Should i pop my pimples once they have a white head? a lot of my friends have said it is the best way to get rid of them, but i have my doubts..

Yes: When you squeeze out the white sebum and sometimes some blood, they heal faster and better. This does NOT cause scars. Forget about home remedies for this. If you have significant acne see a dermatologist.
