Ok, here is just an opinion poll, is sex what it's all cracked up to be? I have a really great girlfriend and I don't want to mess it up by having sex when I don't need to. Is it worth risking our relationship? Overall, should I have sex?
P.S I'm 13 years old and she's 14 and she wants it badly. Will it be ok to say no? My parents don't really care(although they should...). PLease comment.

Ultimately, it's a choice you're going to have to make for yourself. No one else should make that choice for you.
It's perfectly okay to say no, and really, if you're asking in general, then it's a good indicator that you're personally not ready to go that far, your age and the laws notwithstanding.
We do have some excellent articles addressing this very topic, so I'll link them for you. Take a look, and see if they help any:

I find it mighty odd to have you positing in one thread that you feel no one should masturbate because they should only have a first orgasm with a spouse, yet here be asking at 13 if you should be having sex right now.
