Tampons
I am a 15 year old girl and I got my period for the first time when I was 13. I have never used a tampon before... because it's scary and really gross. I tried once last year when I was 14 and almost passed out, I try to relax but putting stuff "up there" absolutely disgusts me... it feels weird even trying to find the hole and thinking about it makes me feel a little nauseous right now. I haven't tried to again since. What do I do :(

You're still young. Learn to become comfortable with your private parts at a pace you are comfortable with. You find it scary and gross because it's something new but this is a part of you and will be for the rest of your life.
So learning proper care of your private parts, what it looks like, what is a normal odor for it and what is not is helpful in case you get any infections.
There's no reason to use a tampon unless you are on a swim team or plan to go swimming at the beach.
From puberty on, you will be on a path of sexual discovery about yourself. Instead of avoiding anything to do about your privates, study about them, use a mirror to look at yourself, touch yourself, even at later stages when ready, to smell yourself and taste yourself. You can't hurt yourself by exploring the vagina with your fingers, just make sure you've washed your hands.
People are creatures of habit and don't take well to changes. Change IS scary so I understand. The first time I gave myself an orgasm accidently, I had no idea what it was. It scared the crap out of me so badly I didn't masturbate for another year or two.
So I suggest you at least do the studies now, even if you're not ready for self exploration. You can find information on line to self teach. And there are good you tube videos out there too. advice to teens. Their section on sex and period related topics for girls has 32 articles. Here' the link.
