You are in the same boat as most teenage girls. Despite what any diagram says most girls have trouble inserting tampons for the first time. I have a hunch a lot of it has to do with being fearful of pain or hurting yourself by doing something wrong. If that is so do not worry.
You cannot possibly do something wrong like loose it inside of you or be unable to remove it. That is myth. I do know it can feel weird or uncomfortable from all the reading I have done as a counselor.
A tip that comes up is putting vaseline on the aplicator, put a foot on the rim of the toilet and try to slide it in. There is only one way you can go with it so it will with practice go in.
Your best bet would be to get online and go over to the best site for teens, parents, educators on sexuality called Scarleteen it has articles on this subject and questions from people who are having difficulty with it www.scarleteen.com Tampax and OB have sites as well with better instructions. Hope this helps you out. Definitely visit Scarleteen.com it will be a Godsend to you and other teens with these questions.

It's easiest to put a tampon in when you're very bloody...it sounds gross but it's so you can easily slide in. You could even buy some KY jelly to use as lubrication. Try buying the teen fit slim tampons first...they are VERY thin so they can go in easier.
