Please , help me make it clear.

Hello.

1) What would be better to say:
I'm not/no worse/better than somebody else.
It's not/no good to act like that.

2) When I do something unacceptable and am told: "What are you doing? Stop that!", could I say the following:
I can return/bring everything back like it was (before). (I do want to use "like it was" in my sentence).

3) When I'm scolded for something that I haven't actually done, could I say: When I got/came here it was already this way ?

Thanks in advance.

Past perfect is used to denote previous to a time in past. And the sentence you have given needs it.
