What's the question? If you want to know if benching 100lbs at 14 years old is good, ya, sure. But we don't know anything about you. So, you need to fill out your profile.

Have you been working out long? Do YOU think 100lbs is good?

jimmy, the bench press isn't the be all end all of weight lifting... so, don't judge your strength based on what you can or can't bench.

Overall, I guess 100lbs for a 13 almost 14 year old is good. Keep at it and you'll be pushing bigger numbers... but, again, bench press isn't the best indication of strength.

Deadlifts and squats are a better indication of overall strength, yes.

Grab a fitness plan from FT (they are free) and have a go at it. You need to have a more organized go at it.
