That's normal, it's something that all women get on quite a regular basis. If you haven't already started your periods, it sounds like your body is getting ready to start over the next few months. The discharge is nothing to worry about, unless it starts to smell bad, in which case you should see a doctor in case you have an infection. If you don't like the feel of it on your underwear, try wearing a pantyliner (it's a thin, small sanitary towel)
Discharge itself is normal at your age, and all women get it. It varies in amount, but it's normal. However, it should be odorless, and white-y clear on most days, sometimes a bit yellow before periods. If it has a bad smell or there are traces of green, get yourself to the doctor. It may be bacterial vaginosis or yeast infection, and if left untreated, it could lead to even more severe health issues. Don't be embarrassed about going to the doctor if anything is wrong, they will help out and vaginal infections are extremely common among women!! :-)
