There's something you need to understand. If you can manage it on your own accord, no one can prevent you from reading a wiki or making comments or browsing social media sites. But I'm an adult, and I know you're 13, and I may be liable to your parents and applicable laws if they don't approve of the way I directly speak to you. It's similar to why Turtlepedia adopted Template:Teen and Template:Mature notices&mdash;not just to inform and assist parental discretion, but to help protect this site from angry parents. The assumption is, if a page is flagged mature, then it can be assumed the page intends to speak to an audience of adults, and parents can theoretically decide whether their child has any business being there. Even if parents aren't actively making those decisions&mdash;even if they don't care&mdash;until you're an adult, laws and social rules leave that decision ultimately to them, and I'm required to do so as well.
