Help with guitar..

well i started playing guitar once again.. i wish to keep at it.. but i need help lowering my strings.. can anyone help me with that? on all my friends guitars iv seen.. their strings are close to the fret board.. mine arent as close and its like harder to play with the strings so far from the fret board on my guitar.. i have a B.C. Rich Warlock.. yeah i kno its bad .. but its nice for a beginner i guess.. i once heard someone say that if they are too close to the fret board that it will make a werid noise when you have your amp plugged in also.. so i dunno.. i dont know how to lower the strings to the fret board

either your neck is bowing a lot or your bridge is simply too high. Both not to hard to fix

i'm assuming your guitar has a tunomatic bridge, if so, just get a screw driver and tighten both sides of the bridge in evenly to make it go down.

then tighten the neck a little bit at a time. do 1/4 turns on it every few hours, check in on its progress.

i'm guessing its probably a combination of both problems, but i cant say.

google it for very detailed tutorials on the truss rod/ neck adjusting.
