How to look into high risk stocks?

Hello,

I just want to start by saying I am fairly new to the stock market and investing in general. I took some classes and played stock market simulations in high school/college to understand the fundamental basics.

Anyway recently I was looking over my budget and found out I am wasting money each month and would like to channel that into learning a new skill (investing/stock market). I figured I am blowing about $100 on random stuff, so for the the next year I want to put this into the stock market. My goal at this time is to take $100 a month that I know I will just lose and try it in the stock market. I have $1200 set aside but ideally ill be taking the $100 out of my paychecks each month instead of blowing it all at once.

Once I gain more familiarity I will probably begin investing in something more stable I can let grow for years. I am posting on here because I am trying to find best way of going about finding/managing high volatile or the riskier stocks. I just accept that this money would be gone regardless but I can try buying stocks and selling if it gains a 25% minimum increase. I might win some, might lose some, hell might lose it all, who the hell cares still cheaper than booze and drugs. Just looking for a little assistance with the best way to navigate this goal. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
