What we're talking about here is puberty. A woman's first menstrual period is actually one of the very LAST stages in puberty, occurring usually less than two years after puberty starts.
One of the first signs of puberty in females is the formation of firm, tender lumps (also called 'breast buds') directly under the center of the nipples, usually accompanied by some enlarging of the aureolae.
So those are your waypoints. If you have breast buds (it sounds like you do), then you have begun puberty. You can expect a period in a little less than two years from when those developed.
There aren't a whole lot of things that have been observed to interfere concretely with the timing but, as mentioned before, starvation diets is one of them. Extremely traumatic events can be another. Hopefully neither of these apply to you!
If you don't eat meat, you may be a bit anemic, which is pretty common for vegetarians. That basically means that you have a little less blood than most people anyway. If you have other vitamin shortfalls from your diet then we're probably looking at the long end of the spectrum. Since it's only been a year since you started, I would expect that you still have a bit to go (probably another year). Just be patient. All things come in time!

that is a pretty awful diet, and it is most definetly effecting your growth and development. You need a wide varity of foods to get enough nutrients to fuel your body. Not eating meat is okay, but you gotta get some fruits & veggies into your system. You don't have enough fuel, so your body can't develop the way it is supposed to.

The white gooey stuff is called menustration and you will get your period after the menustration becomes more and more in your underwear. You will have to wait about a couple more months or so.
