Relax and take a deep breath before you try. Being tense is just going to make it harder to get in. You may have to try several times before you can get one in correctly. Don't worry, lots of girls go through the same thing. Also, if one position does not work for insertion, try another position. You will eventually figure out the best way for you. Good luck.

If you're scared of the tampon, you're probably not really ready for it. They can be intimidating.
If you're dead set on using them, take your time. Lock yourself in the bathroom with your tampons. Make sure you use the smallest one for your period. You don't need the super strength tampons.
Squat over the toilet or stand with a foot on the toilet seat. Take the tampon and gently slide it inside you as far as you can get it in.
If the tampon has an applicator (either a smooth plastic or cardboard), slide it in until your fingers touch the vagina. Then, push the plunger part of the applicator in all the way. It will push the tampon up inside you.
If the tampon does not have an applicator, you'll have to manually push the tampon in all the way. That can be tricky.
I personally prefer the tampons with the smooth applicator. It makes putting them in easier and more comfortable.
Also, once you get it in, if you are still worried about it, wear a pantyliner just in case you still get a little bleeding. It helps.

It took me FOREVER to put my first tampon in.
Relax, grab a mirror, so you can see where to put it. Put a dab of petroleum jelly on the tip to help it glide in better.
Get the slenderest tampon to use.
I know its gross, but do what the above answerer said. Wash your hands, then insert your finger where the tampon is supposed to go to get used to it. Then remove, wash hands, and try with the tampon.
There are instructions online to read as well since you lost the leaflet.

What are you scared of? If your afraid of it getting stuck or something, that will not happen, even if the string somehow became loose(which I've never heard of). Just don't try to take it out right after you put it in unless you wet it first.
EDIT: Just relax all of your muscles in you pelvic area.
sit on the toilet, spread your legs and insert from below.
or lay on your back on your bed or bathroom floor and insert it the same way.
your vagina needs to be as strait as possible, sometimes you have to insert it more in the direction of your back
insert it as far as you can. If it doesn't go in very far, Sometimes what I do is push down with my abdomen muscles (like you need to go #2 while tampon is in as far as you can) and the vaginal muscles will "pick" the tampon up further in.

I had the SAME problem. its ALL in your head. the first time i did it i was home alone so i blasted the music and i had the phone tight by me for support from my best friend. you need to relax and make sure that you are able to do it right. read the directions on the box. and if they're to confusing as a trusted friend for advice. if you start feeling lightheaded or naucious take it out right away, and give it a break for a while.
