thank you Liz, I tried to publish my photos but they didn't show up. I think I need a fungicide so I will research more- thank you!
My peaches have what looks like bruises roundish in shape, like a bruise, the fruit under the skin is brown in that area too, just like a bruise. There is no evidence of rot fussiness, distortion, just these brown spots, that look like bruises.
This sounds like Peach Scab.

I want to try to grow a peach tree from a peach pit. How do i do that? I am having trouble understanding how to do it from the explanation online. Second do i need more than one pit?
Make sure the Peach variety that you are trying to start is hardy to your zone 5 growing conditions.
If you are just using a Peach from a store bought Peach, it may not be a variety that you can grow in your garden.

My peach tree has branches that are very brittle and are white. They brake off very easily. We just purchased the house in the Winter and realized the tree was a peach tree when it started to grow the peaches this June. How can I help it become healthy again? The peaches seemed to grow pretty well. Only about 2% have grown big enough to fill a palm (I'm a young woman) the rest are about the size of a lime or lemon. We also have about 50% which have fallen from the tree. They are a deep red right now.
This could be a disease or could potentially be damage from herbicides or another toxin.
