I got my string of Pearls plant when it was pretty small. I've had some of the vines shrivel up and die on me. When I tried to look online, it didn't look like the shriveling of under watering, so I dont know what's wrong!! I've tried fertilizing and under watering and overwatering!! I had just watered it when I took the pictures which is why it looks wet!! Please help!
That is, actually, a close relative called String of Bananas. They will be a little less tolerant of bright light during temperatures above 100 F, but otherwise need bright, direct light for most of the day.
Slow growth will indicate a few things:
This can happen due to low temperatures. They are only hardy in USDA zones 10-11, which means they will not grow well in ambient, indoor temperatures without some help.
I would recommend feeding with a balanced, dilute fertilizer. Apply horticultural lighting (Not LED since they do not produce enough heat.) for most of the day to get the temperatures up.
and make sure that the soil does not remain wet. They like evenly, slightly moist soils with a thorough dry out between waterings. Just don't let them remain bone dry for more than a couple of days.

It's not plump and it doesn't have the bright green color. It's getting north east light and watered regularly
It looks a lot like overwatering. This is a succulent, and will be happier with drier conditions. Make sure this is a well draining soil, and not a thick soil. A northern facing window may not give enough light to keep it happy, though. If you can, I would find a place that gets more sunlight.
It has gone pale green and it's looking scraggly and the soil looks shrunked up.
It may need water. These plants are tricky in finding just the right amount of water, but they do take more than other succulents that prefer minimal water. Improper lighting can cause pale, scraggly stems. String of bananas needs bright light indoors. These articles should help with its care:

I'm not sure but I think grasshoppers have been eating it, is there anything I can do to prevent that? And does it look like it's been enough water?
It very well could be grasshoppers! They can be difficult to control, and insecticides are just barely effective if you use them constantly. In this case, I would go with microbial warfare. Nomesa Locustae is a neat little single celled organism that will infect grasshopper and kill them off quite effectively. It is harmless to you, but will protect plants very well. You might try your local garden centers, but you may end up having to find sources online.

Is my banana string getting too much water and not enough sunlight?
Along with grasshoppers, it could be lack of sunlight. I don't see any dropped leaves, though. Unless they were cleaned up already, it is likely that something ate them. If you have it in full shade then give it more light, for sure. It doesn't need full sun, though. That will make them drop as well. If there is any information you can add in another post, then I'd be glad to keep trying to figure out, exactly, whats wrong. Unfortunately, it could be any of those. Just make sure you have good drainage, and let it dry out pretty well at the surface between waterings. Not completely dry, but definitely dry at the surface. Give it some morning sun, and mostly shade afternoon. You can trim and start new ones, as well as rejuvenate the mother plant.
