Why won't it enter the While loop?

Question

sorry for the language. I just can't understand why it wont enter the first while loop and goes straight to the end. The while starts with a boolean but it just wont proceed. I could use some help :) Thanks in advance. Now its at its (half) full. It doesn't have anything to do with equaling strings. Thanks again.

package guessTheNumber;

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Opening of the scanner.
        Scanner guess = new Scanner (System.in);

        //Entry - what the player will see before he starts.
        System.out.println("Hello.");
        System.out.println("Wellcome to the Guess the number game");
        String enter = guess.nextLine();
        System.out.println("I choose a nember and you have to guess what it is.");
        enter = guess.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Ready?");
        System.out.println("I don't care... Type NEW to start");

        String startGame = guess.nextLine(); 
        while (startGame == "NEW" || startGame == "New" || startGame == "new"){

            //generates new number
            Random newNumber = new Random();
            int newRandom = newNumber.nextInt();
            //here the player can guess the number
            System.out.println("I chose a number between 1-bitch. what number am I thinking of? ");


        //if the player chooses to end the game
        System.out.println("See you later mother ******.");

    }

}

where is the loop in the code? – Mathews Mathai Mar 15 '16 at 18:29 — Mathews Mathai, Mar 15 '16 at 18:29
because there is no loop ? – Madhawa Priyashantha Mar 15 '16 at 18:30 — Madhawa Priyashantha, Mar 15 '16 at 18:30
Duh!! This does not have one :) – djames Mar 15 '16 at 18:33 — djames, Mar 15 '16 at 18:33
Try putting a while loop somewhere in your code :) – Orch Mar 15 '16 at 18:33 — Orch, Mar 15 '16 at 18:33
