If you're in college (or a really good high school, which is rare), you could take an Introduction to Programming class. This isn't necessarily the best (or cheapest, even if it's a community college/junior college) way to learn how to program, but the advantage is they'll start you at the very beginning and teach you all of the fundamentals. If you teach yourself just how to program the things you need to program, it might take you far longer than it should to grasp the importance of things like For loops, arrays, or data structures.
If you like book learning, you could go to Amazon, a bookstore, or your local library and pick up a book on programming in the language of your choice. Start at the beginning of the book, do some of the exercises, try the quizzes, and you'll probably learn stuff.
Online resources like Code.org, Codecademy, W3Schools, or good videos are also worth checking out, of course.
Whichever resource you choose to help you learn, programming is one of those things you learn best by doing.
