Ok, I'm kind of despirate here. I have a Mac running OS X 10.8, with Java 7 installed. I downloaded minecraft to this computer (as I have been using another computer for my gaming until now) and tried to run it, but I got this message: To open "Minecraft" you need a Java SE 6 Runtime. Would you like to install one now?
My administrater (I.E. My stepdad) Refuses to install Java 6 due to security issues. Everything I find through google just shows how to do it with an already-present install.

Ok. Yeah. I'm trying to say that even with the Java 7, which I do have, it does not run. At all.
It tells me to install Java 6, which I can't do due to security errors.
Oh. I think I found the solution -- God I'm such a moron. I have the JRE installed, but not the JDK. The JRE install does everything except the most important step - Changing the symlinks for Java and Java -version. The JDK is supposed to fix that.
Sorry for double post. I want to keep this open just a little longer, in case it doesn't work.
