    its okay, you can just use pantyliner, the discharge means that your period is on the way...(it could be 6 months to a year from now), just carry around pads just in case (& if it makes you feel any better i got my 1st period when i was 14...but its different 4 every1)

    hope i helped :]

    Vaginal discharge is just your body's natural way to keep your vagina clean and whatnot. It usually starts before you start your period, although every girl is different so I'm not sure when you will start your period, assuming you haven't already. If you feel uncomfortable, you can use panty liners. There isn't any need for pads or tampons yet. I would suggest asking your mom for any more advice, and don't freak: This is natural for women. =]

    it depends on what kind of discharge you are talking about. there's the normal vaginal discharge which sounds like what is going on in your case. the vagina keeps itself moist all of the time, and it keeps itself clean that way. all women have discharge. Now if the discharge is foul smelling, or changes consistency, then you should go to the doctor. if you want to wear a pantyliner, you can if you want, I don't think you have anything to worry about. plus there is a very normal brown discharge that you have after you're almost done with your period. get together with your Mom and talk about it. good luck.

    Did you get your period yet? Discharge is perfectly normal in young ladies. Pantyliners are good.

    If you don't feel right talking to your mum about it, talk to your school nurse or counsellor.

    But don't worry about it.

    It is your bodys way of cleansing itself. It is normal and you do not need pads unless it is excessive and causing you discomfort. It will come out of your underwear when you wash them.
