Hey I'm new to working out, I'm 16 years old, I weigh about 135, and I am about 5'8. I just started working out about 2 weeks ago for the first time ever, this is my current program right now.

5-10 minute cardio running
Streches
Machine chest press, Set # 1, 8 Reps of 70 pounds, Set #2, 8 reps of 80 pounds
Machine shoulder press, Set #1, 8 reps of 70 pounds, Set #2, 8 reps of 80 pounds
Machine leg extension, Set #1 , 8 reps of 70 pounds, Set #2, 8 reps of 80 pounds.
Cable seated row, Set #1, 8 reps of 70 pounds, Set #2, 8 reps of 80 pounds.
Bicemps curl, Set #1, 8 reps of 17.5 pounds, Set #2, 8 reps of 17.5 pounds
Bench dip, 2 sets of 10 reps.
Situps , 2 sets of 10 reps
and a light 5 minute cardio running

I do this every other day.
Is this a good routine, I plan on doing specific muscle workouts every day. Like arms one day, legs the other etc

I'm want to get bigger then I am right now, and the body fat that I have right now, I want to turn it into muscle, If I eat the same amount of food I am right now, will it help me get bigger, or do I need to eat more food then current.
 
Switch to free weights, you'll benefit more.
If your going to do one exercise per muscle group, 2 sets is not going to cut it. Keep it to 4-5.

When training you should always be able to do 3x15, so I recommend you change wights til that.

I don't get what you mean, do you mean that with the weight I do I should check first too see if I can do 3x15 with it, and then do my regular reps/sets with that weight.

Phate89 should I do 2 exercise per muscle goru? or more.
 
In my personal opinion, I suggest you focus on volume. I like to do around 20 sets per muscle group. But I only apply this for large muscle groups such as chest, back, shoulders, and legs. Muscles such as biceps, triceps, abs the sets are significantly lower. 3-5 sets each exercise, which adds up to 4-6 exercises per muscle group. But this would only be realistic if you were working one muscle group per day

In your case it looks like you are trying to do a full body workout, and in that case maybe this would work better:

10 minutes of cardio
Stretch
Bench Press OR Dumbbell Press, Set #1 12 Reps, Set #2 10 reps, Set #3 8 reps
Standing Military Press or Seats dumbbell presses
Squats
Pullups,

You can use the same rep scheme for each exercise. I think this should be the core of your workout, and anything else you want to focus on such as biceps, triceps, and abs should be done after this main workout.
