Good on you mate for taking some initiative! You’re only thirteen so you’ve got a lot of growing ahead of you. Martial Arts would definately give you a lot more confidence at school. In regards to you wanting to do Muay Thai and BJJ, i wouldn’t recommend doing both styles at your age. It takes a long time to use BJJ efficiently, especially on the streets where there is concrete and other hard obstacles. I believe you should just concentrate on one stand-up style. Boxing is just as good as Muay Thai on the streets. But since theres a Muay Thai facility close to you i reckon that’s the way to go. Just remember to train hard and eat healthy!
I hope this helps mate!

you should be fine learning both
I’ve never had a problem confusing techniques. Try to learn some wrestling too because I found doing BJJ I get too comfortable on my back, which is trouble in a street fight especially if you are a beginner in BJJ.

I think any Martial Art is good for confidence… i suggest to go and try the classes and talk to the Master that is there and what he/she thinks is best.. its possible to do both at once its all about your commitment to your training ie.. you get what you put in type of thing, also any training is better then no training…. it takes time to understand body control and timing of the fight, strength is not just physical fight smart if there bigger go for the knees and joints.. but thats just my two cents. Hope it helped

muay thai is the use of shin kicks elbows and knees…..you might not be able to reach them
BJJ however is a phenominal idea also join wrestling …simply because with your size it would be easy to take someone down quickly…. as far as stand up goes i don’t know what to tell you…maybe you should try boxing and incoorperate head movement and your punches will reach their head
your primary gameplan is the wrestling though
also lift weights if youre only 90 pounds….just plz do me a favor…i know you probably want to do all this fast which is cool but whatever you do do not take steroids..i know enough people like you who want to get big quick and then use steroids … plz don’t
