sometimes my discharge is white, sometimes it's clear. I discharge pretty much everyday. NOT just after periods. I haven't had sex in any way yet. Do I have BV?

You could. That sounds pretty normal though to me.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) results from an overgrowth of organisms that are normally present in the vagina. Usually, "good" bacteria outnumber "bad" bacteria in your vagina. But if bad bacteria become too numerous, they upset the balance and bacterial vaginosis results. This type of vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis) can spread during sexual intercourse, but it also occurs in people who aren't sexually active. Women with new or multiple sex partners, as well as women who douche or use an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control, have a higher risk of bacterial vaginosis. You may develop a grayish-white, foul-smelling discharge. The odor, often described as fish-like, may be more obvious after sexual intercourse.

you could have bv. One could have bv not only thru sexual intercourse, but it could be thru improper cleaning after going to toilet. Try to clean it up backwards and not from the anus to your genitals.
It could also be a pH imbalance. If it is too basic, you are prone to infection so you have to be slightly acidic about 5.5 pH. There are some vaginal douche to keep the pH in acid millieu.
Or try Grandma´s recept for this problem. Fold a piece of toilet paper 3 folds. Place a teaspoon natural joghurt ( WITHOUT FRUITS ) on it and wipe your genitals with this. Joghurt is slightly acidic and would increase your pH. High pH value above 7 to 9 should be avoided.
IF THIS DON´T HELP, CONTACT YOU GYNECOLOGIST.

Your discharge sounds normal, and like you are just going through your normal cycle changes. If you get a fishy smell, that doesn't go away, then it's most likely BV, and you need to see your doctor. I hope this helps you out :)

If it smells or sometimes turns to yellow colour ,it can be infection.It is normal and happens if you swim in local pools or the sea or even if your under wear is a little wet.
You should go to a doctor and she will prescribe some antibiotic tablets for you.If you do not pay attention to it,you will have pain in lower part of your belly.
If it does not smell and is not yellow: It is nothing.Just keep there clean to avoid any infection.

Did you kiss someone or something recently with syphillis, gonnorhea maybe, something else. Maybe shook their hand? Sounds like a Divine punishment for your sins.
