My name is Jen, I go to school, and occasionally learn things. I love James Dean, Hanson, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty, Fall Out Boy, Elton John and Billy Joel. These make me overly qualified to give advice ESPECIALLY since I spend the vast majority of my time watching and obsesing over Oprah.
I've been through some stuff, and watched even more drama on TV, so I can help with your problems, no matter what your story is Wishbone.

I'm a little bit confused about something.
I heard that tea is a diuretic (makes you need to pee a lot) but that it also dehydrates you.
Now, if you need to drink a lot so that your body excretes toxins from your body and tea helps you to wee a lot, does it help more to get toxins out of your body or does it not flush anything out because it goes through you so quickly?
Sorry if that doesn't make much sense but I'm trying to be a bit healthier so I'm wondering how good tea is for you.
Also, are there any health benefits to drinking tea? (link)

Well it makes sense that if tea is a diuretic, it will also dehydrate you, because if you pee more, you have to drink more than usual.
Green tea in particular has a lot of health benefits, it has been shown to prevent cancer, and alzheimers. You can look at the rest here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_tea#Health_benefits
Chamomile tea is also a great relaxer and can relieve cramps, and inflamation.
Try checking out a health store, or natural food place, they sell many different kinds of tea, and they're usually labelled with their different benefits. Some grocery stores carry them as well. Just remeber to keep drinking other fluids as well, you need milk and variety!
