OK so many people have brought up masturbation during the forum (including me) and first off, yes it is completely normal, though it does have an effect on your body and mind.
Some physical effects are fatigue, soarness (depending on how often), and some lower back pain . The long term effects are early loss of hair but also a 20% less chance of prostate cancer.
More important than the physical effects are the mental effects. Many myths surround masturbating and dating, even in the movie, "Something About Marry" there is talk about masturbating before a date.
The truth is, that does not help. After masturbating there is a drop in testosterone levels, which truly, makes you more feminine. It also lessens your desire to do anything.
Others think that it gives you a bad attitude towards women. They say that it makes you feel that what is shown in porn is OK (This varies from person to person however...)
I used to masturbate chronichly and i had no motivation to do anything. I just sat around and waked it all day, and i got bored. Then i got lucky and went on vacation for a week with my family and had no privacy what so ever. I was pissed at the time but it did a world of good for me. I became more motivated for everything. My grades even went up.
In the end, though, masturbating is still healthy, especially while in high school. My advice, and the advice of professionals, is to only do it 2 or three times per week. Set a date and hold yourself to it. This of course will make everything much more enjoyable, as well as it will make you more confident and motivated throughout your day.
Good luck xD
