Yes - different types of discharge indicates different stages in your cycle.
"Different Types of Discharge
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test."

Discharge from the vagina is normal for a teen girl, don't worry about it. If you've been messing around with a boy, then it might be something different, but normally, it's just a regular girl thing, no worries. Take lots of showers and baths, and eat regularly, and make sure your panties are clean. I'm saying this as a brother of 3 sisters, and a dad of a beautifll young daughter.

Absolutely..especially a higher amount of discharge..it is usually a little tougher and slightly more "rubbery" than regular discharge. Sounds funky, but it's the truth.

at mid cycle the progesterone levels go up the vaginal secretions may be a bit more mucousy
foul or discoloured secretions or itchy secretions are not normal

Wow, that is gross. If your vagina is throwing up maybe you should be geared towards something else beside ovulating. Sounds like you have an acute case of the rotten crotch. You should probably go get it checked out

Sometimes! It can also be caused by a yeast infection. If you have burning see your Dr. otherwise you are fine.

Depends. Does it have a bad odor? Does it make you itch? Better see a doctor if it does.

It can be. It can also be due to pregnancy or an STD.
