Puberty help? girls only plz?

K, so I'm 14, only about 4'8'', and just starting puberty (yes, i know. this is sad) but i have 2 problems

1. Why am i hairy "down there" but i don't have any hair in my pits, etc.? I've been getting hair there for about a year but absolutely no other signs of puberty...

2. Yellow, vinegary smelling vaginal discharge... it's not itchy and according to my mom not a yeast infection, but it's been going on for at least a month. It's like mucus and for a while it dried green, then went back to yellow. At first i thought it was that gunk before you start your period then of course i remembered 'oh yea i don't have any boobs or anything' and it kept coming nonstop for weeks...

ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE EITHER OF THESE ISSUES???? and no this isn't a joke :/

    You are getting hairy down there because you are going through puberty. The hair under you arms and other places will come soon. It doesnt all happen at once. Its really a gradual process.

    The discharge is totally normal except for when you said it was green. Any colour apart from white/clear/yellow can be sins of infections. But this discharge means that your period could come any time within the next few months or years. If you hate the way that it stains your underwear, you can wear pantyliners and change them reguarly but most people just dont. The discharge can happen any where from a few months to 3 years before you get your period. I have had it for 2 years and i havent got my period yet. But im expecting it to happen soon.

    Dont worry, your body is just changing from its child body into your woman body. Just strap in and enjoy the ride :)

    Honestly it sounds like you might be dehydrated. Try drinking more or extra water for a couple weeks and see if it clears up, if it doesn't see a doctor. Also everyone enters puberty in their own way at their own time. The hair could just be starting there because it can. And another thing, you don't have to have boobs to have a period. Sometimes you don't get boobs until after you start your period. I know it sounds weird, but its true.

    Nothing. You're preparing to maturialize. Your body is producing mega hormones for your next stage in life which will be a long one. Just relax & stay fresh because bacteria multiply quickly in the warmth.
