So I've been using tampons for a week, and I just went to take mine out, and it was difficult to take out, so I looked down, and there was this elastic skin that was wrapped around one edge!I didn't rip it or cut it or anything.I just had to dig the tampon out from the other side.So I was just wondering if that was good or bad that that happened, and if I should continue using tampons??

That small, elastic piece of skin is actually your hymen. If you google "hymen types", you will see what I'm talking about, and that they also come in many different variations.
Either your hymen hasn't broken fully, or you have a "split" hymen. Gross as it is to be giving out details like this over the internet, mine was attached almost down the middle of the opening, so that one "side" was slightly larger than the other.
When I used tampons, I had to make sure that I was pushing the tampon in through the larger opening, so that it would come out easier.
If your hymen breaks, you wont need to worry about this piece of skin blocking your tampon anymore. [ Zahhy's advice column | Ask Zahhy A Question ]

Sometimes it's just hard to get them out so wouldn't worry but do some research if your completely flustered! I know that sounds really weird doing research on your vagina!XD but hey if your frantically worried then do it. Im pretty sure you'll be fine! Hope I helped!
