I am sorry, but without seeing what is going on I can not be sure how to help you. I do know that more than one of my reels has a lever/switch on it to make it "free-wheel" and that could be the problem. Or it could be that the drag is so loose that it is just not stopping the line coming off.
I still have the same answer for you...go to one of the sporting goods stores in your area, maybe where you bought it, unless you got it at Wal-Mart or K-Mart.
There is no shame in being a rookie! Just tell them you have no idea what you are doing and ask them to show you how your reel works and how to adjust the drag and make sure you understand what all the adjustments are. Most of those guys are real willing to help out.
It may help others on the site to be able to help you if you list the make and model/model number of the reel.
And by the way...Wecome to the site!
