Used normally, the years go down.
So that if someone was born in 50 BC they would have their tenth birthday in 40 BC, and would be 80 years old if they were still alive in 30 AD.
Remember, the people of the time didn't use BC.... they would have referred to years as "the 5th year of the reing of King...." , or "Ten years after the death of ......" referring to some noted personality.

Why did BC change to AD?
BC means before Christ and when Christ was born, they couldn't call it before Christ. that when they changed it to AD, which stands for Anno Domini, roughly translated into year of our lord. Fairly self explanatory. BC = Before Christ. AD = Anno (Year of) Domini (The Lord (Christ)). The change was the roman pinpoint of the birth of Christ. It is chronologically inaccurate but the world reference nonetheless.

Why are the years in BC reverse?
They're not reversed, exactly. The "B" in "BC" stands for "before." The longer something happens before an event, the higher the number. It's like a countdown to takeoff: T minus 5 hours, T minus 2 hours, T minus 30 minutes, etc. When you count down to a certain time, the higher numbers are the earlier ones.The BC dates count down to what we might call the year zero (but we don't, we call it the year 1). The event that everything is dated before or after in the calendar now used throughout the world is the birth of Christ. The BC dates count down to that event, measuring time before it, and the AD dates count up afterward.If you've seen one of those kitchen timers that you can set for, say, an hour, you see it count down from 60 to 0 as time runs out. Some of those timers sound their beep and then start counting up to tell you how long ago zero was. BC and AD work just like that (except that people weren't actually counting down to Christ's birth beforehand, of course--other calendars were in use then).
