Is it harmful to drink tea out of a styrofoam cup that I warmed up in a microwave? Basically can I warm stuff the microwave with styrofoam?
Most plastics (including Styrofoam) don't absorb microwaves and are fine. Prolonged use, however, is never a good idea. ChaCha!

About Styrofoam
The word Styrofoam is usually used as a generic term for expanded polystyrene foam, like disposable coffee cups, disposable coolers, packing materials, etc. This type of polystyrene is largely not bio-degradable and can remain intact for thousands of years. The Styrofoam used for crafts is sort of soluble in organic solvents.
