I`m tryna` get a 6-pac and build some biceps. This is what I do.
Wake Up/ Sleep
3 sets of 10 push ups
2 sets of 10 sit ups
1 set of 10 crunches
After School;
1 set of 10 push ups
1 set of 10 sit ups
1 set of 10 crunches
Am I doing okay? I`m 5'9", weigh 128 pounds.
and my daily diet is
breakfast: most of the time I don`t eat, maybe at school 1 bagel w/ creamcheese.

Thats not enough, I do ~150-200 situps-variation every morning. in 25/set. Also get a situp bench.
Have it in your room. Its pretty nice being able to do sit ups and watch tv at the same time.

Eat better too. Eat a healthy breakfast and a real dinner, stop drinking soda.

That's fine for a start, but you should be increasing in increments every couple of days.

First off, in order to build muscle like biceps you need to do small sets of just a few reps of the heaviest weight you can manage, and you need to have a few days rest in between workouts. If you're not sore the next few days, you aren't working out hard enough. Regular curls with a dumbell are probably your best bet for building biceps. Hammer curls are good for building your triceps which make up for 2/3 of the muscle mass in your arm.
Working on your abs every day is fine and I would recommend it.
Diet is very important, you want to be taking in more calories and a lot more protien about 1-1.5mg for every lb you weigh, so you're aiming for about 125-200mg of protein each day.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you want to make sure you eat a good breakfast every morning. Good sources of protein would be peanuts, eggs, milk, tuna(also gives you your omega-3's.)
Make sure to drink lots of water.
You might also want to look into taking creatine, it helps a ton but there are risks (though for 99% of people it's fine, but look into it.)
That's about all I can think of.
