During the actual service, the parents participate in certain prayers, and in the ritual of passing the Torah from generation to generation (grandparents to parents to bar/bat mitzvah). In addition, the parents make a "speech" to the bar/bat mitzvah telling them how the event strengthens the family and how proud they are, etc.
They become obliged to follow the Commandments, which they did not have to do before. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony formally marks this obligation, as well as the right to take part in leading religious services, to count in a minyan (the minimum number of people needed to perform certain parts of religious services, to form binding contracts, to testify before religious courts and marry.
A boy becomes bar mitzvah when he turns age 13. That means that he is personally responsible for his actions, while as a child, his parents were responsible for his actions. Among the adult responsibilities, the actual bar mitzvah celebration typically revolves around the the first time the boy is counted toward a minyan (the quorum of adult Jews required to hold a full communal prayer service), the first time the boy is called up for a portion of the Torah reading, and the first time the boy wears a tallit or (if celebrated on a weekday) tefillin at a service. If the boy is able, the boy typically does some or all of the Torah reading and leads some or all of the service.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
Yes, the boy is called 'a/the bar mitzvah' which translates as 'son of mitzvah'. For a girl, it would be 'a/the bat mitzvah' 'daughter of mitzvah'.
The key player in the Bar Mitzvah boy is the 13 year old Jewish boy, his family and friends are invited to join in the celebration. For more info on Bar Mitzvah check out http://www.yourjewishspeech.com/bar-mitzvah
Bat Mitzvah

For answering this question I need to know if you are going the the Bar Mitzvah or not. Usually in a Bar Mitzvah There is a ceremony with a party, and then it's customary to bring a present and not just a card. If you are not going to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony you can only send a card. Should you go to the Bar Mitzvah or not? It's totally up to you and how close you are with the family.
