Thank you for writing. You said you had no bad habits but masturbating, yet to me that isn't bad at all. Masturbation is a natural and healthy way to relieve the sexual tensions in our body. At your age especially, the relief of these tensions in a healthy way like this is necessary.
As your body develops out of childhood, there are more and more hormonal pressures to feel sexual. It is very natural then, to relieve this pressure through self pleasuring (masturbation). In addition to tension release, masturbation is good for your heart, lungs and bringing oxygen to many parts of your body. It also creates the release of other chemicals that are good for your joints and relaxing of muscles.
There is nothing you need to feel ashamed about. It is a common and natural way of being healthy.
