What do you hav to say about khalistan?

Khalis means the truth....
First we must realise the truth.... Then once it's realised in ourselves, we need to come back to the world to spread the truth.... True knowledge which comes from inside:
Sunnia: Sat santokh gian (japji sahib)
Then help others realise the truth, like mahapurks do... Then you will get the truth Khalistan

Im 14 and im sikh but not amritdhari. Ive had many amritdharis or sants that come to the gurdwara just looking deep in my eyes and smile at me when they wont to others and others get jelous and are always asking me why me? Could you explain whats happening please?

Lol don't take notice of it.... Ego will grow and your journey will slow.
Just progress on the gurus path... read gurbani, jap naam and SEVA!!!!
Try doing Seva of the mahapuraks if you can.

Gur Fateh Khalsa Ji Veerji- could you please help to understand how these 2 verses are contradictory. - Eh Jag Sachhe ki Hai Kothri, Sache ka vich vaas And then - Jag Rachna Sab Jhooth Hai, Jana leu re meet

Veerji gurbani is living and depending on the individual or the state of mind the person is at the time they read gurbani will affect their interpretation of gurbani Ji.
So this interpretation of the gurbani is depending on where you have reached in your avasta.... As you jap naam and connect to vaheguru then you may begin to renounce the world and say its fake as you begin to see the actual truth.... But then we need to get past even this and connect back to the world so we can help but also because we have seen vahegurus bigger game at play :D

I need to get rid of bad karma. Help. please, I need good things in my life

It's a want to have good things and not a need.
Firstly do ardas to vaheguru and if your true about this then give your head to vaheguru . By that I mean take Amrit, if you truly want good things. Vaheguru will give you a rehit to stick to so you path is direct to them, and will also tell you to read gurbani, sing kirtan and finally jap naam so that you become conscious to the truth around you.
Dukh parhir, sukh ghar lae jai (japji sahib)
Push pain away and bring stillness into the house of your body. Ie bring the gurus teachings and vahegurus name within your inner being.... This will erase past karmas and bring to you what you need according to vaheguru to have true sukh.... Not worldly sukh.

Although, legally, we can wear any type of dastaar to ride a motorcycle, in the UK, would you say it is acceptable for Singh's who tie the UK/less larhs style to wear a helmet instead? Safety etc

Yh I would, but they could just tie bigger dastar lol.
But uh this human life is incredibly valuable... Need to take care of our bodies so we can connect to vaheguru

I read Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji but I don't understand more than 90% of what I'm reading. Should I keep reading even though I have no idea what I'm reading? Is there any benefit?

Yes definitely , we can't see changes with our external sensory organs but our internal organs begin to flourish.
With this I would suggest reading the English translations and try contemplating on oarts of gurbani which you really like.
Along with this jap naam as this will begin to awaken your consciousness and so the way you view with your external organs as well
:D

Is it okay to use nicotine chewing gum?

No, but if your trying to quit smoking then it's a step in the right direction.
The aim is to leave behind all these attachments and attach ourselves to his name.... The one thing which brings everlasting relief and anand

My school doesn't allow the kirpan so can I wear a khanda kirpan as an alternative

Try contacting sikh helpline they've helped other children explain to schools the significance of wearing a kirpan.
But if there's a problem either wear a small necklace Kirpan with a mian or place a shastar in your dastar

Before human life, did single celled organisms have a hukam from God? Was there any way they could get mukti?

Lol who cares ?
We worry about silly things when we should be worrying about our own jeevan and whether we follow hukam.
But yes, hukam is basically all if vaheguru a law so there would have been laws such as the law of gravity etc.
In regards to mukti, only humans can have the chance of that so no :)

If someone asks you to prove that rakhi is not permitted in Sikhi, and challenges you to "show me where it is written that it's forbidden", how do you answer? Also they say it's not superstition like the jeneu thread, etc.

I think you misunderstand the concept here. Its not about forbidding things explicitly, but that they are not part of the Sikh tradition. Punjabis and Indians follow the ancient tradition of Rakhi, but its not the Khalsa shasterdhari way. You may as well ask where is it forbidden that we cant wear a cross or get married around a fire or even go kiss the wall of Jerusalem or go sing Christmas Carols. These are just not Sikh traditions. You can do them, but dont confuse the two. Singhs don't need a Rakhi to protect a woman nor a Kaur needs a man to defend herself.

if I listen to Sukhmani Sahib on youtube every day (or every other day) will my feelings of emotional hurt and pain eventually fade away and will I feel mental peace?

Listening to Gurbani with concentration, then accepting the teachings and finally putting them into action will undoubtedly give us mental peace. Guruji is Sukhdaataa (Giver of Peace) and walking his path will mean he showers us with his blessings. Like a doctor gives us medicine, then Guruji gives us bani, but we must put that into practice as well. Chanting Gurmantar, reading bani, singing kirtan in sadhsangat, living honestly, fighting the 5 vices of Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Pride and embracing the 5 virtues of Truth, Contentment, Compassion, Justice and Forgiveness, these are all part of the Gurus path.

If you've taken chola , should you immediately start wearing the kirpan and other K's or only when you are planning to take amrit ?

Should try and keep panj Kakkars and Rehat with Nitnem. See what your Panj Piare say.

I feel like a fake. Everything I do is a farce. When I matha ten I have no sharda. I never concentrate during nitnem. Sometimes even when I listen to kirtan I feel nothings there

Don't give up - just keep going and realise you're nothing infront of Guru Sahib. Do Ardaas that you get blessed with that Prem. Sometimes love comes with practise, just keep going.
