Is it the same note string breaking each time, or different strings? Are you sure you're stringing the violin properly? (Some novices get the strings in the wrong order.) Are you using new strings, of the best quality you can afford? (cheap strings = bad) If different strings keep breaking, they may be old and overdue to be replaced. If the same string keeps breaking in the same spot, there may be a sharp edge where the string meets the body, cutting into the string. This can be filed or sanded down; if you're not sure what you're doing, take it to a violin store. If the same string keeps breaking in different spots, this could be your playing or tuning technique. Ask a teacher or more experienced violinist to observe you playing.

It all depends on how much you play the violin or in effect use the strings. That and if you tune them to too high of a pitch they will break.

It breaks because you might have tightened the string a little too much.

If you are using light strings on your parlor acoustic guitar can you replace your G string with a B string?

Yes it is. It is not recommended to do this all the time though, as each gauge string exerts different stress and tension on the guitar neck. It's best to do this only until you can get yourself new strings.

Why does a guitar go out of tune when tuning it?

As you increase the tension on a new (or unstretched) string, the string will lengthen. The best way to minimise this effect is to pre-stretch the string with some pliers before attaching both ends to your guitar. Also as you alter the tension of each string this affects all the other strings around it because it changes the amount of force acting on the neck of the guitar. If you have a tremolo on your guitar that will also bend with increased tension. Tuning a musical instrument is a painstaking process as they are so finely balanced to acheive perfect intonation.
