I would like the Christian perspective, please. I don't know what to do, it is really hard for me to stop myself.

Sorry, I'm not a Christian.
But be mindful that whatever you resist persists. What you put your mind and attention on is going to keep on happening.
So one answer is to put your mind and attention on other things, if you can.
I must believe that you are a healthy young human, and therefore masturbation isn't actually all that bad for you.
Look at it this way: According to the Bible, God is Omnipotent and Satan has no power. Therefore, every part of you, the good, the bad, and the ugly was created by God for a purpose. Do you really think God intended you to get married not knowing anything about sex or about what pleases you? The key is not to feel the lust in your heart, because Jesus is supposed to be in your heart. When you let lust dominate your heart, you kick Jesus out.
But it's okay, it sounds like you are feeling this lust in your groin, not your heart.
Cool.

Do not resist. Just behave appropriately until you have some privacy, then do what feels good. It's healthy for body and mind. Human beings were created as sexual creatures, and there is nothing wrong or shameful about masturbation. It's none of anyone else's business what you do in private.

Use an icepack or lots of cold showers. Unless you are trying to become a priest, why would you want to stop masterbating? It is perfectly normal and healthy to masterbate on a regular basis. Good luck to you. You do know that it is an old wives tale that masterbation will cause blindness.

It's quite difficult to resist something which occurs naturally in nearly 100% of the human population. Nothing in scripture prohibits this. Enjoy & don't come under condemnation for it.

FIND A WIFE AND QUICK!
But,in all seriousness,you may want to try to seek out professional help.Keep on praying about it of course,but if you're doing something and wish that you wouldn't and can't stop(boy,that's a mouth full) then you need pro help.
Best of luck dude!

Masturbating is not a sin !! You are exploring your body so you know what pleases you. In the future when you marry and your wife asks you, what you like you will have an answer for her. Because you have done you research. It is natural what is not natural is suppressing your desire for release an(orgasm).

I am a Christian. I have been my whole life. I attended a Christian high school and college. I can tell you that you don't have to feel bad about it. That is a perfectly normal thing.
