I think this is a porblem but not sure. When iam pull-up the stick back to get the plane in the air all that happend is that the nose goes up and it stays on the ground. It does this even pass 200kt it sits there with the nose up. Is this a problem if so how do i fix it

Have you set your trim properly, and your flaps?
Cheers!

Check your weight, it might be over Max Gross weight.

The flaps go down to like the 5 postion and thats it besides that when i pull up it should take-off. When it goes off the runway and there is a drop it goes up then back down. It acts like its trying to fly but it can't even at 200kt which is odd.

Both of the above suggestions are good ones to look for the cause.
Check your weight and CG. Typically FS loads the aircraft to its full capacity, which is normally over the plane's max gross weight.
Your trim should be set up a few notches before you even push back (so you don't forget at TO time). Same with flaps: set them before you push back so you're not forgetting them at TO. Trust me on this, I've done it! (It's really embarassing when you do it online).
Finally, I suggest you don't pull back on the yoke/stick/whatever until you're above about 115kts. I'm not too familiar with the 732 first hand so I can only give you an idea of what a good speed for Vr is. When you pull back too soon, it actually causes the plane to slow down a little and inhibits your forward airspeed (which is an essential requirement for flight! ). Perhaps the 737 manual as a speed you can use for general purpose planning.
Good luck.

Hey Andrew.
Excellent suggestions, sounds to me like you are exceeding maximum takeoff weight. (MTOW) Along w/ what everyone has suggested, try rotation speed at around 135 kias, but try not to exceed 10 degrees rotation or you may strike the tail. When I first switched from CRJ to 737 it was a challenge as well, but if you load the aircraft correctly and make sure that your CG (center of gravity) is within the envelope as well as trim set correctly you should be able to take off w/ no problem. Good luck. Failing this, e-mail me if you wish, I will try to assist you.

Don't forget to check your TO trim as well.
