It is a good idea and a very good tasting one is called Muscle Milk.

If you want to put on muscle fast, protein with some other things work great. I use Syntha-6, it comes in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I started off with 1 scoop which is 22g of protein for the first week 3x a day. Then I moved to 2 scoops 3x a day, after a month you can go to 3 scoops 3x a day. I mix it with water but you can use milk if you like. If you use with creatin also it works great also.

Protein shakes are an easy way to add calories to your diet so yes they can be effective in gaining weight.
To gain weight you have to eat more calories than you burn. When adding calories, try to stay away from adding too much fat. While you can get fat from eating carbohydrates or protein, your body likes to use carbohydrates as fuel more than fat. To gain muscle, in addition to eating more you have to stimulate your muscles enough through resistance training that while they recover, they'll get bigger and stronger. To get an efficient workout you might want to join a gym if you aren't already a member.

Yes, you need to do lots of weight lifting too. Jamba Juice gives some good protein shakes.

Whey protein is the best one for gaining- drink it with breakfast and after working out because it repairs muscle.

Yes, they will help but a good diet will help a lot too. Remember vegs help with bulk too. I never knew that as a kid so I thought I was deformed and cursed to stay skinny. Also, if your genes don't say for you to get thicker at 15, then you can do all you can, you probably won't get skinny until your older.

consume extra energy. including protein shakes on your universal eating ordinary will upload energy. in case you save eating your universal eating ordinary. this is that night which you do no longer sense hungry so as which you pass dinner, or that morning that truthfully everyone sees you donning a huge sandwich with you considering the fact which you at the instant are not truthfully eating it.
