    Question

    my discharge is really pale green and really thick, like snot when you have the flu. and smells kind of like bleach

    Answer

    I am assuming that the discharge being described is penile discharge. Since it has a greenish color and odd odor, it could be signs of an infection. I recommend that you make an appointment with a medical provider. There are some simple tests that can be done to see if it is an infection. Luckily these infections are treatable usually with oral medications.
