I was just out this morning and my left pedal startd to creak every time i stepped down on it. This has happened on my bike before and its always on the left side. I bought a new set of pedals for it 2 weeks ago but now it is starting to act up again. Since they are new pedals I think it might be my crank. It might need tightened or something. If anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem tell me.

A creaking noise is almost never related to a bearing problem. Creaks occur when mating metal surfaces move when they shouldn't.
Try tightening your chainring bolts - this is a common source of a problem such as this.
It is also possible that your pedals are not mating well with your cranks. Try removing the pedals and putting grease on the threads (although I'd be more inclined to think it's the chainring bolts, as this is pretty rare).
