HELP me out with my period!!

So I’m 14 years old, and the first time I ever started my period was last December. I’ve been wearing pads but a lot of my friends and people I know where tampons, my friend even suggested it saying it’s so much better. I’m just wanting to know different opinions about tampons and everything else. I have been thinking about it but I’m kinda scared, so I was wanting to know everything I might need to know first. Do you think I’m to young? Should I try it? Should I stop listening to everyone and stick with pads?
