No: Acne is inherited. It is also caused by hormone changes related to puberty and plugging of skin pores. Masturbation has no effect on acne.

No: Essentially every male and a majority of female teens enjoy their bodies when they're alone. It won't make you pimply, short, stupid, hairy, smooth, bald, infertile, insensitive to others, an unfit parent / partner, impotent, or unspiritual. It helps you stay comfortable so you can do other things, and prepares you for adult roles.
