It's great that you're interested in learning at such a young age. The best part about living in today's world is that the dissemination of knowledge is massive. Being here on Bigger Pockets is a resource that has no ends. 

If you really have a drive to learn, listen to podcasts (I listen to Bigger Pockets podcast every time I'm in the car). Read books. The local library will likely have some that you don't have to pay for. Watch YouTube videos. Learn what you can and if you have questions, do what you did here: post it. 

If you're just starting out, what I would recommend is that you learn a little about all the different aspects of investing and determine which one you feel suits you best. From that point, focus in on that particular field and learn, learn, learn. I would also recommend that you educate yourself on what it takes to get investors on board. Learn what it takes to get bank loans and start working toward meeting those requirements. Once you meet those requirements, by that time you should be well versed in the field that you find most intriguing. You should be able to speak knowledgably and impress others with your understanding of various relevant concepts. 

Keep learning. You won't go wrong when you let your passion guide you.
