Honestly, is it normal?? Is masturbation normal?? If it is, can it get you pregnant?
Sorry, I'm a paranoid 11 year old :)

No need to be paranoid. I definitely know how you feel and relate having been there as a kid. A lot of parents don't educate their children adequately about it due to their own embarrassment or an assumption sex-education courses cover it in great detail when it doesn't always.
You can relax as it's a totally normal, healthy activity that will teach you a lot about your body so when you have a partner later in life you know how it responds and can communicate this to them. It cannot make you pregnant nor give you a disease or hairy palms or blind among other myths.
It's pretty much universal with teens/tweens of either sex. It's fine if you do it and fine if you do not. Nothing bad can come from doing it or enjoying it.
Females of all ages and males of all ages do so. It's just one of those things people don't openly talk about or admit to doing but rest assured your peers are likely doing it as do adults but would never admit. You're not abnormal at all. In fact in a lot of company.
77% of females statistically do so as do 90% of males at some point in life. Doctors will tell you it's perfectly normal and healthy if you ask them and have done so in articles/studies. So, you can relax as it's all perfectly fine. ]
Masturbation is totally normal. Most of us do it at some point or another, and it's part of a healthy sex life.
The best thing about masturbation is that it's basically risk free. You can't get pregnant, you won't get STIs and it makes you feel good. It's a win-win-win! ]
