Because paintballs are coming at you at around 204mph. Something with a hard shell and liquid fill will sting on the impact spot with the equivalent pain of a thick rubber band snap to the back of the neck.

Would a paintball hurt a 13 year old boy who takes hard skateboard falls each day?

Yes paintballs will hurt. All guns will hurt about as much as a thick rubber band snap on the back of the neck, but wherever you get hit. If you can handle large scrapes and bruises, then you will defiantly be able to handle paintballs, which do not break the skin (if chronographed correctly) and hurt for less time.
