I am new to Arduino development, I tried learning the push button, and when I ran my simulation, my output LED was already coming on, even without me pushing the button. I tried cross checking my connection and everything, it was the same with the tutorial videos, but I was getting the same outcome.
What's the problem?
Welcome to the forum
Please post your sketch and a schematic of your project. A photo of a hand drawn circuit i good enough
Using this official Arduino schematic with a sketch waiting for a pushbutton to pass a LOW to the sensing pin would cause an LED to be ON always because the drawing uses a pulldown resistor, causing the sensing pin to sense LOW until the button is pressed.
Use this schematic and adjust the sketch to wait for HIGH or adjust the hardware to use a pullup resistor to Vcc to hold the sensing pin high, and wait for the pin to sense a LOW .
There's a white wire connecting the LED to pin 13
Why did you use camera? Why not take screen grab?

Don't use white wires on a white breadboard on a white background! Pick a contrasting colour.
I didn't think of that.
I just did the first thing that came to my mind
