You would need to go to a brokerage house, such as Scottrade or TD Ameritrade. They will have you fill out some papers and then you deposit money into your new account.

After that you can deposit more money by mail or transfer funds directly online from your bank.

The only requirement is that you be of age. If you are under age then you can have a parent or guardian open a custodial account for you.

Then you can ask the broker to buy shares of stock in your chosen company. You can do this at the time you set up your account or wait until you get home. When you are ready to buy, you can phone the broker or, most commonly, buy or sell shares directly on their web site.

The shares that you buy are kept on file at the brokerage. Many companies no longer issue certificates for shares but keep track electronically.

When or if your company issues a dividend, it goes directly to your account.

You can get more information at the broker's websites.

When you buy a share of stock, you are then one of the owners of that company. If you buy shares of a quality stock then you would be part owner of a money making business. It could be any of over 13,000 companies that are traded with stock on the open market such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Amazon.com, Ford, Krogers, your local bakery or electric company.

Go to your bank and ask them to set up a trading account for you. It is usually done free of charge. After the account is set up, you can enter your bank's trading website and begin trading stocks, bonds, etc using money you place in the trading account. Note that trading is quite expensive (usually $25 a trade) and there is a possibility you could lose all of your money. In order to trade stocks (buy or sell) you can't be a minor.
