See I started my Competetive Programming as well as learning my first Programming Language exactly 1 year ago. August Long Challange 2017 on Codechef was the first contest I participated.
You may feel helpless or dumb at initial stages but remember everybody has gone through that demotivating phase.
You should enjoy the problem-solving process.
First green-tick is very important because the participant is not aware of the concept of ONLINE_JUDGE hence we tend to commit a lot of mistakes while taking input and printing as well as logic for of program.
Every time I see green-tick I get a soothing feeling. That encourages me to solve more problems so try to find your reason for doing this.
You will get a lot of information on how to start CP on the internet. So buck up and enjoy this process.
I can see you haven’t made any submission. So this won’t help you to improvise. At least wrong submissions show that you are trying.
Note: Before asking a question just check what is the right way to ask a question in the forum.

Pretty much summed it up here.
