I'm really hoping to get a DSLR camera for Christmas this year, but for my parents, brother, and/or friend to get it i have to find one around the price of 200 dollars. I have fallen in love with the Nikon D3100 and the Nikon D3000 and love the features and the picture you can get out of them, but i may be willing to compromise. If I had a wish list for what I would want in a camera it would be…
* Manual Focus
* Continuous Shooting
* Micro Focus (shooting very up close with high quality)
* Different Shutter Speeds
* White Balance
* Different Shooting options (landscape, portrait, ETC.)
If you guys could help me on my quest for a nice camera to help be blossom into the photographer i want to become, be give any/ all ideas!

Um, can you even get those, or even any DLSR for under $200? You may be better off looking at a bridge camera, here are a couple:

These don't have all the features that you are after, but manual white balance, focus are not very necessary (i own a nikon D90 and have used manual focus about 5% of the time, and white balance about 0.5% of the time) and i do advance stuff. So maybe you do not need these features.

Personally i would look at these, because you are not going to get a DSLR for under $200.

With one of these bridge cameras, you will get continuous shooting, MACRO (close up), shutter priority, aperture priority (the most useful setting) most probably white balance manual, and you can shoot landscape or portrait by turning a dial on the top!

Hope that helps!
