Kati,
Before you worry about the way you're framing your shots, do check and see if your local lab can develop your shots on 4:3 size paper. It'll save you a lot of hassle. But, if you can't get them to do it...
Think about it in these terms:
4:3 is 4 divided by 3, or 1 1/3.
3:2 is 3 divided by 2, or 1 1/2.
Therefore, a 4:3 photograph is 1 and 1/3 times as wide as it is tall and a 3:2 photograph is 1 and 1/2 times as wide as it is tall. Basically, a 3:2 shot is a little more "widescreen" than a 4:3.
If a 4:3 shot were fit height-wise to 3:2 paper, there would be blank bars on either side. But if you fit a 4:3 shot width-wise on a sheet of 3:2 paper, it covers the entire sheet, side to side and top to bottom. This is what has been happening when you get your 4:3 shots developed at the lab. Unfortunately, fitting a 4:3 shot width-wise on 3:2 paper means that part of the height of the image is cut off. This is where you get your missing heads and whatnot. To counteract this when you're shooting, all you have to do is give the subject in your frame a little more headroom. Voila!
