It's like asking how does the universe work.....it's not that complicated and not that simple. Your young and unless you have a ton of disposable cash you should not "play" the stockmarket (if that's what your thinking).
First - you should be saving for the future. You should have some cash, then open a retirement account (if you work - if they have one, etc). Once you have "a plan" for the future, and maybe have some money outside of that - then and only then should you consider buying stocks.
Knowledge is power - you should learn the basics - what are stocks, where do they trade, how can I buy them, fees, etc. Find companies you like and follow them. Set up a quote screen, watch them....you can "pretend" or ghost trade for free on some sites...if your in school take a class! Whatever you do - don't listen to some guy saying "hey - I made a million dollars day trading and you can too"....and START SAVING FOR YOUR FUTURE"...OK?....
