Don't worry, at 13 you should be traveling as an escorted minor. That means a gate agent for United will be your personal guide to make sure you get from one plane to the other. 50 minutes is very common for a change of planes. The airlines take the security and protection of a minor VERY seriously. They will even hold the connecting flight for you, while if an old person is late, they close the door. So, hopefully you won't worry. They will have you well taken care of, and worrying is supposed to be just for parents.

You should research the airline to see their policies about minors travelling on their own - I think most either have the option of someone escorting you, or they force you to. I've travelled on my own before (I forget what airline) but since I was under 15 they made me be escorted on and off the plane by a flight attendent or someone else.
