Why does every page I got onto say "Page has insecure content"?
It says this error message on almost every page, like Google and Facebook. I'm sure these sites are safe, how do I get rid of this message?

This message normally appears if you are accessing an encrypted webpage using HTTPS. The word "secure" is referring to content which was delivered securely using HTTPS. The word "insecure" refers to content which was delivered over plain, unencrypted HTTP, without the additional security of HTTPS.
It is common for a web page to contain both types of content. The main content might be delivered over HTTPS, but then some peripeheral content like advertisements might come over HTTP.
The reason HTTP is considered "insecure" is because any of the computers that carry the data from the website to your computer, or back the other way, can intercept and read the content. There is also no guarantee that you are connecting to the real website, even if the address is correct. You might trust the site, but without HTTPS there is no way to prove for sure whether you are on the real site. (True, it's very unlikely that you are not.)
The message only appears when the page contains a mixture of HTTP and HTTPS. If you are accessing only HTTP content, then you are considered to have no expectation of additional security. However, if you are accessing HTTPS content, it is considered that you might be expecting good security, and should be warned about any non-HTTPS content that is present on the page.
The message normally comes with a little tick box saying "do not show this message again". It is specific to your web browser. Often, you can also choose not to display the non-HTTPS content, which will usually just disable some adverts or something like that.
It is possible that your browser might have an add-on or setting which is telling it to try to use HTTPS whereever possible. Generally, websites that are expecting visitors over HTTPS connections will avoid causing this error message, but those which merely offer HTTPS as an additional option might not put so much effort into it.
Another possibility is that there is some add-on, plugin, or similar installed on your browser or computer which is inserting its own, non-HTTPS, content into web pages, and which is causing the message to appear if the rest of the page is HTTPS. It might even, ironically, be your internet security software.
