I have tried and tried to sharpen scissors and just can't seem to get them sharp with the sharpmaker. Is there any pointers anybody could give me on how they get there's sharp?

Sharpmaker should do the trick - just make sure you're not shapening the flat side of the blade of course.
I'd use some method to knock off the burrs that form, like dragging the edge over a soft piece of wood since you can't sand them off without touching the flat side...
Try looking at them to see if the blades are even touching each other when you cut. Sometimes they can get out of wack and need some tweaking done on them.
All I can think of is either you are taking too much material off when you knock off the burr with that method or your scissors are a bit out of wack like Slash suggested...
I feel stupid about asking this question, I looked at the scissors and they where WAY out of shape, so I sharpened another pair and BOOM... would cut something before they even touched it. Thank y'all for the help!
