I have to echo the earlier advice. A good vocal coach will help you get the most out of your voice and keep you from falling into bad habits that can lead to throat polyps.
If you can't afford it, listen to how the best singers use their voices, their phrasing, their breathing, the way they pick material that is suited for their voices (not all songs are suited for all singers), the attack of the notes as they go up and down the registers, how they use their headtones (the natural timbre of their voice that results from how their head and throat are constructed) and just the overall feel for the songs.
The first thing you need to work on is breathing from your navel. If you breathe from your chest or throat you can really injure your vocal cords. That will also enable you to generate more power and you will be able to go up and down your range easier.
Then solidifying your sense of pitch. Gotta hit those notes on the nose or it sounds like crap. This takes practice and the ability to really listen to what tones are coming out of your mouth.
Good luck. I can't sing at all. You probably came out of the womb better than me.

I've heard many times that with proper training, a voice can improve greatly. That doesn't mean you can turn into Christina Aguilera if you don't already have some of that talent, but you can work with your voice and get it to it's fullest potential.
Voice training is the best way to do that. Find a music teacher who offers lessons. This can be expensive and time consuming, but if you really want to improve your voice then it is worth it.
Maybe you can join your school choir? There you will get lots of practice warming up, singing, and reading music.
You can look up vocal warm ups online (google, youtube, etc.) and other voice exercises to extend your range.

Most of all, keep trying new things and practicing.
Good luck,
