I am a 14 year old female. I recently decided I would try to start wearing tampons, and after realizing that I could not put it in, I went to go examine myself. I noticed that there is a large fleshy lump right at the entrance of my vagina, completely blocking the entrance. I don't have any idea if this even is the entrance to my vagina. It is right at the middle of I spread my labia. I also can't seem to locate my urethra, I think it may be blocked by this as well. I have never been sexually active, and I was completely unable to insert the tampon. Please help! Is this serious?

That could well be your hymen. There should be a hole in it to allow your mentrrual flow to escape. If you have periods and the blood flows, then you should be OK. Maybe your hymen is tough.
This is an example of a hymen:

But there are varitaions, for instance as in these diagrams:

I hope this helps as a start. If you want to talk about it more, just ask (privately if you prefer)
