JLabel isn't showing at the center of the screen

Question

I was coding the "questions class" so it will be easier for me to add questions to the grame/game, for whatever reason this how my JFrame looks like:

I tried searching for answers for this weird glitchy JLabel but I seem to not find an answer, please answer if you know what's wrong with my code!

Answer 1

Since the answer label is never added to a visible container ( either time it is created) I must presume you are referring to the question label.

add(question,BorderLayout.PAGE_START);

A component added to the PAGE_START constraint of a BorderLayout is given its preferred height, and stretched to fit the entire available width .

To center the text within the JLabel , use a constructor that specifies the horizontal alignment of the text it displays. Three of the six constructors accept an alignment. This case requires SwingConstants.CENTER .
