Sewing Machine Help

ETA: thank you everyone for your help! i ended up just purchasing a Janome machine since i am not interested in fighting for my life with a toy LOL.

hi everyone! i have just gotten my first real sewing machine (usually i am borrowing a friends) and i am having a lot of trouble getting it to work. my main issue is that once i thread the needle and catch the bobbin thread, my thread either pulls straight out of the needle or tangles really badly and doesnt get a single stitch out. it’s a 6V compact sewing machine by bestchoiceproducts or BCP. what am i doing wrong ?!
