Problem with extruding a face, please help!

Hi, I'm trying to model a box with thick sides and figured that the only way to do this is by extruding the faces (please correct me if I'm wrong). However, when I extrude the face it doesn't make it thicker but rather moves it as you can see in the picture:

How can I fix this? Or is there a different way to thicken faces?

The extrude tool has a thickness function. Just type a value into the thickness and you should get some thickness on your box. You may have to reverse the normals after, but it should work pretty well.
