We are happy to help you - if you try to help yourself. We have told you to use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and for the first person pronoun 'I'; we have also told you to put a full stop at the end of a sentence.

If you take no notice of what we say, we will soon stop bothering to try to help you.

Does these sentences make sense?

I had to draw the line with my son; he was getting to rude. - Punctuation and need a space, tense.
When I found Andy was over staying his welcome, I told him to take a hike. - Tense and no space before the comma
I have to look sharp for my daughter's graduation. - Okay
I woke up feeling under the weather, so I won't be coming to work. - Okay
You better get your act together, before I leave. - No comma, or ", or I will leave." Some people say "you had better" instead of "you better."
It is not good to use people; remember what goes around comes around. - Punctuation

Leave a space after a punctuation mark, not before.
Don't join two sentences with a comma.
Your first might be better with "take a hard line" instead of "draw the line."
