Whenever I tune my guitar, whenever I finish tuning, all the strings except the last 2 I tuned go out of tune. How do I solve this???

It's an electric guitar.
My friend has the same exact guitar.
It's a Squier that I got from Guitar Center.

OK, I'll post another question.
And I just got this guitar 3 hours ago.
How do I stretch the strings?

You just need to play it and keep tuning it... because it is new, the strings aren't stretched out enough... the only thing that you can do it just keep tuning it and playing it and tuning it... I have a classic acoustic guitar that I just put new strings on and that is what I did... if there is a problem with the tuning pegs (like they aren't holding the string) take it to the Guitar Center in Pasadena [if you live in California]... but other than that... just keep playing and tuning it...

New string will have a lot of trouble keeping their tension for a while. Whenever I put on a new set of strings, I stretch the hell out of them for a bit, then retune the instrument. This minimizes the later relaxation and I don't have to retune as often.
Don't forget, taking the guitar from one tempurature or humidity to another will also cause some tightening and loosening.
The only reason the guitar, itself could be at fault is if some component was actually loose, and moving. That would require some kind of repair. Guitar Center should have a technician available who can tell you what's going on.

It either wasn't strung right or it's just a cheap instrument.
Go to a music store and let them string it for you so you know it's done right. If it still has the problem you just have a "lemon".
