vaginal discharge could be a sign of many different things, depending on the color or odor of it. You didn't say whether or not she has had intercourse or not.
If she has had intercourse already, then it could be a possible STD.
Having some amount of vaginal discharge is quite normal because glands in the cervix produce a clear mucous and those secretions may turn white or yellow when exposed to air.
Yeast infections cause a cheesy white discharge with a lot of redness and itching. This is common if you have recently been on antibiotics.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina causing a grey discharge with a fishy odor.
If she is worried, have her talk to her mom and maybe go to see a gynecologist.

It is very normal to have "gooey" discharge. If it gets too much or starts to smell fishy she'll need to see a doctor. It is still not a bad thing.

it is very common and normal for girls around that age or about the ages of 9-14 that means that she is going to get her period soon and start her puberty

the stuff you speak about is the normal vaginal secretion,need cause no alarm as long as there is no irritation,or itchiness & no offensive smell .this may mean that periods will soon follow.
