how to get a flat stomach?

Answers:
I've had the same difficulty you have. At the age of 29, I am able to embarass the asker by saying, "no honey, it's just fat" when they ask how many months pregnant I am. But from my own experience at your age, I remember that they just won't believe you in school.
The only things I can tell you follow the lines of your other answerers. The crunches are a good start, and they can work well with other torso exercises. (However, be sure you "sit-up" as you exhale or it can make the problem worse!) The torso exercises are usually some form of exercise involving small weights (3lb or so, you don't want to bulk up!) and doing repetitive movements swinging from side/down to opposite side/up.
You also might want to try walking, paired with arm swinging. It looks strange, but if you have the bent elbows and actually move them consciously -- not just swinging by reflex -- it's supposed to help your torso get into shape. There are also elastic stretch-bands that you can use to do leg exercises, and these will help tone as well.
One other thing is the water suggestion. You know the old health suggestion to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day? Well, that's not caffeinated soda -- it's water! Caffeine is a problem in this also. Water will literally help to "wash out" your system, and initially it may help you to lose 5 lbs and its corresponding inches quickly. It also keeps you hydrated and feeling like you have more energy, which will help you to become more active. Moving around can help with that also.
Last, you are 13 and likely in your growth spurt stages now, and the abdomenal muscles will likely slim down as you grow. Some of the "pudgy" people I knew in elementary and junior high school became the very slender people in high school! At your age, it's never too early to begin exercising and drinking water -- but don't go to any extremes or begin starving yourself. The exercise and water should help you now, and it will continue to be helpful all your life if you make it a regular habit.

The best way is to do a whole lot of walking. One hour in the morning and one hour at night. WIthin a few weeks you will notice a big difference.
well for your age it's perfectly normal, have you hit puberty yet? If you feel overweight drink lots of water. situps i dunno

Well I'd say u should walk a lot and do sit-ups every nite.

http://www.google.com well, dont stop eating cause that would be bad. Ask your docter for diet pills say that it runs in your family or you could try running like on a tred-mill. It's works and stop eating food about 2 hours before you go to bed so all that food doesnt sit in you while you sleep!
