I'm going to be 15, and I want to learn how to ride dirt bikes. My friend says I should get a 125cc, should I? I like the Suzuki 125, but what do you think?
I'd ride around in the dirt (I'm in AZ) and maybe go on some jumps after a couple days of experience.

Depends on what you want to do with the bike.
I have a Honda XR100 and love it (I am 5'10" and weigh 220!), but you will out grow it quick at your age.

I have a Yamaha YZ 125 and it may be too much for you as a beginner, plus it is a two stroke with little power at the low rev range.
I have a Suzuki DRZ 400 and it is really a great all around dirt bike. Will not motocross, but again it depends on what you want to do.
With all the above done for reference, I would suggest any four stroke in the 125 range if you are short or if you don't think you need an aggresive race/trails bike. Plus they are light and easy to ride. If you think you will progress to need a faster more capable machine buy a four stroke 250.
Any manufacturer will be a good choice.
I prefer the Suzuki though.
Hope this helps.
