no one really mentioned this, so i'm going to tell you.
talk to your mom about taking you to the doctor. it's nothing weird or anything, it's normal. all women get yeast infections and such from time to time. Just tell her what is going on, she'll understand, she's gone through it too.
If you can't trust your mom for some reason, then talk to a trusted adult, preferably female.
Just know, it's normal. Get to a doctor, and you'll be okay.
good luck =]

Put an antibiotic pill up there. Keflex or one like it. But, you should go to the clinic you may have chlamidia which can lead to complications including cancer if left untreated.

Depending on the discharge..
if it has a fishy smell, and isn't clear it could very well be a yeast infection. You can buy over the counter medicine for these at Rite Aid.
if it looks normal, then just make sure to keep showering daily. also, try keeping summer's eve wipes with you. pantiliners can be a life saver to. your 13, and that's the time when you really start developing, and dishcharge unfortunately comes along with it. we all just have to deal.

This all depends on what type of discharge you have.
A normal discharge is clear and varies between being like egg whites and water. If your discharge has a greenish or bright yellow color to it and smells 'fishy' or is thick and clumpy (I know it sounds gross but bear with me) then you might have an infection. If you have an infection it is nothing to get too worried about, but you will have to tell your mom so she can get you medicine to clear it up.
If you don't think you have an infection, it is actually very easy to clear up an odor problem. Sweetie, do NOT use vinegar and water, it can CAUSE a yeast infection. Symptoms of a yeast infection include intense itching in your crotch, a thick, white discharge that resembles cottage cheese, and possibly burning while you pee. There is no odor to a yeast infection.
Do NOT clean inside your vagina. The reason you don't do that or use douche or vinegar and water solutions is because your vagina has a natural balance of good and bad bacteria in your vagina. Washing your vagina with harsh chemicals or vinegar will kill the good bacteria, will allows the bad bacteria to 'take over'. That can cause you serious infections.
What you CAN do is use a very mild soap on the outside of your vagina (anywhere you have pubic hair) like Dove Sensitive Bar or Summer's Eve Intimate Wash (comes in a bottle) only once a day.
I have found that Dial, Irish Spring, and Ivory all cause me to have a bad odor down there, so I switched to the Dove and Summer's Eve. Both work as well as the other.
If you menstruate, change your pads and tampons frequently to avoid more bad odor. And don't forget to change your underwear every day.

Okay. All you should need to keep yourself clean and healthy (and not smelling bad) is simple: soap and water. Getting a special soap for sensitive skin is needed - this means no smells, colours, or anything else that could upset your skin.
Then you only need to wash your vagina once daily. Washing more will get rid of good bacteria, causing your body to produce more - and possibly more smell as well.
You do NOT wash the actual vagina (meaning inside of yourself). You gently wash and rinse the skin around your vagina, taking care that all the soap is gone at the end.
Strong smelling discharge can be a sign of infection, as can coloured discharge. Both of these things should be checked out by a doctor.
However, you may also be overreacting to your personal smell. Most girls/women do have a unique smell, and this varies depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle, their eating habits, etc. This is a healthy part of being female and nothing to be alarmed about.
And while you are probably noticing this smell by holding your panties up near your face and sniffing, no one else is going to do that. You can rest assured that no one around you can smell anything out of the ordinary at all.

try water && vinegar !

Get some vinegar and water and use that to cleanse yourself. I'm not quite sure WHY it works, but it does.

There's really nothing you can do about it. It usually happen's before & after your period. So this is normal and there's nothing wrong if your parent's find out, it probably happens/happened to your mother. If you feel uncomfortable put a panty-liner down there.
Hope I helped.
