Answers:
Once you start puberty a white and/or clear, non-foul smelling discharge (mucous) is normal!. The vagina is self-cleaning!.
This same discharge increases the closer you get to ovulation and when you are sexually aroused!. Trust me, you don't ever want it to go away!.
Just because you've never experienced it before doesn't mean it's not normal!.
Different Types of Discharge:
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle!. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching!. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection!.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating!.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising!.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor!.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina!. Old blood looks brown!.
