I planned on starting investing as soon as possible, so as soon as I was old enough to open an account I started considering different online brokers. I stumbled upon Robinhood and thought it was interesting. Is it worth using that site for investing my sheckles? Also, what are some advantages other brokers have over Robinhood?

You cant short a stock with Robinhood.
The charting is very barebones.
But I use it.

It depends on how much money you have. If you invest long-term, the benefits of using Robinhoods are negligible. It's not available in my country yet, but I would be somewhat cautious about trading large volumes over a start-up. If you want to trade actively, sure, go for it, you'll be screwing over your IRR for expensive thrills and unearned feeling of accomplishment anyway.
