Sign up to a online brokerage like etrade.com. Its like a bank account. Then you can transfer money to it online and look up stocks that you want to buy then click on buy. You can choose how many shares and what you max price will be. Its pretty cool i use etrade. It also shows you your profits and losses in dollars and % so you can keep track of how much % and money you make on your money.

There are many online brokerages you could use, can't tell from your photo, but if your not an adult a parent or guardian would have to open an UTMA account for you.
I use Scottrade, and they have access to S&P Reports on many companies including Amazon. Also, your local library probably subscribes to the Value Line Investment Survey. Both of these are good places to start your research before you invest.
They will talk about things like P/E ratios, Return on Equity, etc. I would learn what these are telling you before you invest too heavily.
Buy what you view as good companies and hang on to them. Over time you want to have at least 30-40 different companies in different industries to be diversified.
Don't be afraid to make a mistake or two along the way, and if you do don't be afraid to sell.

Well, not only could you go through a brokerage house but you could go through the transfer agent for the company as well if you just want to purchase shares of that company.
