Vaginal discharge doesn't indicate attaining puberty. It might mean infection which needs to be treated.

Yellow discharge could be a sign of infection. Please get that treated, examine for foreign body. Menarche cannot be delayed or advanced. Don't worry too much about it

This discharge is not necessarily a sign of attaining menarche
The age of menarche nowadays is as early as 8 years
There is nothing can be done to delay that
