Hello,
I can understand your concern. Even though feel ashamed or embarrassed, you do not need to feel so there is nothing wrong in masturbating. Having sexual desires is as natural as having desire to eat when you are hungry. So do not look down on yourself. As you are just 15 years old and have just reached puberty, you are feeling intense desire to masturbate, it will decrease as you will age. In addition, masturbation can not make you lazy, or make you sleep more or can decrease your grades.
You should decrease your focus on sexual desires by increasing your focus on studies. Do not watch too much porn videos or magazines if you are doing so. You can decrease your frequency of masturbation by distracting yourself by other things like playing outdoor games or watching a good movie on reading a good book. Concentrate more on studies and your grades will improve automatically. Trying to suppress your desire of masturbation actively will make you think of it even more and will keep distracting you from studies. Just do not pay too much attention on how much you are masturbating and do it when you feel it while focusing on other important things at other times.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
