Leave me an anonymous comment pouring your heart out. Say anything. Tell me your stories, your secrets, those things no one ever asks but you want to tell. Tell me about your love, your hate, your indifference, your joy. Tell me about what's inside of you when you're reading through these entries on your friends list, and tell me why you continue to come back here. Tell me anything. Tell me what you really think of me or yourself. Anything.

That's correct. When you're using a contraction, or putting two words into one, you use an apostrophe. "You are" becomes "you're," "are not" becomes "aren't," and so on.

Possessives also merit apostrophes. So a phrase like, "the shirt belongs to Jacob Black," would become, "this is Jacob Black's shirt." There are a few exceptions to his, however! 'It' is one; as in, you wouldn't say, "the cat flexed it's paws." You'd write, "the cat flexed its paws."

Plurals never get apostrophes. Twins, not twin's. Two Melissas, not two Melissa's. Six toasters, not six toaster's. Fourteen and a half CDs, not fourteen and a half CDs. This is a very common error lots of people make. Even if it is a word that wouldn't conventionally have a plural form, when you pluralize it by adding an s, you never use an apostrophe.

The only exception is when you combine possessive case and plural case. An example of this would be "the tigers' cage". You're referring to more than one tiger and indicating the cage is there. In that instance, the apostrophe goes after the s.

Hope that helps. Here's a handy guide (http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe) in case anything was unclear. ^_^
