If it's watery and doesn't smell that great, there is no problem. Basically, you have to remember that we are humans, but still animals. The fact that it's colorless means that you don't have an infection. Now you said that you got your first period last month, right? So you're expecting another soon...
Well when you're ovulating (about 2 weeks before your period, when you're most fertile) your body releases pheramones-chemicals that attract the opposite sex. Of course, we aren't as keen to these smells as animals, so they don't do much. Well, in the week or so before your period, you are not very fertile at all. So your discharge doesn't contain those chemicals, but instead different ones that do the opposite.
I know it sounds gross, but generally, others can't smell it even though you can.
During this time, you can wear a panty shield (which some people also do just in preperation for their period, in case it comes early) to absorb the smell. You can also try this trick-just make a stripe with your deoderant on the underside of your underwear. It blocks any unpleasant smell. Trust me, it works! :D

You need to go see a doctor. Anytime there's a bad smell coming from the vaginal area, you need to get checked out. It's probably just a minor bacterial infection (all women get these, it doesn't mean that you're dirty or anything else.)
They'll be able to tell you what it is and get you the proper treatment.

its cervical mucus. Its normal, it will change during different stages of your cycle. Dont worry about it. All the women i've ever known have had it and its ok. Get some Vagisil powder to sprinkle in your panties or on a pantyliner to cover the smell, just keep yourself clean and you should be fine.

yeast infection!!

If its clear it may not be nothing to worry about but I still go in for a checkup and bring it up!

talk to your mother about this
