Clicking...Somtimes Clunking, DRIVING ME INSANE!!!
when i pedal this clicking sound is being made. And in some cases, clunking. Now, i cant seem to figure it out, because when i put the bike on a stand, to get upclose, and i turn the crank nothing happens. Because it only clicks when i put pressure on the pedals. Not alot of pressure, just a bit. Now it doesent click if i pedal backwards, or bike really slow on a low gear. But it's driving me insane!!!
PLEASE HELP! IM DESPERATE!

What bike do you have? it could be lots of things. Do you feel this in your pedals? It could be loose crank arms, it could be a spent freewheel of freehub body, it could be worn derailleur pulleys etc, you need to check your drivertrain for loose whatever or worn whatever.

Sounds like your pedals or your bottom bracket.
Try pedaling with one foot at a time to see if it's in the pedals.
To check the bb, grab each crank arm and torque them sideways. If they wiggle significantly, your BB is shot!
On less expensive bikes, they usually put the cheapest crapiest BB they can buy. They are usually the first things that go!

ITS FIXED! Ok, here's what happend...
I brought it to my LBS and he said it was the pedals, or the bottem bracket. Needing new pedals anyway, i bought some, and installed them at the shop. It still clicked.
So i asked them how much it would be to get a new bottem bracket, and they said 60$ and it's gunna take about a week. (im gettin off topic but trust me...it's going somewhere) So i went to this other LBS called Spoke O' Motion. I asked them how much it would cost, and i just about flipped when he said this... "Bottem bracket is gunna cost you 30$, we'll install it free, and give you a free full tune up. We'll install right now, it'l only take 15 mins" 
WOW! They trued both my rims, adjusted my brakes, installed the bracket, changed my brake pads, straighted my crooked rotor on my rear wheel, adjusted my gears, and it only took 15-20 mins! AND it was free! I just had to pay for the bottem bracket (30$) Hehehe, i just thought i would share that experince with you guys.
