Ok so I don't even know how to start this kind of programing but I want to have the height and width of the monitor so I can center things

Wrap it, then use the getSize method.
local monitor = peripheral.wrap('whatever side your monitor is on')
local width, height = monitor.getSize()
monitor.write(width..'x'..height)

You can use monitor.setCursorPos(x,y) in conjunction with monitor.write("msg").

If in case you're talking about the screen that shows up when you left click a computer, use term.getSize(), term.setCursorPos(), and so on.

What I mean is when you display something on a monitor if the message is too long then it goes off the screen

You must use term.redirect for this.:
local m = peripheral.wrap("side")
term.redirect(m)
print("Hello world!")
term.restore()
