barre chord is when one or more of your fingers are used to press down multiple strings at a time. This is extremely difficult for a beginner as you need a lot of strength in your hands to get a clean sounding chord.
This does not mean that the F chord is impossible, it simply means that you have to practice and build up strength in your hands.
The problem is, that there are many songs that you probably will want to learn how to play that require the F chord. The good news is, that there is a much easier way to play the F chord, as the video below demonstrates.
Enjoy and keep practicing.
