Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please understand, masturbation is normal and natural, even animals masturbate. In any way, masturbation cannot affect your health directly. Therefore, the stagnation in your growth during the current year, cannot be linked with your habit of masturbation. Please do not link these two because such linking could cause unnecessary anxiety and obsession. You will grow in height. You have time up to the age of 22. Before that, any period, you will experience a phenomenon called growth spurt. During growth spurt, you will grow by almost 3 to 4 inches within a year. Concentrate on your education please.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
