I actually learned to play songs with F#m before I learned F .. I somehow thought it was easier then. Maybe it is, I'm not sure - but you could try.
What you're really lacking is probably just strength. I'd say just keep practicing until your hand has beefed up. I know it's tempting to use the beginners F, but what you wanna do of course is to learn the real thing. The F is a likely and good place to start learning the barre chords (chords played up on the neck where you use finger(s) to press down multiple strings). After all, so much of a guitar is neck so of course you need to learn how to play it.
Once you are comfortable with F (and barre), it opens up a whole new bunch of opportunities.
