Overindulgence?: The short-lived pleasure from orgasm has compelled many persons to indulge in its experience. Although you're young and you get sex drive, you still have so much work to do to make you successful and capable to live on. So, try enjoying it in moderation and don't let political correctness and commercialism distract your life too much. If in doubt, talk with someone knowledgeable in the field.

Masturbation: Masturbation is a common part of the human experience. There are no negative health consequences to this sexual activity. It is not medicine's role to define when, how, or with whom one is sexual. Many, if not most boys your age, masturbate frequently. There is zero worry here and please enjoy your life and your sex.
