What do all of the things mean on a Nikon D3300 when you turn it on?
( I'm talking about the blue background screen with all of the numbers)
-What do all of the things displayed on the screen mean?
- What does it mean when the numbers get higher and lower?
-What are those circles with numbers in it for?
The numbers are generally telling you the speed of the shutter, the size of the lens apature, the ISO setting, and a reading from the camera's light meter. The D3300 has a help guide from the help button, but your best bet is to probably buy an introductory photography book to understand how camera's parts work and then read the d3300 manual to know where those numbers are displayed. Reading the manual now probably won't help you that much since you don't know what the terms mean.
You need to read the first section of the manual that explains all the numbers and icons. If you lost your manual, you can download it from Nikon's web site.
If you are unfamiliar with the technical terms, go to http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/...olour.com/ and look at the Photo Essentials section. The first two items are important to understand if you want to understand your camera, especially Camera Exposure.
That owners manual that came with the camera is not there just for packing purposes. READ IT.
Read the funny manual.
How's about actually reading the owner's manual that came with your camera?
Read the manual and find out.
If you did not get a handbook supplied with the camera you can view the handbook online. For general advice about how to use a DSLR and what all the bits will actually do for you I suggest you get a book on "DSLRs" (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or try to find a friend with a DSLR who can help you.
Since we do not know where your difficulties lie, and since you seem never to have handled a DSLR before, it is rather hard to know where to start in telling you how to use a DSLR.
Eh, there's a big diagram in the users manual which shows you what everything is.
I suggest you read it.

Manual! Manual! Read the cotton picking manual. And if it is not in your language contact the manufacturer. (address back of manual.) And if you do not understand the manual, spend a little money on a book based on your camera model. Every camera of this quality has somebody writing a book based on this model. Enroll in a night school course. With all you people who bought DSLR's and have no business owning one. Maybe it is time to re-think your purchase in the first place. Since turning on the camera is your only ability, how will you buy the 5 or so lenses that you need to round out the DSLR experience?
This question repeated often on this site in one manner or another is like when I sold film. People would come in and say " I have this Kodak camera (motioning with their hands is a small box like form), what size film does it take?" The same situation exists today with the DSLR. People read this site where a few contributors recommend over & over a DSLR camera without regard to a person's desire to learn, or afford the experience. And then we have question such as yours, where after you made the purchase in good faith, you find yourself in a very confusing world of "Now What"!
If I were you based on the prior knowledge that you did not have, If you can return the camera, I would recommend that. And buy a quality "brdige" camera, which falls in the middle between a simple point and shoot and a DSLR. Master a decent bridge camera, then move on to a DSLR. Starting at the top of the heap is sure to be confusing and frustrating.
