I hit 225 lbs on the bench yesterday, at a bodyweight of 122 lbs... I was 17 years old and 5"9 when I did this prior to this video...
...is this a pretty good bench for me?

Yeah, that's a pretty strong bench for someone who is 122 lbs.
That said, you have a lot of work to do considering your form. As you continue training, dont bounce the weight off your chest and keep your butt on the bench. This will not only help you get stronger but will get you more respect from other lifters.
Again, congrats on the weight. Even with poor form, that's pretty strong.Gym (170-180 lbs): 465 Squat, 300 Bench, 495 DL

There's a lot wrong with that video and the lift would be 3 reds. Get a good video with 80% of that weight and we could help you with technique.

This lift isn't me using any kind of competition form, rather just the touch and go casual gym type form... I usually don't train with competition form anyway so I know my form is going to be really off.
...what do you suggest I do for my form exactly? ...I'll upload another video of me using like 180 lbs instead, and concentrate more on my form, so you can really see what needs improvement.
EDIT: here is the video...
