I am 13 yrs old and a christian wounder how old you think a person should be befor gonig through
the waters of baptisam by full submersion?

Water has no magical properties.
Drinking it is essential to survival and swimming in it is good for health and fitness.
You're right, water has no magical properties, and thank God that Christians understand that!
What type of person uses a child to start this tired conversation again?
I think you are too young to be asking total strangers. Talk to your parents or your pastor face to face.
I don't think you're too young if you understand what it is you're doing. A lot of young people get baptized because, well, that's what people do when they're Christian, right? But any church worth being the salt (and most churches take this pretty seriously) have a class of some kind about what baptism is and what it represents. There's a reason why people in other countries sometimes get killed for being baptized. But if you've studied it and can comfortably give an answer about how you're being baptized into Jesus' death and what this means to you, then go for it.
However, this should only be part of the conversation. You should also talk to your parents and pastor, I fully agree.

My personal experiences came at many times and intervals of my life. When I first accepted Christ, I was young and didn't quite understand as I really didn't "feel" any different. What I mean by that is, I saw people all around me really feeling the presence of the Lord in them, through...

How does one determine that their baptism by water and fire is correctly done by authority?Most people recognize authority, and in the Christians world, for example, baptism by immersion is the first step back to God. The drawback on this matter is the number of times one needs to be baptized...
