I dont know where to get any cheap protein bars. Youre light, so dot get any low carb bars. Get bar with carbs in them but make sure to watch where the carbs come from. If tehre is more than 10 grams of sugar i one bar then do not get it because it is too much sugar. Just remember one thing, dont go to GNC, t hey are a rip off. Try and go to ebay, they have cases on sale for pretty cheap.

Haven't you started training yet?!
Just do something, anything, the longer you hold off, the longer you stay away from your goals.
In 2 years - yeah very achievable. You could achieve that in one year if you were motivated enough
I myself have made dramatic changes to my own appearance in the last 10 months. From a fat and skinny 215lbs with a 40+inch waist down to a much leaner and bigger 192lbs with currently a 32.75 inch waist at 5'9".
wish I had taken pics of myself when I was at 215, damn what a change!! Needless to say people around me here are somewhat freaked out

May I suggest the old school routine, or some variation? Guaranteed to put on good weight in like 8 weeks. That's a definite start.

Don't make this complex. You'll make amazing progress as a newbie, and the main thing that will limit your gains is food intake. I didn't really begin to GROW until I started eating 6-7k cals a day. You may think you're eating a lot, but you probably aren't. Count your total cals and protein tomorrow and you'll be surprised how low it is.
Keep your lifts heavy and simple, then go home and eat. Sleep well. Don't waste your potential drinking. Drink a crapload of water. The only supplements you need now are protein powder and a multi-vitamin. Keep a positive attitude and you will explode into a scary damn monster. Keep us posted on your progress.
Oh yeah.....EAT!

I started training, but then i had other things going on and i had no time to eat.. so i stopped...
So basically eat whenever i can? Eat meals mainly with protein and carbs? No carbs after a certain time? as low of fat as possible?
Protein bars are about the only thing i could take to school.. if anyone knows where to find some cheap ones online, that would be great.
I might give old school a shot...
Thanks again

In college, I made snacks before school. I'd make up a couple chicken breasts and put them into a tubberware container with some rice. Or Tuna with peas and beans. Although my fellow classmates didn't appreciate the tuna all that much. I'd also have a couple of premixed myoplex shakes in bottles. Protein bars typically won't cut it. If your teacher has a problem with your food, convince them that you have a medical condition that requires a high caloric diet.
Don't limit your fat intake. I eat 2 natural peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a day. There's a lot of fat in those, but its fat that you want. Even the bad fat plays a part to an extent. Good luck
Most of the protein bars i see online are like $30 for 12 bars...
Is that a good price?

My high school doesn't allow any food, it's really stupid. I can sneak in something small but the only thing i can think of is a protein bar. I could put those in my pockets and no one would know.
