Ok im 19 and im not gonna lie, I often throw clothes under my wooden bed, and the other day I seen a small bug on one of my white t-shirts that was sitting under my bed for at least 4 months, and the bug was very small, almost microscopic, and itwas brown with little legs, it looked like a baby rollie pollie but it was apparently feeding on something under my bed, was he attracted to the wood, or the shirt?

If it was making a weird sound like crickyyy, then it was a Termite.
Get some anti-termites and spray them on the wood or you wont have any wood soon.

Sounds like a bedbug. They like dirty places, and are attracted to the sweat and dirt of your shirt and/or any small food bits laying around. They can multiply and if they do, they'll infest your bed and bite the heck out of you.
Another possibility is that it's a tick. Do you have animals? Especially dogs? They can spread a dangerous disease called Lyme disease.
They do not sound like termites as termites are rarely found outside of the wood and don't fit the description you gave.
And with all due respect, do you have 'crabs' in your genital area and armpits/groin area? These come from not cleaning up after having sexual relations usually and need to be treated with a product you can getfrom the pharmacy. Everything will need to be thoroughly treated as well such as sheets, pillows, etc...etc...
I am NOT trying to be rude or funny ok?
You need to clean up everything under the bed. Throw out anything that's been in contact with other things under the bed so as to get rid of the 'nits' or 'eggs'. They cannot be washed out.
Then use a strong bleach solution to mop everything in the room and afterwards spray everything, including the mattress and box spring, with the strongest Lysol on the shelf.
Best wishes with this and thanks for reading.

Most probably your shirt. You might not have washed it. The darkness under your bed and humidity is the ideal situation for microorganisms and those that feed on them.
I suggest you wash all the clothes under your bed before you wear them again.
Termites are white ants which feed on wood and look mostly like ants. If it were termites, check for holes in your bed.
Good luck.
