By age 13 girls who want to start pointe are mostly through puberty. Their bones in their ankles are strong enough to support themselves on pointe. They will not stint the growth of bones in their feet, because (again) they are mostly through puberty and done growing. Also, by age 13 (if they started Ballet when they were younger) they should be strong and have good turnout. At 13, girls should really be able to decide if they actually want to start doing pointe or do ballet at all.

How long does it take to get on pointe?
It depends on how long you have been dancing and the dance school you're in. Usually the norm is to give it 3-4 solid years of training and prep (not particularly pre-pointe, but at least working up to that) For the average dancer who starts around 6-8 years of age the normal time to start pre-pointe and pointe is around 13 and 14 years of age. If you start later it will depend purely on how quickly you strengthen and learn dance, on your body type, and when your instructor says you're ready to begin.
