Um if you never went to gymnastics before, can you still join even though you're thirteen or older?
I wanted to join gymnastics so just get a little flexible when I was little but we had no money and now when I excercise and try to kick up the highest i can get is a kindergarden's height even though i'm skinny.

It's true that some gyms group all beginners together, meaning you may be with younger kids. But many gyms have beginning classes just for older girls. Call all the gyms in your area and ask how their classes are structured as far as age divisions.
If it's really important to you to be with girls your own age, you might try a tumbling class (which most gyms offer). You won't do beam, bars or vault, but you may use a trampoline, and you'll learn cartwheels, roundoffs, flip flops, etc, while gaining strength and flexibility. Tumbling classes are usually filled with girls your age who are wanting to improve their tumbling for cheerleading.
