It was fun in the beginning, but now it just seems like something I would do when I was younger. How can I stop?

That's really a tall order, as anyone who's tried can tell you! The need to periodically release semen is so strong, especially in a male your age, that the urge to masturbate is nearly unavoidable. Even if you are able to not do it for a while (like a week), your body may respond by releasing it at night in a nocturnal emission (or "wet dream"). It might help you to know, though, that most males masturbate regularly for their whole lives – not just when they're kids. If you really want to stop, though, all I can say is good luck!
