Does anyone who works out and lifts weights have any tips for me?

I’ve been using my school’s gym for a few months now but I just go from one machine to another or use dumbbells. I want to get broader shoulders and a bigger chest, and work out my upper arms but I feel that I’m walking into a sea of terminology and technique that I know nothing about. Sooo if anyone has any tips to help me get started, maybe a protein shake that you think works well or a general workout plan that you use haha.

I’m tired of being disappointed in myself because I still have the body of a skinny 12 year old girl and it really kills me to look in the mirror. I actually feel like I have to apologise for being this horribly scrawny and skinny man ”boy”. But the thing that makes me feel even worse for worrying about how I look is that it’s totally unjustifiable. I don’t struggle with depression, I have a safe, secure home and a loving family and I still can’t be happy with myself. I’m the epitome of pathetic when it comes to things like this.
