Diet & lifestyle: Masturbating should not have an effect on how tall you grow. Important considerations in helping your body & mind meet optimal potential in development are diet & lifestyle. Make certain you eat three good meals daily, take a multiple vit/mineral supplement for teens daily, avoid alcohol, smoking, illicit drugs & risky sex. Exercise regularly. And get routine medical & dental exams!
