Do i really need to have bowel movements everyday beacause i don't is that bad?

Not necessarily: It depends on what is normal for you. Normal patterns can be from 3 bowel movements daily to 1 every 3 days or so. If it changes for you, and makes you uncomfortable, it may be a problem, however. Getting lots of fiber and fluids helps keep things regular.
