Yet another 'new guy'

Hey hey.

Well, I'm pretty much one of those 'skinny guys' - I'm in my final year of highschool and I just want to put on some weight, especially on my arms.
My problem is, that I don't live anywhere near a gym, nor can I afford membership. I'm actually quite (very) short on cash, so I can't afford any new equipment - all I have is a good old dumbbell (sadly, only one) - it has 2 x 2.5kg weights, and 2 x 1.25kg. I think the bar is about 2kg.
I've been looking around for some help, but most sites assume you have access to a gym/other equipment, which I obviously don't.
So I came here, and I'm hoping that someone can give me some suggestions.
Any help would be really appreciated.
:)

Edit: Oh, I'm about 55kg, and 176 cm tall.
Body fat is pretty much non-existent ;)

Since you can't get to a gym then if you want to start adding weight your just gonna have to eat more. Here are some exercises you can do also:

Hindu Squats, Lunges, Squats
Pushups
Pullups
Ab workouts (like russian twist, v-ups, leg ups, crunches, planks)
Calve Raises

Thats the best you can do without a gym. But its not all that bad. Diet plays 90% of your sucess. So as long as your eating more and protein filled food you should get bigger.
 
There are websites centered around bodyweight exercises (one of them is called BodyweightCulture I think).

Eating right has a LOT to do with the results you will see, so definitely look around and read the stickies at the top of the forums around here.

These are all good, I'd try and find a way of incorporating dips too.

make sure not to just eat alot but eat healthy. Try eating more lean meats and maybe invest in a weight gain powder

Don't bother with a weight gainer, you might as well just buy protien powder and chuck a load of sugar in it. If you feel the need to supliment then Whey and Creatine are all you'd need but these are still no match for a good diet.

Up your calories, up the protien content and lift
