Masturbation is BAD

Hello everyone.
Actually I'm a victim of Masturbation!!! yeah that's right I said VICTIM cause there are many people who believe masturbation is good for health and is a way to release tension. Well I disagree 100% because I've been addicted to it for about 4 years or more and I do it almost every time I'm alone in house with my PC and porn is the real reason which I got addicted. Btw I wanted to say that i have experienced a lot of its side effects like eye floaters and stopped growing taller since i first started doing this which I was about 15 and the longest time i managed to not do it was about 3 months and other bad effects like depression,low confidence,less desire to go out,and actually some bad noises from my bones when I work out and all of these are because when u masturbate u flush out lots of minerals and vitamins and other vital things needed for your body which take a long time to transform into their usable form for body and I definitely feel the lack of them in my body and how it is destroying me.
Then yeah I'm saying all of these from experience and everyday I search the internet i see many people especially experts and doctors saying it's good for you.
So If it's good why do many of us feel dirty and guilty after we masturbate or why don't we like to tell it to our parents or friends and it's not sth ur proud of.
So PLZ convince me why is masturbation Good and Healthy????

First I should say that I live in Iran which is a religious country and there are all these stuff and beliefs about masturbation and how bad it is.
But I personally am not a religious and fanatical guy so my words aren't based on biased information,all the information I've given is what I've researched in a lot of English sites(which most of were reliable) and what I've experienced since I started this.
And if I wanted to spread false info I would've created a blog or sth but I signed up here to seek help and hear different ideas.
BTW I appreciate your comment.
Any comment could help me a lot.

To learn different story of sex, Google breath to orgasm. You will find number of websites, giving detailed knowledge to change your views. You may look at few exercises. these are stand alone exercises. So you can try any one which resonate with you.
Male deer exercise, kegel exercise, circulating sexual energy around microcosmic orbit, Sat kriya, Kundalini yoga(Full course)  By nature, if you are of strong opinion, do not read any thing. It will be of no use to you. Read it if you are prepared to open mind.

even breathing means, inhalation time and exhalation time are equal. count 1 to 5 while inhaling and count 5 for exhaling. You may adjust to  gradually to any number but they should be equal.

Study the subject without a biased mind. Take care of your general health, read ample literature on sex. In old books or religious books you will find what you are believing. If you read latest lierture, you will know what too do. Buy some good books and study like a good student. There are many techniues which can help to address to your problems.
You will no be able to stop masturbation with your will power. It will come out through wet dreams.  Learn slow,deep and even abdominal breathing for 10 minutes every day. Whenever you are aroused  take few deep breaths, you will reduce your sexual urge. You will be able to control with such techniques. If you stop forcefully, it is going to harm you.

The short answer is that if it makes you feel bad and you can't be convinced it's okay to do say 3 x a week, then fine, stop doing it.  Nobody can really fix what's in your head for you.  Some people feel a lot of guilt over things for no real reason.

thx for the answer first.
I said I am addicted but not that bad.
i dont jerk off everyday just sometimes.
And I've investigated about the difference between masturbation and sex and asked my friends and what i concluded was that they're totally different WHYYY????
because when u jerk off u release totally different hormones than when u sex.
and my friend says that exact same thing that when he masturbates he feels some kind of remorse but after sex he is totally find n happy.
So why do i feel so bad after it and my friend and many others??
and about growth stunt i should say that when i was busy doing this I didnt grew even 1 cm but i quited for 3 months and i grew 1cm so yeah it affects.

Convince me why it is not ok. YOU have an addiction problem, doesn't mean masterbation is bad. YOU can't handle it.

If masterbation caused you to have eye floaters and stunted growth then sex would do the same thing but it does not.

What you have going on in your head about feelign guilty has nothing to do with masterbating it has to do about morals and values that have been told to you.

I have no problem saying I have masterbated. I'm not going to tell my parents that because it's private and they don't need to know. I'm not going to call up a friend and say "hey i just jerked off" because they don't need to know or care.
