My knowledge on stocks isn't the greatest and I have been doing some research and plan on buying some. I'm just a little to young to do so right now and I'm just doing some research to get a better understanding

The most common way is to buy stocks and hope the price goes up (and, you then sell the stock at the higher price).
Another way would be to "sell short." You would offer to buy the stock, hoping the price goes down. If it goes down, you make money ... if the stock goes up, you lose money (I do a lot of short selling).
A third way it to buy stock that pays dividends. These are like interest.

You will need quite a bit of home work to understand the mechanics of stock market. There are many good sites for more info like:

You buy at $1.00 and wait and then you sell at $10.00
It's not exactly rocket science.
