Answers:

It is called Leukorrhea, this is what I got from wikipedia:

Leukorrhea (US) or leukorrhoea (Commonwealth) is a medical term that denotes a thick, whitish vaginal discharge. It results from inflammation or congestion of the vaginal mucosa. In case it is yellowish or gives off an odour, it ceases to be healthy and a doctor should be consulted.

Leukorrhea is a sign that the vagina is healthy and keeping clean. It may sometimes occur before a girl has her first period, and is considered a sign of puberty.

There are many causes of leukorrhea, the usual one being increased estrogen. The amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infection or STDs, in which case it becomes more yellow and foul-smelling. Vaginal discharge is normal for a woman, and all women are different. Causes of change in discharge include infection, malignancy, and hormonal changes.

-So basically as long as this discharge is not yellow or green, and doesn't smell bad, then you are fine and it is a normal function of the female body. Some girls have it more than others is all. But it means your vagina is keeping herself clean :)
