Why when you make a turn quickly the tires squel?
is it because of low air pressure
or just because the tires aren't gripping
or a reason i didn't list?

if your tires are squealing, switch to tires with a lower aspect ratio and better performance rating. have your alignment checked. get stiffer shocks and springs. inflate your tires to at least 35psi. if it's too stiff or bumpy, too bad. you want tires that grip and a suspension that can hold them to the road, don't you? sure you do. everyone does.

I ask the weirdest questions only becasue these things are never answered... I always wondered why the squel I know they squel when im taking a turn 40 mph or something but why do they squel when your going around a parking lot??

OK, pay attention here...
It sort of has something to do with Ackerman angle...Ackerman was just some guy who knew all the angles. If you will look at your steering arms on you car you will notice that they aren't at a 90 degree angle to the wheel but are pointed inward instead, When yo turn your car, the arc that your car describes has a certain radius. That radius will vary depending on what point on you car you are talking about the radius traveled by the outside wheel is larger than that traveled by the inside wheel. While you car is traveling around the curve at the same speed, your outside tires are traveling a longer distance than your inside tires are...therefore they go faster than the inside tires. Fortunately for your tires, the fronts are completely independent of each other so they are free to turn at different speeds. The Ackerman angle on the steering causes the inside wheel to turn sharper than the outside wheel so that it has a better angle of attack so as to help out.
Now. the rear tires are hooked together by the rear axle (on real cars that is) but the differential slips and lets them turn at different speeds (that's where the name differential comes from...differential speeds)
Sooooo, with all this compensating for different radii and different speeds, why do your tires squeal? It's because the outside of the tire tread has to travel further than the inside of your tire tread to go around the curve....same as the outside and inside of your car. The problem here is that the outside of the tire can't travel faster than the inside because Rubic didn't make tires, he only made a cube (and possibly a pyramid). So and therefore, your tire has only one choice in this situation...it scuffs. When it scuffs, it causes high frequency vibration of the rubber molecules as they alternately grip and release the pavement. This, in turn causes the adjacent air molecules to vibrate and bump into their neighbors, who in turn bump into their neighbors and so on until one or more of the vibrating air molecules find their way down your ear canal and collide with your ear drum. This causes you damn ear drum to start vibrating. Which in turn causes your stirrup bone to start vibrating...which in turn makes the fluid and little hairs in the cochlea start vibrating...which through a process called transduction changes this vibration into electrical pulses...which are transported to you brain by the auditory nerve...which normally would decode the pulses and you would magically "hear" the tire squeal. Ta Da!!!! q.e.d.
However, if the brain is dead, all of this is for naught.
I refuse to proofread this tripe.
