Vaginal Discharge: These may be symptoms of bacterial vaginitis. Not necessarily a STD. Only a pelvic exam and appropriate tests can tell for certain.

Get tested for STD: An STD (sexually transmitted disease) can potentially cause the problem you are having. STD's can cause all types of menstrual irregularity. Your confidentiality should be protected, (i.e. your parents or anyone else will not be told about your testing). Health departments often provide testing and treatment for STD without charge. Protect yourself in the future with consistent use of condoms.
