Also what do you guys think about like biking shorts and all that is any of that needed or no?
Also is there any bikes like the one I just linked to for under $500 thats decent?
Welcome To Bike Forums, Noreturn!
You're still growing...Therefore, you really do want to keep the cost down. It would be best to stick to 26 inch, entry level, hardtail mountain bikes, until your growing is complete.
I would recommend that you get MTN bikes similar to these:
The Schwinn Frontier Elite MTB ~ $495

Jamis Trail X3 MTB ~ $550

* MTB = mountain bike
PS.
Try to always get MTB forks with the lockout feature. Always keep it on Lockout, until you really need the use of the suspended fork.
Good Luck!
