My parents put parental controls on my computer. how do i convince them that I’m mature enough to not need them? I’m 13 years old by the way.

It’s not about whether or not you’re mature; it’s about trust. Parents don’t put parental controls on computers or television channels because of immaturity; it’s due to a lack of trust, or due to the channel, or what they blocked on the computer, being too "mature" or too "explicit" or too "dirty" for you, as you’re thirteen.
What exactly did they block? Did they block a website, or did they block how much time you can spend on the computer? I suggest talking with them, and maybe reasoning with them. Offer to do chores or something around the house in order to get whatever they blocked on the computer unblocked.
