guitar. When writing a song, do you think of the words first or the tune first? And I mean, how do you make the tune. I dont even know how to start without copying someone else.

This depends on you. I am in choir, and we had to write a song for our final exam. I started with the melody. Use C-M (C Major) To start off writing a simple song.
Also- A lot of songs start off as poems, write a poem and try to come up with a melody.
PS-copying off other people's work is illegal. Just a heads up!!! ;) ]
well it alldepends on what you have in mid already if you think of words first then the tune will naturally flow and if you think of tune fisrt the words will flow. songwriting should be easy if it comes from the heart ]
both at the same time is what I do! think of the words and find a tune that you can sing it to ]
Some people find that finding tune first and then put the words to the tune is easy.
But some people find it easy to write the lyrics first and then find a tune which sounds good to go with the lyrics.
It all really depends upon how you like to work. Try both and see what works better for you. Since you struggle with the tune, I would recommend the second option that way, it minimises the risk of you copying somebody.
As for the actual song, don't forget that the song has to make sense and there must be some sort of story in the song.
I hope this helped,
