I'v never used a clay bar but, is it hard to use and what does it do...? is it bad if you use too often?

Not hard to use at all but you do need to be careful to avoid scratching your paint. Basically it removed embedded micro particles from your paintand leaves your finish very smooth. As far as using it too often, it depends on what grade of claybar you are using.

if its clay then how can u scratch ur car with it

It's not the clay that scratches the paint, it's the particles on the surface of the car that will scratch the paint. If you rub those particles into the paint surface, whether with a towel, sponge, clay bar, or your hand, it will scratch your paint.

Exactly. As you clay your car the particles are embedded into the clay and if you do not continuously turn and fold the clay you will be rubbing the particles against your paint.
