Well, being 13 yoa, I'm sure its been very stressful not being able to pronounce certain words clearly. It actually is a rather simple procedure. Some dentists can do it for you. First starts out with an injection under your tongue (OUCH, I know, but maybe he can prescribe you an oral sedative, or you can have some nitrous->gas). Then he can use this awesome device called an electrosurge, that has a circle shape on the tip. Using a pair of hemostats, gently grasp your tongue, and it almost just melts the tissue. Thus, relieving the "tongue tie."
I think this condition is called ankyloglossia.
Hope this helps
