I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, but now my wifi doesn't work. I installed the additional driver which was just the software modem.

I don't know what else to do about it except for installing the updates, but any time I try, it gets stuck configuring bcmwl-kernel source.

This is my first experience with Ubuntu and I haven't been working with computers for very long, so please speak in simple terms.

Bcmwl-kernel-source is incorrect for your device. Please get a temporary wired ethernet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

Detach the ethernet, reboot and let us hear your success.
