I'm indeed not the best one to give you an advice, but I got stuck in newbie for nearly a year, the reason for this is that I was practicing alot but practicing wrong.

First of all, don't give a damn for the color and don't panic about your rating after every contest, it's just a matter of time with good practice to overcome all of this

Start with topcoder, the 250-Div2 problems, Start solving them and look for the editorial and solutions of the others after you solve each problem. You will sure discover alot of great things

When you find yourself getting most of the 250-Div2 problems in time of 240 or more, start going for the 500-Div2 problems and B&C on Codeforces

Since you are from Jordan so I assume you know Arabic, this playlist is about how to practice by Mostafa Saad, hope it helps. Have fun and Good luck !
