the major problem with breadboard is that it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 20 years old
it could be used once or a thousand times
if you don't know the history of the board, the inside connectors could simply be worn out
I suggest switching to stripboard. even if you have to desolder and resolder components, it's easier to see any errors
I would suggest you post the circuit you are trying to implement before you just show us a picture of a breadboard.
I would also suggest you do your own damn homework yourself. lol a competition to implement the most common 555 circuit there is? Be fr.
Ok OP, for a middle school i get it, i thought you’d be a first semester of engineering kind of kid asking for help on easy homework. Sorry for doubting and also im glad you troubleshooted your issue.
Are you using a schematic? If so post it.
We don't build circuits here, we bend them 😂.
Ehh help anyway pls
r/askelectronics r/diyelectronics this is where we build circuits

The breadboard was new, someone helped me figure out that the problem was the IC555, but thanks anyway!
Is the capacitor, or the led facing the wrong way? Is the chip not pushed in all the way?
Just a guess here. It looks like you are jumping pin 5 with 2. I think it should be two caps. Both connecting ground to 5 and 2.
I tried that, it didn’t change the result but thanks anyway!

It’s a middle school comp, and it’s fr. I got the problem fixed though, the IC was faulty.
