Ok, so i did my front brakes and they were fine for a week or so, but now they SCREEEEMMMMM!!!!!!!! down the road when i brake, and even sometimes i can hear the brake grind against the rotor when i am driving. Never had that problem so i have no idea what that is.
But i need the SCRRREEEMMMMIIINNNGGG to stop. It is so annoying.  And why would the brake grind against the rotor when i am moving? That is, it makes a grind pause grind pause grind pause, you get the point.

Sounds like you may need your rotors turned.  Did you do that with the brake job?  Also, I put in semi-metallic brake pads when the old ones died, and they squealed for a good 100 miles or something like that, until they finally broke in.  May be normal.
