First off, if you are level 40, play the nonvet campaign, secondly, look on youtube for some ESO PVP videos, they will help and give you some ideas on top of that, look at different builds for your class.

Thirdly, find a nice group, especially when you are starting out, it makes things much more fun and also less chance of being destroyed.

so i need some information about pvp..
i'm someone who is gonna pvp alot, cause i love it.. but..
do i have to be vet 16 to be able to win battles? be able to kill people in pvp? i'm lvl 40 and i went imperial city to pvp and i kinda got destroyed.. i'd barelly do any damage on a vet 16 + they group up on me and i'm instant death.. should i wait for a certain level to pvp?

There are level 40s who can kill VR16s because of the changes to battlescaling, but that requires that you have the proper gear and experience for PvPing with your class. Trying to 1vX against multiple V16s is going to get many players killed, not just a level 40. I have leveled characters from level 10-50 in the non-vet campaign but also have had non-vet characters visit unrestricted (i.e. all levels allowed) campaigns and had fun.

Tamriel Foundry is a great place to find build ideas and ask advice, as is the PvP mechanics section here on the official forums. As Farorin mentioned YouTube is another great place to look for inspiration for PvP builds, and you can see them in action to see if they are right for you.

Farorin is also correct that you will want to be in a group at first to get used to the speed and dangers involved in PvP. You will eventually learn which abilities you need to keep on hand to keep pressure on an opponent while minimizing the damage you take. And that some abilities require line-of-sight, so running behind a wall keeps you from being targeted by those abilities. And so on. You can read advice and guides on PvP and watch videos, but the sooner you get into it the faster you will really learn.

Here are some simplistic, overly basic PvP links to help you get started:
