It is normal. When it is close to your period it maybe thinner and when you are ovulating it maybe long and stringy. The point is that it is normal and it changes throughout the cycle. Do not worry about it to much.

Yes. All women have some discharge and if you watch it, it will change during your monthly cycle. Sometimes it is clear, sometimes it is gooey. Those are normal changes.
IF it is itchy, looks like cottage cheese or smelly, then you do have an infection of some sort and you need to see a doctor. Odds are good if you've never had sex, you probably don't have an infection (though anyone can get yeast..that's the itchy kind of infection).
If you have yeast, you can get something from the drugstore that will cure it without a doctor but if it is your first yeast infection, you should still get checked, just so you do know what it is for sure.
And if you do have any of the problems mentioned above, you DO need to see a doctor as not treating it correctly, could result in bigger problems including risking your ability to ever get pregnant.
So, hopefully I've answered your question with "yes, it is normal," but just be aware of the warning signs that you might have a real problem.

If you are not itchy and it is still fairly watery, this would just be normal fluid meant to lubricate your vagina.
I am more concerned that you will not visit a doctor. Go to a woman. There are lots of women doctors who see people with all shapes, sizes, colors and "strange symptoms". I know it is embarassing to get your first pelvic exam, but once you have done it, and get to know your doctor, it will become just as easy as having your eyes examined, or ears, or throat....you get the picture. Everyone from the age of 18 and on should have yearly exams to head off potential problems. I have a family member who had fibroids in her uterus, but was so ashamed of letting someone see her "down there" she was almost willing to live with the pain. The result, she could have suffered from fertility problems later if she had not sucked it up and scheduled an appointment.

First of all- why won't you go to a doctor? Everyone girl should get a physical once a year once you hit your teenage years. White discharge: It's normal. If it is really thick, or chunky, or if it smells, or if it's off white (grey, green, yellow, red) it is not normal. But every woman gets a little discharge- sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's white.

Mine is always kind of white and a lot of it, it also has a bit of a sweet smell.... I went to the doctor because of it and was told it was perfectly normal. Some women just have more. If it is white and "cottage cheesy" or a dry type of thick, then you probably have a yeast infection. That needs checked out for sure. Otherwise, if you have this forever, then probably fine.

Discharge changes at all different times of a women's cycle but if this is something you've never seen before i would say it is a yeast infection. Typically women have clumpy discharge and itching. And it typically smells like bread. If this is your first one they say you should go to the dr. to make sure. If you won't go to the dr. you can pick up Monistat in the drug store. Make sure you get at least the 3 day one because the 1 day one usually won't take care of it. If you have a gyn you can call there office and tell them you think you have one and ask them to prescibe difulcan. It's a pill you take once.

If you are only 13 this might be normal because we women do secrete a discharge 24/7...
On the other hand, if you have any type of itching with this discharge then you have yeast infection and you should tell your doctor about it....

Most women excrete a discharge from their vagina. Just as long as it is white and doesnt start to smell funny (different than a normal vagina already smells) I wouldnt worry about it

Normal, your body regulates acidity and keeps things clean this way. This is kinda yuck but, if it smells bad, or is yellowish you may have an infection, see your doctor.

Yes it is normal and smell like bad cheese. This is the yeast due to acidity.
