Am I weird?

I come from a very religious family. My dads side is super religious, my mom, not so much. I’m Hindu btw. So I got my period last year when I was 11 and one my second period I talked to my mom about tampons, because I am an avid field hockey player. She said sure but only for sports. I only wear tampons when I am a give or just feel gross. I just finished sixth grade and all the girls in the locker room look at me strangely when I need to change my tampon. I’m one of the few kids who has had their period, and the only kid who wears tampons. Am I weird? They’re so comfortable for me, and take less than a minute to put in for me.
