Replying to manual cars

i recently got a new car. i used to have a 04 wrx in automatic, because i was jsut learning to drive and my mom thought that would be best. but i got sick of the shitty pick up, so today i went and bought a brand new 05 but this time i got stick. but ive never really driven stick and it sucks learning, like i keep worrying im gonna fuck up my car. my friends keep saying it took them a few day but i dunno. any tips? and how long did it take you guys to learn? bluh i jsut wanna go rally my car but im too damn blonde or somthing
