Question
i have white stuff on my pants. is this discharge? when will my period start?
Answer
I assume you mean the white stuff is in your underwear and yes, this is vaginal discharge and perfectly normal. I cannot predict when your periods will start, but the age that your mom was when she started might be a good indicator. I can tell you it is usually about a year after you get pubic hair. Good luck!
