What skateboard is suitable for me?

I want a skateboard. What is the best one for begginers?

• I have always wanted a skateboard, but I never had one. Well, I had a little kid's Barbie skateboard when I was between 4-7. But I have never had a REAL skateboard. I have been on skateboards in stores once or twice, and it seems like something I'd pick up easily. But what is the best board to get being that I am a beginner? I don't want to spend a small fortune on the skateboard, but I want it to be quality and something that I can learn off of. I need some experienced skaters to give me some advice :) Oh and I am a chick and I'm 15 years old, and I am about 5'5''. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
