The only time when discharge becomes an issue is if it's a weird color such as green for example, smells extremely bad, looks chunky like cottage cheese. If this is accompanied by itching, raw, sore genitals it's signs of infection or perhaps an STD if sexually active.
Below I have pasted a great article for you that explains the purpose of vaginal discharge and tells you what is healthy discharge versus bad discharge. you cannot get rid of the healthy kind but you sure can about the ones linked to infection and STD.
You really should talk to your mother about it if it's something you are troubled about. While you think it's embarassing it really isn't as she knows all about this being a woman and all and probably had the same fears and concerns as you do when she was your exact same age.

However, if you experience a fishy smell or a bread-y type smell -- have it checked out, because it could be an STD or a yeast infection. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
