If you have a mobile phone, you can use the apps or in built measurement device that measure steps on your android phone and IOS phone (Apple).
You can also download, the healthy 365 app on your phone.
You may also try to download the fitbit app but you will need your parent to set up an account for you. (You do not need the fitbit watch but must use a phone)
You may also want to download a runkeeper app but you will need your parent to set up an account for you. 

You may look for me for both fitbit and runkeeper.
