it something like thiss... a difference of charges or an imbalance of charges (+ and -) on two ends causes lightning bolt coneecting those two ends...but after it happens the charges are balanced now...so lightning wont happen at the same exact place twice...

There are many myths surrounding lightning — such as lightning never strikes the same place twice or it always strikes the tallest object. Both are false, as lightning strikes the best conductor on the ground — whether it has been struck before or not.

That's just an old saying that has nothing to do with lightning. Lightning can strike the same object once, twice, three times, etc.

Of course it strikes in the same place. That's what lightning conducters are for.

when lightning strikes it actually strikes loads of times in the same place in a split second.

It can and does, metal pylons get struck all the time.
It is unlikly in nature that lightening will strike in the same place twice because lightening tends to destroy what ever it's hits the first time

well...... it is kind of impossible that lightning never strikes the same place twice if it did then it would never stike again

Actually it dose. Look at tall trees/lightning rods. They can get struck many times.
