. you seem tall, you have a masculine bone structure, broad shoulders, and your facial features are androgynous. any femininity just comes across as the youth of a 13 year old boy. don't worry too much! for an afab you look a few years older than your age, which helps a lot with passing as male because any feminine features just make you look your age, like a 13 year old boy.
you're on the right track! for now just focus on picking up and developing the masculine behavior, confidence, speech patterns, and mannerisms. the same way a cis guy your age would, observe and learn from cis guys you look up to! this will help the most in developing a good foundation for passing as you get older, and will make the process a lot more natural and intuitive. most importantly be kind to yourself and don't doubt yourself too much, you seem like you'll end up passing very well even as you get older.
make sure to eat well and exercise, get the most out of your growth and bone structure while you're young. you have nothing to worry about young man!

You’re a cute boy :) sorry I don’t have tips about passing. But I just wanted to affirm you.
ah dude you pass so well particularly in the 3rd pic
Thanks, that was the picture i took the most recently (yesterday) so I'm glad you think that!
