Check your indentation levels. I see a few things here that look odd:

What is the else meant to bind to? The innermost if? The 'if function
== "help"'? It's currently binding to the while.

Recommendation: Break this up! Your main loop is huge! It's way too
easy to get lost in it. And while you're at it, consider unifying some
of the similar blocks of code. The solution to both issues is simple:
Use functions. Have you been taught about them yet?

Also, side tip: Be honest about homework. I'm fairly sure that's what
this is. :)
