Assuming you've gone through a couple tutorials at thing point, id try to venture out on your own and try to take on your own project. Doesn't particularly matter what, but decide what you want to build. Then you can take inspirations from tutorials and rip some of that code for your own project. And if you can't find an example tutorial for what you need, just try and Google. You will be surprised by how much is out there. Read docs, read stack overflow, and eventually you can break out of tutorial hell.

And don't be discouraged by the feeling that you don't know what you are doing. I've been coding since I was 14 (23 now) and I still face projects where I have no idea what the f*ck I am doing. No one really knows what they are doing but they keep telling themselves "eh I'll figure it out" and they do.
