Hi and thanks for your question. I apologize if it has taken us a while to get back to you. Let me tell you that you do not need to worry at all about masturbating and your height. You are just entering puberty and can expect to have a few more years of upward growth in you. In fact you most likely will keep growing until well after your 18th or 19th birthday. Masturbation is a perfectly natural and normal sexual expression for people of all ages. It helps people to relieve stress, tension, and is a really safe way to express yourself sexually. Finally there is no harm in masturbating or ejaculating regularly. I hope this helps you feel better! Scott Gross
