Ok the first thing you need to do is unlock the background layer, double click the samll pic on the layers palette, then click ok to the pop up box, what this does is lets you delete the white background and leave it transparent (so you can add another background)
You will then need to remove the white background, the magic wand tool might do this ok, but it depends on the pic, otherwise you could try one of the lasso tools or even the eraser (when you remove the background it will leave a checker pattern, that is to show it's transparent)
When you have removed all the unwanted white your ready for the next step. Now open your new background, using the move tool click and drag the photo of you onto the new background, you can resize it now if you have to (I'd use the free transform) It sounds a lot but with a little practice it won't you very long.

Here are the 3 stages
New background, original with background removed and original
