I'm 16, soon to be 17 in june, and I don't like tampons. Im scared that I'll get that TSS, and everytime I tried to wear one, it still bleed onto my panties, and i hate the feeling when taking them out. Is it normal or weird to like pads over tampons at my age? (link)

Its completely normal, I'm 16 and was only able to use them this year. My sister is 18 and still can't use one. Don't be scared of TSS it is very rare, as long as you don't wear one for 8+ hours you will be fine, and even if you wear it for a little longer than that, chances are nothing will happen. The reason you may be leaking is that you do not put it up far enough, also try different types, I find that the playtex sport are the easiest to get in and they don't leak as easily. (tampons hold less than pads so you will need to change it more often) When I first started using tampons they hurt me as well when I look them out, but after a while it doesn't hurt anymore. Also it WILL hurt if you put a tampon in, then take it out when it is still dry, so wait untill you think it has absored a decent amount.
I hope that made sense and I hope I could help
