just to throw my 2 cents in - you're calling it an addiction. You're a young healthy girl, you're gonna have feelings and thoughts and urges. No one ever told me, so I'm telling you. Everyone does. You're going to school and getting stuff done, so it doesn't seem to be interfering with your life, so is it fair to call it an addiction? I understand there may be religious reasons you may not want to engage in this behavior, but you may also just want to talk to a medical person, a nurse or whatever, and get the straight health facts on masturbation. Again, just saying cos I wish someone had helped me. good luck.
