When I first had my period, I struggled with using tampons, too. There is no need to be scared of them; they just take some getting used to. I would recommend lying down and relaxing your body and then trying to insert the tampon very slowly. The blood should act as a natural lubricant anyway. Nowadays, I use applicator tampons, which I find more convenient (they weren't around at the time I was a teen) If it doesn't work, try another time. It took me a few attempts, but it's defnitely worth it.
Is it normal to be scared about tampons?
