You can buy panty liners to protect your panties. They have scented ones too that are nice. It may be a signal to you that your period's not too far off. Keep some feminine hygiene with you just in case. Maybe pads in your locker.

It just means that you're undergoing puberty.
Daily vaginal discharge is part of being a woman - some days you have more, some days you have less, sometimes it's thick and milky, sometimes it's like someone dumped raw egg white in your undies.
Just make sure you wear clean cotton undies each day, and talk to your mom about pantyliners.
If your discharge goes grey or green and smells horrible, then you have a bacterial infection and should see a doctor. If it gets really itchy down there and your discharge gets all white or yellowish and thick and lumpy, then that's a sign that you have a yeast infection. The first time you get one of those you should see a doctor to make sure that's what it is, but once you can recognise them yourself, you can buy treatment over the counter at a pharmacy.

discharge is a very broad and generic term that can be sued to describe anything that comes out of the vagina.
If what you're experiencing is a pasty white to gooy clear, and isn't chunky and doesn't smell bad, the correct term for it is cervical mucus. You're body starts producing it when estrogen levels are high. Search 'cervical mucus' in google or wikipedia to learn more about it.
It is not the vagina cleaning itself out. That is a common misconception. It actually serves a reproductive function. You're vagina can be totally clean and infection free and you will still get cervical mucus. However if it is dirty and infected you will get puss which is a different kind of discharge and that is the vagina trying to clean itself out.

Vaginal discharge is when you're "v" is trying to clean itself and prevent from getting infection. The first time you get this is kind of like a warning that it will start from 3 months to a year so just be aware of what you will have to do like keeping a little purse in your backpack with a change of underwear and a pad and you will be fine.

totally normal...and part of being a girl. Infact, you'll continue to have discharge for many more years to come... it's the way the vagina cleans itself... This may or may not be a sign of getting your period. Usually when you first get your period it's associated with cramping. If you start to see any pink or reddish discoloration in the discharge, then you're on your way... if not...then you're still normal
don't worry :)

That doesn't seem pretty normal. What type of discharge? It could be your period coming FINALLY, lucky U. If it is white, yellowish, thick, etc., it could be an infection and believe or not, if you use regualr non flavor yoghurt, the live active cultures it has can cure it for you just find a way to get them "up there." Look on www. to see what it might be.

Vaginal discharge is normal,unless you have an odor. As for not starting your menstrual cycle, unsure. Different females begin and different times of life. Talk to your mom or dad and have them take you to see a doctor. Good luck and God bless****

Vaginal discharge is completely normal, but if you are too worried about it then go for a check up with your physician.
