I'm 16 and have been masturbating about three times a day. I've been wondering if this is normal or if there might be any mental or physical side effects from doing it so often. Could this be affecting my health in any way?

Masturbation leads to low energy levels, fatigue and lethargy. Masturbation is almost always associated with porn addiction, which over extended periods of time can cause effects like depression, impotence and loss of focus.
