What should be a 13 yeat old's lichess rating?

Hello, I am 13 years old. And right now I have 1101 bullet rating on lichess.org. I was wondering what should it be for to become a good local chess player. How many points do I need?
There are 13 year old who are already grandmaster.
It depends on when you started, on your talent, your persistency, and your effort.
A normal progress is about 100 rating per year.
It also depends on what you consider a good local chess player: 1800, 2000, 2200?
This is quite a vague question. Since you are a 13-year-old, in my opinion, 1500+ will be a good rating for you as will surely make it over 2000 if you are consistent.
If you live near Carlsen's home then you will need 3200 to become a good local player. :)
I don't know how many years a yeat is, but for most people, if you are a casual chess player (meaning not hardcore), then 1400-1700 is good.
bullet is not really chess so hard to tell. In OTB tournamens fro kids I've arbitring 13 yo range from 1100 to 2200. Average being probably around 1500 or dash below. Obviousli biased sample. Average lichess players are quite bit weaker than average OTB players. So you have make up your own mind
@petri999 The 50th percentile on lichess is usually a tad bit above 1500, between 1510 and 1590 usually for bullet, blitz, rapid, and classical games.

For ultrabullet, it's like 1390-1430...
Thank you guys! I really needed your opinions.
@SavageAntarctican yes median will be aroun 1500 in lichess because that is starting rating and there is big influx of new players. Rating system is close enough of zero-sum game that this is the case. But we can assume that on averta 13 yo are not top of the distribution. But with bullet.... dunno mouse speed is more important than calculation ability maybe young people are better on that on average.

BUt I agree being around 2500 means you are around the averga of the site
If you want to progress,
then do not play bullet or blitz, play rapid and classical only.
Whenever you lose a game, analyse it thoroughly.
