When I was 14 or so, I invested in a 10 yr bond. Right now, I am contributing about $350 per paycheck to two different investment companies. I'm only 20 and I would recommend that you start now before it is too late. As said above, read and learn on your own. The only person that I listen to about my investments is the broker that I go to. So far, she has made me a little bit of money.
Also, if your current job has a stock program. I recommend inquiring about some information about that. Every paycheck, 6% comes off and invests in the company stocks. I think so far I have about $400 in stocks and I have been there about 4 months.
But it is up to you. Find a direction that you want to go. Long term, short term, high risk, medium risk.... there are many different options. Ask questions, even if it may sound stupid, you are going to learn something from it none-the-less.
Good luck!
