i guess i took my friends' advice and started driving to redline in first (the little light showed up indicating i was in the 8,000 rpm, which i did on accident a few times). is this bad for my engine??

Some friends you have! You're either very foolish or must have $40,000 to burn. 8,000 rpm in fisr gear is car abuse. You're endangering both your warranty coverage and your car.
Use your head and follow the manual.
