2012 Joint Tool

I am trying to make a skeleton for my character. Why is it that my Joint tool doesn't look like everything I am seeing online and in my classes. I have no joints just outlined circular shapes with no bone shapes at all. I have searched online multiple times so I must be the dumbest user because no one else has this problem and if they do they can fix it.

You're not the dumbest user for not knowing this, this must be just a miss click or something that you clicked wrong, don't worry. I do believe that they are just at a large scale and all you really need to do is down scale it, by creating your joint and selecting it and using the scale/size tool and down scaling it.

Hopefully this helps

when I try to down scale it the handles go down then revert back to the original position

Ok my mistake, what you need to do is select your joints and go to display/animation/joint size.... Then it'll open a box where you can down and up scale your joints.
Hopefully this works for you!
