\n not working in GUI (working code, but \n isn't working)

here is the code:

Java Code:

import javax.swing.*;
public class Creepster extends JFrame{
    private String s;
    private JLabel label;

    public Creepster() {
    s = "Hello Mr. Creepster\nThis is my first Java program.\n";
    s += "I wanted to show you that I am learning Java and to thank you for teaching me.";
    label = new JLabel(s);
    add(label);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    pack();
    setVisible(true);
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new Creepster();
    }
}

If you compile and run this, it works. The one thing that isn't working is the \n. If you could fix this problem I would be grateful.
Thanks,

Java Code:

    s = "<html>Hello Mr. Creepster<br>This is my first Java program.<br>";
    s += "I wanted to show you that I am learning Java and to thank you for teaching me.</html>";
