when I'm at school I smell a strong odor from my vaginal area and there is a lot of discharge. But when I'm at home I don't smell anything and there is little discharge. Keep in mind I take a shower twice a day(morning and night) everyday.

You may have a yeast infection, this tends to create an odor - wearing a deodorant pad may help.
Yeast infections aren't caused only by intercourse; antibiotics and wearing nylon underpants also may contribute. To avoid recurrent yeast infections, wear 100% cotton underpants. Nylon underpants keep heat trapped in the vaginal area, where there is already bacteria, and the warmth creates a breeding ground for bacteria, causing a yeast infection. Cotton allows the vaginal area to 'breathe'.
Too, when you go to sleep at night, sleep "free", by this I mean go underpants-less; it allows the vaginal area to breathe as well.

Is vaginal discharge normal?
Yes. Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.
The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when you breastfeed or when you're sexually excited.
What changes may be a sign of a problem?
Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. If you have any of these signs, you should talk to your doctor.
Tips on preventing vaginitis
After using the toilet, always wipe from front to back. This may help prevent getting bacteria from your rectal area into your vagina.
Wear cotton underpants during the day. Cotton allows your genital area to "breathe." Don't wear underpants at night.
Avoid wearing tight pants, pantyhose, swimming suits, biking shorts or leotards for long periods.
Change your laundry detergent or fabric softener if you think it may be irritating your genital area.
The latex in condoms and diaphragms and the sperm-killing gels that are used for birth control can be irritating for some women. If you think one of these things is a problem for you, talk to your doctor about other types of birth control.
Avoid hot tubs.
Bathe or shower daily and pat your genital area dry.
Don't douche.
Avoid feminine hygiene sprays, colored or perfumed toilet paper, deodorant pads or tampons, and bubble bath.

Try panty liners,
they keep you feeling fresh,
and make you smell nice,
Plus,
only wash like once a day,
maybe once in the morning,
or once in the night,
plus you could use baby powder.

Vaginal discharge should be colourless and odourless. If not, see a doctor.
