Well I don't know if that's exactly what they're called but the pages that have a main-page associated to them. I basically want to hide them from showing up on the menu. Right now I have the ''Send me a tip!'' linked to about (about is the main page) but I want to be able to hide it because it's going to ruin the simplicity of the menu once I add the 2 other pages linked to the about page. Is there any way to do this ?

Menus usually use the template tag, wp_list_pages(), so use the exclude=X argument, where X is the id of the page you want to exclude.
You may find that code in your theme's header.php.

I read the stuff and tried it out, this is what I put and unfortunately it isn't working :/
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=-1', 'exclude=2832'); ?>
2832 is just an imaginary number I used and the title_li was already there (while I don't even know what that means, something about depth :P) but basically it's still there, any ideas why ?
What's the page id for the "send me a tip" page?

Well I realised I had linked this to a main parent page, don't know if that mattered or not but I took it off to see if it would work and it didn't. The ID for the send me a tip page is 1258. What's happening now is that it just wont load the page but thats not what I'm looking for, I just don't want them to appear in the menu but still be accessible, as in I'm going to link them elsewhere.

bump for some help :/
If your theme is using wp_list_pages to display the menu, and you don't want child pages, then this should work.
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

I should've thought about changing that variable, sorry about that. Thank you very much for the help though. I have one more question for you while you're here.
If you visit the 404 page of the website (www.triplecz.com/404), I have options for the visitor to go to but I wanted to be able to provide a description in white right under it but everytime I skipped a line in the 404.php file to make it appear under the link it just ended up appearing beside the link and not under. Here's that part of the 404.php
<p><b>Meanwhile, you could check out the other pages on the website. Here are your choices:</b></p>
<p><b>- The traditional | Home</b></p>
<p><b>- Cars that will definitely get you laid | Wallpapers</b></p>
<p><b>- Guaranteed to make you laugh | About</b></p>
How would I make it where I can write a little description type thing right under it instead of beside ?

nvm the problem above, I solved it but for some reason my send a tip page is not working anymore and all I have is the simple code you gave me;
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
I tried renaming it, redoing the page, nothing worked. any ideas ?

Detach send me a tip from about and try
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=2832'); ?>
