does it count if someone has to hold down your feet? and how high do you have to go? does your back have have to be absolutely straight or should you bend it a little? and when do you breathe in and out?

The difference between a correct pushup and an incorrect one is enormous. A pushup done with correct form is much more difficult than one done without. The Army makes you do correct pushups. When performing one, keep your back straight, look straight ahead, come down until your arms bend at least 90 degrees, and push back up. the only authorized rest position is with your butt sticking up in the air, your body forming an upside down V with your hands and feet still supporting your weight.

The key is to keep your body straight (read: abs and back), come down low enough for effect, and keep supporting all of your body weight on your hands and feet.

Do them that way and then see how many you can do.

That will give you maximum benefit.
