Depending on your beliefs masturbation is not always considered a sin, but you have to decide that upon yourself.
As for avoiding sexual temptation, be sure to stay out of situations in which you will feel tempted to engage in sexual things with someone else, go out in groups. Other than that the battle is really within yourself, talking to peopel can help alot. If you have someone close, such as a friend or family member, that could be a big help. If not you can always talk to people on this advice site.
Just take it day by day and keep telling yourself that you won't do any of it until marriage. Always remind yourself of how you'll feel if you do save yourself for marriage. You WILL feel fantastic!
