I guess that's what you mean by addiction.
If by addiction you mean masturbating frequently, enjoying it, wanting to do it often when you aren't—that's not bad. That's just life for lost of people, for most teens.
If you mean that it's something someone can't control, yes that would be bad. People should be in control of themselves.
Masturbation is completely healthy. Everyone does it. It doesn't hurt anyone. Masturbating often isn't a bad addiction, it's just lots of safe fun.

Masturbation itself is not abnormal or unhealthy, but if you are masturbating to the point that all other people/activities are being exlcuded from your life or to the extent that you are causing yourself pain (sensitive or inflamed skin), then you may want to seek the counsel of a physician or psychologist to determine the underlying causes.
Wikepedia:
"Masturbating frequently presents no physical, mental or emotional risk in itself,[41] but masturbation can be used to relieve boredom or stress. In either case, as with any "nervous habit", it is more helpful to consider the causes of the boredom or of the stress, rather than try to repress the masturbation.[42] There is some discussion between professionals and other interested parties as to the existence or validity of sexual addictions. Nevertheless, there are lists of warning signs such as when sexual activity affects a person's ability to function in everyday life, or is placing them at risk, for example, of pursuing illegal or destructive activities. Very frequent and compulsive masturbation may be seen as a sign of sexual addiction.[43]"

Masturbation is healty and actually good for you. You can do it as many times as you want as long as you can handel it. If you start feeling tried or sick, dont do it that often. But nothing about it is bad. I do it once a day

No. Absolutely not. Even scientifically not. And definitely not in a pleasure sense.
So the real and complete answer is NO!. Please continue your addiction, it will make your life much more enjoyable.
Anyone who disses masturbation, does not have the proper technique....or has to use tweezers to accomplish the act.
