Question
I recently stopped taking my birth control pills, and now I have thick, clear discharge,like snot. Does this have anything to with no longer taking birth control? What am I suppose to do if I don't want to talk to my parents?

Keep track of your periods, and chances are that the discharge signals that you are ovulating. It should pass in a day or so. If it hangs around, see a doctor. You are 18. There is no need to talk to your parents.
