This is probably a hormonal thing, because that is most common. Probably not anything to worry about, but next time you get a chance, ask your doctor. Can you ask your mother to check with Dr for you? If you are really worry, look into phone book for number of a Pediatrician or a Gynecologist, and call the office, ask to speak to the nurse and ask her. Also, a school nurse will confidentially help you. Good luck.

If you're worried check with your doctor. Sometimes females will have a little discharge from one nipple or the other. I didn't have it (my right breast) until after I was pregnant and finished nursing) but some women do. It's nothing to worry about but I'd have your doctor check it out anyway. If for no other reason so you will feel better.

OK honey, I've got the answer for you, but you're probably not going to like it very much! At your age, and the fact that you are NOT pregnant, it may be a sign of endocrine or infectious material or neoplasm. Neoplasm is the beginning of a growth, often starts with a discharge.
Endocrines have to do with hormones, and I know you know about infections. Doesn't sound like an infection......so I'm sorry to say that you need to go to a Dr..There's also IBC which starts like that some times too. So get your Dr. to give you a MRI of your breast. Insist upon it. If it turns into a sore.........
your life depends upon it.

Don't freak out, some women get discharges from their nipples even though they are not pregnant nor have ever been pregnant. Go to a clinic or just talk to a doctor and see what could be the problem.

It's milk..see your doctor. It could be for any number of reasons that this happened. Most likely a side affect of puberty and will probably go away but you may need to take some medication to balance your hormones. It may also be whats called an hysterical pregnancy...your not pregnant but your body thinks you are.

It happens from time to time, every woman/girl gets a a tiny clear discharge if you squeeze or pull the nipple. Its perfectly normal. But if it persists, maybe you should call a doctor and ask a nurse about it..

You could have a hormonal imbalance.
