Code:
mob/Characters
    var
        Active_Skill = "Bomb"
    
    proc
        Bomb()
            world<<"BOOM!"
            
obj/HUD
    Teh_Button
        Click()
            var/mob/Characters/M = usr
            
            //Now Im Lost...


Problem description: Ok, what I want to happen is to check what my Active_Skill is and call the corresponding proc when I click Teh_Button. As my variable is "Bomb", I want it to call Bomb(). Thanks.

Look up call().

I think what you want is:

mob/Characters
    var
        Active_Skill = "Bomb"
    
    proc
        Bomb()
            world<<"BOOM!"
            
obj/HUD
    Teh_Button
        Click()
            var/mob/Characters/M = usr
            call(M,"[M.Active_Skill]")() //the empty brackets are for any arguments you want to pass


I'm actually a bit confused about the syntax, so do make sure you look up call() since I might be wrong and it's useful anyway.

I'm a bit rusty on programming but I don't think you want var/mob/Characters/M = usr. I reckon you want:

obj/HUD
    Teh_Button
        Click()
            var/mob/Characters/M = new
            usr = M
            call(M,"[M.Active_Skill]")()

Your better off keeping them in a list.
mob
  var
   list/skills = list("Boom"=/mob/proc/boom,"bang"=/mob/proc/bang)
   skilltype 
   verb
     SetSkill()
       var/skill = input("Skill") as null|anything in src.skills
       if(!skill)return
       src.skilltype = skills[skill]
client
  Center()
    call(usr,usr.skilltype)()

If you have it like that, you don't even need an associative list, you could use text2path() instead.
