Would I be able to get a apartment with 2 friends all with minimum wage?
All 3 of us have minimum paying jobs and were thinking about about getting a apartment together with a room for all of us.
Would we be able to get by on all our bills and keep up on rent splitting the bills? And also how would we be living, like just barely having enough money or some extra money to go out and do stuff.

It totally depends on where you live. In NYC - no way. In Austin, TX - maybe. In some small town in middle America - probably.
You need to find out how much 3 bedroom apartments rent for, how much your bills will be, how much each of you will make and then decide. Whatever you do - pay your bills on time and don't spend more than you make. I hope you can find a way to have a fun, happy life!

how much money you bring home in 1 1/2 weeks , that is how much you can afford to pay for rent. then you will have utilties , electricity , etc . That is another few days pay. for 3 people to share.
If you can find a really cheap place to rent , so you each will work for 2 weeks a month to pay for your housing , the other 2 weeks earnings will be for fun and food and some savings.
if one person has a car , dont expect them to be the other peoples taxi service.
all depends on where you live and how much the rent is where you live.

if you're earning minimum wage then you should stay living at home and attend the nearest community college until youhave 2 years of schooling in and you get your AA degree. Or in the alternative stay living at home until you get some certificate/degree from a vocational school. Don't leave home until you get your 4 year degree or have a professional job and are making decent money or you're really asking for trouble. You can of course both work and school at the same time, pay for your schooling one course at a time.
Moving in with friends is trouble but with the 3 of you on low wages you're simply not going to make it. Plus if you live at home you might be able to come under your parents health insurance.
