Your bond with God and your religious convictions don't change any because you masturbate or not. As long as you hold on to what you believe and principles and values you're fine.
In fact, you're being very responsible as you're dealing with sexual tension and feelings without getting someone pregnant or becoming pregnant, getting STDs or going against your beliefs or doing things with random people. You have to relieve this tension and hormones some way. This is a natural, responsible, safe way to keep your head on straight and sex drive in check.
I've read that about 90% of males do it and 70% of all females of all ages and walks of life. Your classmates, friends, people you know etc etc. likely all do it but don't talk about it. It's fine and will not make you any less a Christian, send you to Hell etc etc.
It's also not premarital sex or having sex with another person who you aren't married to therefore it doesn't violate that principle and core belief in your faith.
As hard as it may be to do so you should ask an adult you trust be it an aunt, uncle, grandparent, parent, older sibling etc. if they feel it's a sin and against your beliefs. Trust me, most parents would be happier their kids are doing this rather than having sex and doing drugs.
What matter is whether you think it's okay or not. The answer most people get in health class is that it's normal to do it and normal not to and that you shouldn't feel guilt.
As I see it it doesn't change your beliefs or your relationship with God and isn't a sin or premarital sex. If you want to continue with it great, if not great but don't fret as only you know what's right for you and your own body.
If you enjoy the sensations it gives and feel happy continuing with it than do so. If not than that's okay too. Either way don't feel ashamed or dirty as it's perfectly natural and almost universal with teens of both sexes. It's also a good way of getting rid of stress. There's many health benefits as said below in other responses.

If you are waiting until after you are married because you are part of a religious belief that you should not participate in sexual acts until you are married, masturbation is a sin.

No it isn't wrong. Its very normal.
It helps ease menstrual cramps for
girls, and helps boys prevent those
embarrassing erections they get as
teens.
More for information here is a good
site. While there check out some of
the other topics. :)

Some people may believe that it is wrong, but it is proven that masturbation is good for you. It can help you release stress and is also a good way to release sexual tension. Masturbating will give you what you need without you having to engage in sexual intercourse.
Hope I Helped.
