Can you take your machine to somewhere outside your network like starbucks or a place with free wifi and see if you can get on?
It can't be your 'macbook' blocking you from a site, it's probably something to do with your home network.
can any pc's at your home get to these websites?
Might need to check your hosts file and make sure they aren't redirected locally or something.
Do you have any internet blocking/monitoring software installed?
Lots of questions before we can determine the issue is quiet vague.

I'm guessing you'll need to furnish more info here to get help.
Is it a firewall issue? Are the other people getting to these sites on the same network that you are? Or are they elsewhere, just telling you they can get there?
What are the error messages?
Are there parental controls set up on your machine that are preventing access to certain content?
Is this a new issue with an existing computer? or is it a new computer that is having this problem?

Is the computer new? What OS are you running? Have you tried doing a clean install of the OS?
Have you been able to eliminate that it is your home network that could be causing the problem? Is it a home network?

Or if you want, try and give me some details about what troubleshooting steps you have already taken just so I don't say something you have tried already. The more detail the better...
i use a college wifi with about 5000 memz using it. my friends laptops works fine with all sites problem is only with mine. i had tried using global dns servers , creating a new user account , creating new wifi neither of them worked. but when i move to other wifi all my websites work just fine. i only have problem when i use this wifi , but other lapttops of my friends work fine with those websotes with which i have problem.
It sounds like it could still be a problem with the colleges wifi... Is there any way you can contact them for support with the issue? They should be able to help with this. I think that might be your best bet.

all he basic websites are also not running :'(
Can you plug into a ethernet network jack and turn off wifi and see if you can get to those sites?
If you can get to these website when you are on an external wifi, the campus router has blocked these sites for you on a mac address basis if other people in your room can get to them but you cant. No idea why they'd do that but there it is.. It's not an issue with your Mac it's the router blocking your mac addresses or only allowing it to get to certain sites on the internet.
