Oohhhhhh, that explains it. I remember being that age and trying to program. Your brain isn't set enough to really get the concepts yet, unless you're very unusual. I was always writing programs that didn't do anything. Look at my last post near the bottom of the page; as for the rest, focus on exactly what you're doing - don't get distracted, and always remember to use the absolute simplest method possible to solve a problem. General syntax for VB can be found on msdn.microsoft.com, but here's some:

Dim a as new object (arguments)

a: is the name of the object

new: this is a specialized function that creates a new instance of an object. An object is like a blueprint, an instance of the object is like a building built from that blueprint. Think of all those identical suburban houses as instances of a House object.

object: can be any object - integer, textbox, filestream, bitarray, whatever. Not everything can be declared as "New."

Arguments are other objects that the object needs to generate an Instance. For example, the BitArray needs to get its bits from somewhere. Therefore, you tell it "use this array of bytes to make an array of bits" by passing in an argument that is an array of bytes.

dim b as byte means make one byte
dim b() as byte means make an array of bytes
dim b(10) as byte means make an array of 11 bytes (0 counts as a number).

This is only a beginning. You've got a long way ahead of you; I'd take a month or so to get really familiar with the objects in question. Use the help files, get to know the buzzwords that have definite, set meanings. Don't give up. If you learn to program at your young age, it'll be in your bones like it never can be if you only learn in University.
