No, girls get discharge because their vaginas are cleaning themselves out. That's what it is. Girls get wet when they are horny, but it's different. It doesn't show up in underwear like discharge does.
"A discharge is VERY NORMAL. This is your vaginal discharge and it changes during the month from being very wet and runny to being thick and rope like. It is your body's way of cleansing the vaginal canal. You will continue having this discharge for most of your life. If you find the dampness is uncomfortable for you, try using an Always pantiliner daily. However, if the discharge has an odor, itches, or burns, then that indicates an infection that needs to be diagnosed and treated by a physician."

A doctor cannot tell ANYONE anything about your or their medical history to ANYONE regardless of their relationship to you without consent. The only time that changes is if you're in crisis or a situation where your life is on the line and you can't make decisions on your own.
They also can break this rule if you're on a psychiatric hold in a hospital. Your friend needs to be HONEST with the doctors about their sexual history because there may be something wrong that will get totally overlooked and be detrimental to their health otherwise. Never lie to a doctor under any reason.
They cannot tell parents anything by law. In fact you or they can go and get birth control or pregnancy checks anonymously even through a Planned Parenthood Teen Sexuality Clinic. They can put people on birth control and provide a first pack but beyond that you're responsible for costs.
It's best that your friends do this if they're having sex and are concerned about discharge and other issues. I can't fathom why her mother won't take her to be checked. Must be about the cost or a stance (religious possibly Catholic etc.) against birth control devices. I honestly don't know why but if her daughter is requesting it she ought to listen up.
Also, it's better parents know what their kids are doing even though it's difficult to tell them. They can make sure they are on birth control and being safe. It's a winning situation.
