I asked the same question when I was in my teens (forty years ago) because no-one told me what it was and I thought it was abnormal, not realising that it was normal for girls to have a vaginal discharge all the time. All girls have a creamy discharge. If you have never been sexually active and therefore not been in a position to catch anything transmitted sexually, it is highly probable that it is normal and even if you have been sexually active, it is still probably normal. If it is brownish or has a very strong smell, you might go to your doctor but if you feel shy about that, take someone with whom you trust and feel comfortable along with you. A doctor should unerstand if you need a reassuring person in with you. I hope you can find a Doctor Who understands and is sympathetic to a young woman's feelings about new things happening in her body. Bless you!

p.s. Perhaps I might add that if there is itchiness with it, it can point to a yeast infection which can be easily cleared up with treatment and that if the colour is a strong yellow or green, I believe you should seek medical advice. My reference to 'brown' earlier as possibly being a problem was wrong I believe. If it is brown it tends to be a mixture of old blood at the end of a period along with the discharge.

I hope that helps and doesn't worry you.
