When you reach puberty, you will have to start praying. Before that you can pray, but it's not obligatory. If you do not pray after attaining puberty, you will earn sin. But do not worry. Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) does not burden anyone beyond their capability. And the door of repentance is always open if you commit sins. The best thing, obviously, is to not commit sins as it's risky.
Accountability is waived for the child who has not yet reached puberty, until he reaches that stage, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (4403) and at-Tirmidhi (1423) from ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty and from the insane person until he comes to his senses.”

In al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (8/196) it says:
A person becomes accountable for fulfilling obligatory duties and refraining from haraam actions when he or she reaches puberty; one who has not reached puberty is not accountable … and (one who has not reached puberty) is not subject to qisaas (retaliatory punishments) and hadd punishments, such as those for stealing and slander. However, it is permissible for him to be disciplined. End quote.

So, you will have to take religious responsibility when you attain age of puberty. And Enjoy following Islam. ;]
