I am new to all of this. I am doing a project that require 13 LED's, most of them are blue and hooked up to a 9v battery via parallel with each parallel a series of 2 LEDs. I have most of them hooked up but when I connect one single white LED all of the other blue LEDs turn off and only the single white LED is on. Now I don't think I am doing anything wrong, I am connecting it to the rig like the other LEDs.

I think it is because all your LEDs are in parallel.

Wire so that each LED has it's own series resistor from the 9V supply.
