Because the same poles are creating the same energy and if its the same energy it resist each other.

Each end of a magnet is opposite. These are called poles. When poles are put together if they are opposite they attract. When the poles are the same ie have the same magnetic flux then they repel.

How can magnets push?

Remember that push or pull is force. Magnetic can be a push or pull because magnets has a kind of attraction force that attracts objects to itself and can also repel objects from itself. If we take two magnets into action we can demonstrate bothphenomenons. Magnets have a north and south pole, if we make face a south and a north pole of the magnets they will eventually attract each other and will stick together and if we make face the north pole of one magnet to the other north pole of the magnet they repeal (push) each other apart. Remember that this phenomenons of magnetic attractions are not applied to every single thing but limited to its opponent or limited to the objects that it can apply the push or pull strategy.
