I think we should help America. We all know that America is going to be the number one most strongest country in the world. So if we help them, we could gain our trust with them. And they could help us if we have war with some countries. And Britains is our long time enemies. So maybe they might get afraid of us if we are allies with America. This is why I belive that we should help them Americans.

My mom says that somehow being the first born; all of my features from physical to personality make me my dad’s younger and female counterpart.

OR

My mom says that somehow being the first born, all of my features from physical to personality make me my dad’s younger and female counterpart.

I'm confused because Word says it needs to be a semicolon but I think a comma might work too, so what do you think?

I already asked this question before but I got disappointing answers.
So let me clear it out -- why I am asking this question.

Taken from the definition of an adverb from the dictionary: The word that qualifies verbs or clauses.
source:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/adverb

Whereas, someone specified -- therefore -- as a conjunction when I asked a question concerning conjuntions. The word on the street is that therefore is a conjuntion; so can you justify that?
