Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens.
Younger women are at higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) which is where TSST-1 toxins produced by bacteria enters the bloodstream leading to something similar to septic shock, younger women are at higher risk as they're less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and their vaginal tissues are more delicate so more prone to be damaged by tampon use which allows toxins into bloodstream.
Tampons pose various health risks and younger women may not be mature enough to understand those risks to make an informed choice about using tampons. With so many other options like menstrual cups and softcups which are more convenient than tampons as well as safer, it seems many young women just want to use tampons because their friends use tampons and this isn't a good basis for making healthcare choices. A woman needs to be mature enough to follow precautions to reduce risks of infections and TSS with tampon use too, often younger women aren't responsible enough for tampon use - you have to make sure you're ready for that responsibility.
