Unfortunatly BF3 has an age restriction because they are required to by law. IF the ESRB gives it M then it's 17+ period. IF battlefield allows an online code to be redeemed by an underage user they are violating the ESRB. Just like if your 12 year old child went into a movie by himself that was rated R, the movie theater would be violating the law. The easiest work around would be to create a new gamertag to play online that is "old" enought. As far I know microsoft will not allow you to change the age of any user for the lifetime of the gamertag. and please Remember to accept the solution if it's correct and press the XP button if somebody helped.

Ok but, I asked Microsoft if they could help and then they referred me here. They said that Electronic Arts could do something about it as I am allowed to play the games. I also don't want to make an account just to play Multiplayer because I don't see the point spending money on Xbox live just to play Multiplayer on a game.

workshop he is not an EA employee but a knowledgable fellow gamer since the Answer HQ is a community run self help forum. EA employees have "EA" in front of their user names.
