Is it bad not to shutdown my laptop?

No, there's no real harm in it. That's what it's made for.
Hibernate takes what's in your computer's RAM, writes it to the hard drive, and does a does a normal shut down. The next time you turn on the PC, it reads the saved data off the drive again, and you pick up where you left off. It's like a saved game file. Once the data is saved, you can even remove the battery from the laptop and you won't lose any data.
Sleep mode keeps the PC powered on, but shuts off things like fans and disk drives and screens to save power, and gives minimal power to the CPU and RAM to keep your data saved temporarily. It obviously uses more power than Hibernate, but doesn't waste time loading your saved data from disk.
In either case, there is little risk of damage to your laptop.
However, you might want to restart your laptop occasionally after installing things like system updates.
In certain cases, some badly-written programs may slow down the computer with memory leaks or temp files or other crap over time, in which case a restart will also help to speed things up.

Are there any basic things I should do to make my computer run faster?Cut off extra process you aren't using, clean your pc junk files etc (CCleaner can help with that), cut off things you aren't using (most you find via Control panel-advance settings-System & Security-System-Performance. All the check box items are safe to mess with.) And if you are using Windows Vista/7 disable the Aero pane (it eats Ram). A ton of other things you can do as well. Maybe I should make a tutorial for it later on...

a) Get Ubuntu/KUbuntu. If you've never used Linux before you'll swear a lot as you'll actually have to *learn* stuff. You'll at least have an OS (for "free").
b) Do what you want cause a pirate is free! You are a pirate! - if your desktop has a sticker with your windows license (and SERIAL!!!) on it, you should be install the OS with that serial just fine.
c) Boot from a live CD/DVD. Use a 3rd paty software to undelete stuff. (You'll need a spare/external hard drive or another partition on your original HD to do this safely).

Or she's just tired of all of the idiots out there. I see it that way too. If you can't learn a little bit about what your doing or working on, and don't do basic steps to prevent infections; why should I feel pity or come to the rescue (over and over again) to these people that don't even try.
I bet you every single problem people bring here has either already been discussed on this board or a quick google search would yield a sufficient solution. And if I'm not mistaken, Tegumi has already laid out the best way to fix most problems in a sticky.

That was very informative! Thank you. :o

It was a joke, to be honest. That aside, it is mired in accuracy - the less software your OS has to manage, the better it will run.
