You shouldn't feel any guilt over doing it either as they say 90% of males do it and 78% of females. Those who don't either have religious or other reasons not to. Do
Doctors have even said that it is normal. Men, women, children, seniors etc all do it and its natural. The only con is if you are doing it far too much to the point it's all you want to do and socializing goes out the window in favor of masturbating. As long as that is not happening enjoy it.

I can't really think of anything negative, so I'll focus on the positive:
- Less likely to engage in sex at an early age
- Great way of relieving tension
- You learn about your body so that when you start being sexually active, you know what you like and it's more enjoyable for you
- You become more comfortable with yourself and your sexuality
