The vector pen tool is pixelated and the letters i type on my document are pixelated too when they are supposed to be vector based.

For vector images, use a vector image editor -- Illustrator or Inkscape -- and export as SVG.

Scalable Vector Graphics are math-based, not pixel-based. Vectors can be scaled up or down to any size without loss in quality. Raster images like JPG, GIF and PNG can't do that.

Firework is a combined vector and bitmap editor, it combines core tools for both in a user friendly way .... Despite Adobe abandoning it this is why there are still a lot of people who actively use it ... You can also export to vector formats and with the help of some of the add-ons available you can import and export in SVG format too.. If you don't use Fireworks or understand what it can do I suggest you stop posting in the Fireworks forums.

So you should only post here if you understand everything about Fireworks?

Fireworks always renders vectors to a bitmap. Your document resolution might be very low, and cause the pixels to be more visibly apparent. Or you picked an aliased stroke (for example: Hard Line).

To answer your question we would need more information. Can you provide us with a screenshot? Or a file?

I'm assuming you mean after export? Can you confirm what format you are exporting to?
