Is there any primitive root of $p$ which is not primitive root of $p^2$ without $1$?

Is there any primitive root of $p$ which is not primitive root of $p^2$ without $1$ (since $1$ is a primitive root of $2$ but $1$ is not a primitive root of $4$)?

Are there other examples?

If $a$ is a primitive root modulo $p$, then $a^p$ is also a primitive root modulo $p$ but not modulo $p^2$.
