Sweetie, vaginal discharge is normal in girls your age. It is also normal that you do not yet have your period. Menses can start anywhere from age 10 to 16 but there are girls that start as early as 7 and as late as 19. It is different for everyone! Also, if you are an avid exerciser or very underweight, you are a prime candidate for late onset. Just be patient! It will come when your brain and hormones signal your body that it is the right time for YOU. If you are really worried about it, ask your mom to take you to a gynecologist but, being honest, I would not worry about it since it is totally normal not to have your period yet. Sorry, there is no way to speed up the process. The only way you will know it is coming is if you are one of the unfortunate ones to get the symptoms of PMS: bloating, water weight gain, cramps, etc. Your time will come, honest!

There are some disorders that cause delayed menstruation but anything before the age of 16 is considered normal, you may just be a late bloomer. Have you developed other signs of puberty, like pubic hair, breasts buds that develop into breasts, axillary hair, etc? All those generally happen before menstruation begins.
Personally I was also a late bloomer, got my period at 14 yrs 5 months and I was the last one. However, I was very fertile and still am. I also developed breasts later than others and they grew further after I had children (a nice surprise!) I found out this is common in female members of my family.
If you are nearing 16 yrs of age and still without your period, especially if you aren't developing other signs of puberty, you need to see a doctor.

Trust me it is a gift if you haven't had your period yet. I wish I hadn't gotten mine til I was in my late 20's at least. Why do you want to speed up the process ?
Enjoy this time while it lasts.
I think we all need our head examined as females !
We're all in such a rush to get our periods. Why ? Then all we do is ***** about it !

Yes, it's normal! Well...I think...I'm 13 and I already have mine, but I heard sometimes it's not until 16 years.
