How to get started in playing the stock market?

I am a 17 year old teenager and i want some tips on how to get started in playing the stock market?

You are young - so I guess you have a riskier trading profile than older people. You have the time to earn back money you lose - so perhaps most of your "playing" would be high risk high return ventures / trading.

How do I figure out how many shares of a stock can I buy for any given amount, without actually buying them?
