Children should be taught not to masturbate at the first signs of puberty.
Masturbation can be described as manipulating one’s own sexual organs to produce sexual excitement.
"Sometimes masturbation is the introduction to the more serious sins of exhibitionism and the gross sin of homosexuality."
Nocturnal emission is not masturbation.
Prophets have condemned masturbation throughout the ages.
The sin of masturbation occurs when a person stimulates his or her own sex organs for the purpose of sexual arousal.

Notes

A have a suspicion that current teachings regarding masturbation are based more on cultural taboos than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am unaware of any real scriptural basis for what we (though, really, almost exclusively the youth) are often taught.
