When a Jewish girl turns 12 she automatically becomes a bat mitzvah according to Jewish law, there is no choice in the matter. If the question is regarding the ceremony that is held to celebrate this event, there is no actual requirement for the ceremony, this is a modern practice.

It's more of an option than obligation. If you miss out as a child, you can do it as an adult.

What ceremony does a Jewish boy have to go through to show that he is a man?

This is actually a common misconception. When a Jewish male turns 13 he is considered to be an adult in regard to taking on the religious responsibilities of an adult Jewish male. This happens on his 13th birthday when he is a 'bar mitzvah'. When he turns 13 he reads from the Torah publicly for the first time and this is associated with his being a bar mitzvah. The ceremony doesn't make the person a bar mitzvah, it celebrates his being a bar mitzvah.
