My parents told me when to shift, but they never told me why...So can you guys/ladies help me out?

I tried to answer your question twice - but it always sounded more complicated than it really is - but then I found this:

which is fairly self-explanatory. Although I would also add that the object of the game is to keep the rev counter down vis a vis your speed, so that your engine is working as efficiently as possible; in that way burning less fuel and keeping the engine cool.
