Hey amatetotalkto,
The first thing to do is learn the major chords, and I always show beginners a simple boom chick pattern. These guys have been giving you some good advice, and the most important thing is that you want to learn to play. Definitely check out fundamentals 1, it will show you a lot of information about the guitar, and probably the major chords too.

I think you should start with the major chords, and as you work on these positions, try to make the notes sound clean, and clear. This will take some time, but you will get it eventually. In all of these chord positions, we'll have you use only downstrokes with the pick.

For the A major chord, put your fingers in position, and play the 5th string. If that one rings clear, play the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st. Make sure you really work on the strings that you have your fingers on.

For the D major chord, you will play the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st. Do the same for this one, and try to make each string (note) ring clear. This is easier to do at a slow pace, that's why I have you playing the strings one at a time.

For the E major chord, you'll play all the strings one at a time starting with the 6th string.

For the G major chord, you will also play all the strings starting with the 6th.

For the C major chord, You'll play from the 5th string down to the 1st.

Work on these, and then we'll tackle B, and F. When your fingers get sore, make sure you take a break from it. Eventually your fingers will build callouses, and practicing will be much easier. You will also notice the notes getting much clearer, and soon you will be ready for a simple strumming pattern. Try not to get frustrated, because it will take some time to get this right. I hope this helps, and let me know if I can do anything else to help you.
